Wrap Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP) announced its featured placement in a NetworkNewsWire editorial that examines the pressing need for autonomous public safety technologies as low-cost commercial drones increasingly challenge traditional response capabilities. The editorial highlights how drones have outpaced conventional security measures, creating new threats ranging from border surveillance and prison contraband deliveries to incursions at sensitive military installations.
According to the editorial, Wrap Technologies holds exclusive U.S. and NATO distribution rights to AI-powered sensing technology acquired through its strategic transaction with Frenel Imaging Ltd. This technology forms the perception core of the company’s WrapShield counter-unmanned aircraft system (counter-UAS) and autonomous public safety platform. The system is designed to detect difficult-to-identify aerial threats, enabling earlier detection and coordinated responses while positioning WrapShield as a broader autonomous public safety solution.

The growing drone threat has become a significant concern for public safety and defense organizations. Traditional methods of detecting and responding to unauthorized drones are often insufficient against small, agile, and low-flying commercial drones. Wrap Technologies aims to address this gap with its advanced sensing and AI capabilities, which can identify and track threats that might otherwise go unnoticed. The WrapShield platform integrates these capabilities to provide a comprehensive solution for protecting critical infrastructure, military bases, and public events.
Wrap Technologies, Inc. is a global leader in innovative public safety technologies and non-lethal tools. Its complete public safety portfolio includes the non-lethal BolaWrap 150 device, Wrap Reality immersive training platform, WrapVision body-worn camera system, WrapTactics training programs, and next-generation C-UAS solutions like PAN-DA and the 1KC Kinetic Anti-Drone Cassette. These technologies support the company’s mission to provide safer, scalable, and cost-effective solutions for public safety, defense, and critical infrastructure markets.
The BolaWrap 150, used by over 1,000 agencies across the U.S. and in 60 countries, incorporates a multi-sensory 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. The Wrap Reality VR training platform provides first responders with realistic, interactive scenarios to enhance decision-making under stress. WrapVision, a body-worn camera and evidence management system, is designed for efficiency, security, and transparency, with a made-in-America roadmap projected for early 2026.
As drone threats continue to evolve, the demand for autonomous public safety technologies is expected to grow. Wrap Technologies’ strategic focus on AI-powered sensing and counter-UAS solutions positions it to meet these emerging challenges. The editorial underscores the importance of such technologies in maintaining security and safety in an increasingly complex threat environment.
