The Overlooked Layer Where Counter-Drone Investment Dollars Are Now Heading
· Financial Post
NEW YORK, Aug. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: 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. (NASDAQ: WRAP) (profile) 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. The company is working to occupy a unique position where other leading operators, including Ondas Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS), Red Cat Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: RCAT), Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) and Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ: KOPN), are working to offer innovative, effective technology for military and national security applications. Read More
