Wrap Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP) announced a strategic partnership with Vector, a defense technology company, to develop drone-enabled non-lethal response and counter-unmanned aircraft systems for law enforcement and public safety applications.

The partnership combines Wrap's non-lethal response platform and drone interdiction technologies with Vector's expertise in unmanned tactical hardware development and command and control systems. The companies plan to jointly develop, integrate and deploy next-generation drone-enabled solutions for law enforcement, homeland security and national security missions.

"Our vision for NLR extends far beyond a single device. It is about creating an integrated ecosystem of technologies, training, and operational doctrine that allows officers and operators to intervene earlier and resolve situations before they escalate," said Jared Novick, President of Wrap.

The collaboration will focus on multiple applications including drone-enabled non-lethal intervention capabilities, human-supervised counter-drone response systems, and integrated kinetic and non-kinetic counter-drone technologies. The companies also plan to develop public safety and defense drone operations training programs.

"This partnership allows us to combine Vector's experience in unmanned systems and tactical training with Wrap's Non-Lethal Response platform to create solutions that will enhance mission effectiveness," said Andy Yakulis, Founder and CEO of Vector.

Vector has raised more than $80 million in growth capital from investors including Lightspeed Venture Partners, Point72 Ventures, Shield Capital, and Pelion Venture Partners to develop unmanned systems for defense and national security applications.

The companies intend to conduct joint demonstrations and customer engagements across domestic and international markets, including U.S. federal agencies and allied government partners. They also plan to engage in coordinated government affairs and policy initiatives to support regulatory frameworks for drone-enabled non-lethal technologies.
