Wrap Technologies expands R&D into net-based drone capture technology
Wrap Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP) announced a research and development initiative focused on net-based drone capture technologies for public safety and law enforcement applications.
The Miami-based company said the initiative builds on its existing Kevlar-based cassette technology from the BolaWrap platform, extending it into aerial payload configurations designed for intercepting unmanned aerial systems. The development efforts focus on both drone-to-drone interception and air-to-ground deployment concepts.
Current research includes net-based payloads for aerial capture of target drones, adaptation of Kevlar cord systems for broader capture scenarios, multi-payload drone configurations for multiple capture opportunities, and scalable cassette designs for different mission profiles across law enforcement and security environments.
The company said its aerial capture strategy targets use in domestic and international public safety settings, offering physical capture rather than destructive defeat, avoidance of radio frequency interference in civilian environments, reduced debris over populated areas, and alignment with agency use-of-force frameworks.
Wrap's development roadmap includes concepts for multi-drone interdiction from a single platform, with the ability to deploy multiple net payloads in sequence. The company said this could improve mission flexibility and support operational readiness in environments with repeated drone incursions.
The expansion represents part of Wrap's broader non-lethal response platform, which includes the BolaWrap device, WrapReality training platform, WrapVision body-worn camera system, and counter-unmanned aerial system solutions. The company said its products are used by over 1,000 agencies across the United States and in 60 countries.
