(Nasdaq: PRZO) (the “Company” or “ParaZero”), an aerospace\ndefense company pioneering smart, autonomous solutions for the global manned\nand unmanned aerial systems (UAS) industry, today announced that it has\nreceived a third order from a Tier-1 Israeli-based global defense company for\nits DefendAir Net Pods and a dedicated integration support package.\n\nThe new order follows the successful completion of the customer’s evaluation\nstage and marks the next phase in the deployment process, as the program\nadvances from evaluation and validation toward system integration and\noperational implementation.\n\nFollowing successful completion of evaluation stage, this new order for\nDefendAir Net Pods and integration support advances the system toward\noperational deployment and broader adoption.\n\nThe order includes additional DefendAir Net Pods together with dedicated\nParaZero engineering support to continue the integration of the technology\ninto the customer’s Counter-UAS system. The expanded engagement is intended\nto support the technical work required to advance the integrated solution\ntoward operational deployment.\n\nFor ParaZero, the progression from evaluation to repeated procurement and\ncontinued engineering integration demonstrates the advancement of DefendAir\nthrough the defense technology adoption cycle. The Company believes the third\norder reflects a growing level of commitment to the technology as the customer\nmoves beyond evaluation and toward establishing an operational capability.\n\nDefendAir provides a controlled, non-explosive, net-based physical\ninterception layer designed to neutralize hostile drones. Its modular Net Pod\narchitecture enables integration into autonomous, mobile, fixed and unmanned\ndefense platforms and can be adapted to different target profiles, system\narchitectures and operational requirements.\n\n“Moving from evaluation to integration and operational deployment is where a\ntechnology begins to become an actual defense capability,” said Ariel Alon,\nCEO of ParaZero Technologies. “This third order represents continued\nprogress in that process and reflects the customer’s advancement with\nDefendAir beyond the evaluation stage. Our focus now is supporting the\nintegration process and helping move the system toward operational deployment\nat scale.”\n\nThe integration support package enables ParaZero’s engineering team to work\ndirectly with the customer throughout the next phase of system development,\nsupporting integration of the Net Pods into the broader Counter-UAS\narchitecture and adapting the interception capability to the platform’s\nspecific technical and operational requirements.\n\nParaZero believes this model of progressing from evaluation, through technical\nintegration, to operational deployment represents an important pathway for\nexpanding DefendAir adoption among major defense manufacturers and system\nintegrators.\n\nAs Counter-UAS systems increasingly evolve toward complete engagement\narchitectures capable of detecting, tracking and ultimately neutralizing\nhostile drones, DefendAir is designed to provide the physical interception\nlayer required to complete that engagement. The Company’s strategy is to\nestablish DefendAir as a modular interception capability that can be\nintegrated across multiple platforms, programs and operational environments.\n\nAbout ParaZero Technologies\n\nParaZero Technologies Ltd.
