Wrap Technologies Unveils Second Counter-UAS Program: Handheld Surface-To-Air, Quick-Reaction Personal Anti-Drone Capability Repurposing BolaWrap 150
Wrap Technologies (NASDAQ: WRAP) has unveiled Project PAN-DA (Personal Anti-Drone Armament), its second counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) initiative. The system repurposes the company's BolaWrap 150 platform to create a handheld counter-drone defense system that launches Kevlar tethers to physically entangle and disable hostile drones midair.
Built on technology currently used by over 1,000 law enforcement agencies, PAN-DA aims to provide a cost-effective, reusable alternative to existing drone defense solutions. The company is targeting the global counter-drone market, projected to grow from $1.9 billion in 2023 to $6.8 billion by 2030. Following successful phase one proof of concept, Wrap's engineering teams will focus on enhancing range, area-of-effect, and cassette cost optimization.
Wrap Technologies (NASDAQ: WRAP) ha presentato Project PAN-DA (Personal Anti-Drone Armament), la sua seconda iniziativa contro i sistemi aerei senza pilota (C-UAS). Il sistema riconverte la piattaforma BolaWrap 150 dell'azienda per creare un sistema portatile di difesa anti-drone che lancia funi in Kevlar per agganciare fisicamente e neutralizzare i droni ostili in volo.
Basato su una tecnologia gi脿 impiegata da oltre 1.000 forze dell'ordine, PAN-DA punta a offrire un'alternativa riutilizzabile ed economica alle soluzioni attuali di difesa dai droni. L'azienda mira al mercato globale dei sistemi anti-drone, previsto crescere da 1,9 miliardi di dollari nel 2023 a 6,8 miliardi entro il 2030. Dopo il successo della prima fase di proof of concept, i team di ingegneria di Wrap si concentreranno sull'aumento della portata, sull'ampliamento dell'area d'effetto e sull'ottimizzazione dei costi delle cassette.

Insights
Wrap's entry into the $6.8B counter-drone market with PAN-DA leverages existing technology for new defense applications.
Wrap Technologies has made a strategic expansion into the counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) market with its second initiative, Project PAN-DA. This innovation repurposes the company's established BolaWrap 150 platform to create a handheld drone defense system that launches Kevlar tethers designed to physically entangle and disable hostile drones in flight.
The technical approach is particularly noteworthy for its operational simplicity. By adapting existing BolaWrap technology already trusted by over 1,000 law enforcement agencies, Wrap has developed a lightweight, belt-carried solution that addresses the growing threat of small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) without requiring complex electronic warfare capabilities. This presents a significant advantage over alternatives like missile interceptors, expendable counter-drones, or jamming systems that are typically more expensive, bulkier, or less reliable in certain environments.
From a market perspective, Wrap is targeting an increasingly critical defense segment. The counter-drone market is projected to grow from $1.9 billion in 2023 to $6.8 billion by 2030, driven by the proliferation of drone threats across military, law enforcement, and critical infrastructure protection scenarios. The company's approach of leveraging existing manufacturing infrastructure for the BolaWrap platform could enable faster scaling and recurring revenue through consumable cassette sales.
With Phase One proof of concept now demonstrated, Wrap's engineering focus on enhancing range, area-of-effect, and cassette cost optimization will be crucial for the system's effectiveness against evolving drone capabilities. This development represents a measured expansion of Wrap's core technology into adjacent markets with higher price points and potentially stronger margins.
Wrap PAN-DA launches Kevlar tethers from existing BolaWrap 150 product line designed to physically entangle and disable hostile drones midair鈥攄eepens offerings into DoD and estimated
MIAMI, Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wrap Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP) (the 鈥淐ompany鈥� or 鈥淲rap鈥�), a global leader in innovative public safety technology, today announced its second research and development counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) initiative and released a Phase One video showing proof of concept on its website (www.Wrap.com). Wrap鈥檚 Project PAN-DA (Personal Anti-Drone Armament) concept is a handheld counter-drone system derived from the Company鈥檚 proven BolaWrap庐 150 platform.
This first-phase milestone follows Wrap鈥檚 recent entry into the C-UAS market and introduces a personal, close-range, last-ditch defense capability to the Company鈥檚 expanding portfolio of aerial threat mitigation research and development.
Leveraging Wrap鈥檚 patented deploying tether-and-anchor technology trusted by more than 1,000 law enforcement agencies worldwide, PAN-DA is designed to engage and disable small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) at close range. Compact, reloadable, and field-deployable, Wrap aims to offer defense personnel and international operators a cost-effective, reusable alternative to costly missile interceptors, expendable drones, and bulky single-purpose weapon platforms or unreliable electronic jamming systems.
Built on the proven BolaWrap庐 150 platform, PAN-DA aims to offer operators a precision counter-drone capability that can be carried on the belt for immediate deployment. Using existing BolaWrap庐 cassette technology, the system is designed to enable multiple engagements per unit, delivering a cost-efficient solution that scales through established manufacturing and supports recurring revenue from consumable sales.
鈥淧AN-DA builds on the proven BolaWrap庐 platform, which we believe will give operators a lightweight, reliable, and non-lethal means of defending themselves and their environment from drone threats,鈥� said Michael Brown, Vice President of Products at Wrap Technologies. 鈥淥ur development path is now focused on practical, scalable solutions that address today鈥檚 urgent threats while anticipating tomorrow鈥檚 challenges.鈥�
鈥淲e鈥檙e proud to focus our efforts on applying our trusted BolaWrap庐 150 device in a new way, while staying true to the same mission,鈥� said Jared Novick, President and Chief Operating Officer of Wrap. 鈥淲ith Project PAN-DA, we are aiming to develop another life-saving product that expands our ability to protect lives and respond to emerging threats.鈥�
