Counter-drone defense spent most of the last decade being treated as a technology problem, but it has quietly become a math problem instead. The field has landed on directed energy as the fix, since a laser that fires for a fraction of a cent replaces a multimillion-dollar interceptor. Solving that cost equation, however, revealed a tougher issue behind it: Aiming a laser requires sensing most fielded systems don’t have, just as the threat itself has gone quiet.

Wrap Technologies Inc. has spent the summer establishing a position at that junction, specifically assembling an exclusive U.S. and NATO license to a physics-based sensing technology, now paired with laser directed-energy interception through a broadened partnership with Israeli firm Frenel Imaging. It’s the newest layer in WrapShield(TM), the open architecture Wrap has built, aimed at Department of War force protection, DHS border security, critical infrastructure and tactical law enforcement markets.

About Wrap Technologies Inc. Wrap Technologies is a global leader in innovative public safety technologies and non-lethal tools, delivering cutting-edge technology with exceptional people to address the complex, modern-day challenges facing public-safety organizations.

WRAP’s complete public-safety portfolio includes the non-lethal BolaWrap(R) 150 device, Wrap Reality(R) immersive training platform, WrapVision(TM) body-worn camera system, WrapTactics(TM) training programs, and next-generation C-UAS solutions such as PAN-DA and the 1KC Kinetic Anti-Drone Cassette, all of which supports the company’s mission to provide safer, scalable and cost-effective technologies for public safety, defense and critical infrastructure markets.

With a growing demand for non-lethal tools and techniques to create time, distance and tactical advantage in noncriminal calls, Wrap’s BolaWrap 150 incorporates a multisensory distraction of sight and sound as a first response, followed by a non-lethal restraint if further escalation is required. This approach reduces the risk of injury to officers, subjects, and the community.

Wrap’s BolaWrap 150 solution is intended to provide law enforcement with a safer choice for nearly every phase of a critical incident. This innovative, patented device deploys a multi-sensory, cognitive disruption to expand the pre-escalation period and gives officers the advantage and critical time to manage non-compliant subjects before resorting to higher-force options. The BolaWrap 150 is not pain-based compliance.
