Wrap Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP) announced plans to develop drone-based non-lethal response payloads incorporating directional light, laser dazzler, and sensory deterrence technologies for unmanned systems deployment.

The Miami-based company said the initiative expands its non-lethal response platform and supports integration of advanced sensory, restraint, and escalation-management technologies into human-operated and autonomous public safety systems.

The planned payload systems will include configurable directional light and visual disruption technologies, including laser dazzler concepts designed to temporarily impair visual focus and disrupt escalation pathways, according to the company's statement.

WRAP indicated these capabilities may be integrated alongside its BolaWrap remote restraint technology as part of a drone-enabled non-lethal response system. The company is exploring how directional light, visual disruption, sensory deterrence, and remote restraint technologies may operate together for earlier intervention opportunities.

"These technologies represent another step toward our broader vision for integrated Non-Lethal Response," said Jared Novick, president of WRAP. "We believe the future operating environment for public safety and homeland security may increasingly involve autonomous systems, drone-enabled response, sensory disruption technologies, and scalable non-lethal tools."

The company stated these capabilities may have applications across public safety, border security, corrections, force protection, crowd management, critical infrastructure security, and autonomous response operations where early intervention and non-lethal escalation management are priorities.

WRAP's expansion into drone-based sensory deterrence technologies builds upon existing investments in non-lethal restraint systems, virtual reality training, counter-unmanned aircraft systems initiatives, and autonomous response concepts.

The company's roadmap includes continued exploration of drone-enabled non-lethal response technologies, integrated autonomous payload systems, and deployment architectures for public safety agencies, corrections, force protection, border security, and defense applications.
