Wrap Technologies Expands R&D into Net‑Based Drone Interdiction

WRAP
April 13, 2026

Wrap Technologies announced a new research and development initiative focused on net‑based drone capture technology, building on the Kevlar‑based cassette system that underpins its BolaWrap restraint device.

The program targets drone‑to‑drone interception and air‑to‑ground deployment concepts, enabling the system to be deployed in populated or infrastructure‑sensitive settings where non‑lethal solutions are required.

By adding a counter‑UAS capability, Wrap aims to broaden its pre‑escalation ecosystem, create a new revenue stream, and compete for federal and homeland security contracts that increasingly demand non‑lethal aerial interdiction solutions.

The initiative leverages existing technology, reducing development time and cost, and aligns with the rapidly expanding counter‑UAS market. Wrap has already secured partnerships with Vector and K‑Form and has demonstrated air‑to‑air interdiction tests with its MERLIN‑Interdictor payload.

While a specific commercialization timeline has not been disclosed, the move reflects Wrap’s broader momentum: Q4 2025 revenue rose 62% YoY to $1.4 million, full‑year 2025 revenue grew 15% YoY to $5.2 million, and the company targets 100% revenue growth in 2026.

The expansion positions Wrap to capture a share of the counter‑UAS market, where non‑lethal, net‑based solutions differentiate it from competitors that rely on electronic or kinetic methods.
