Wrap Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP) has announced the launch of WrapShield, an autonomous defense and public safety platform that connects threat detection, AI-assisted decision support, and response technologies into a unified operating architecture. The company stated that the platform is designed to help government agencies integrate existing and future sensors, artificial intelligence capabilities, and response technologies across defense, public safety, homeland security, critical infrastructure, and border security applications, with an initial focus on counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS).
Alongside the platform launch, Wrap Technologies announced a strategic investment in Israel-based Frenel Imaging Ltd. and has secured an exclusive U.S. and NATO license for Frenel's proprietary TPiCore thermal-polarimetric imaging technology, which will serve as the initial sensing layer for WrapShield. The company expects Frenel to be the first of multiple planned investments supporting the platform, which is designed to expand across a range of autonomous security and surveillance markets.

Wrap Technologies is a global leader in innovative public safety technologies and non-lethal tools, delivering cutting-edge technology to address complex, modern-day challenges facing public safety organizations. The company's 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 device 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 device is not pain-based compliance; it does not shoot, strike, shock, or incapacitate, but instead helps officers strategically operate pre-escalation on the force continuum. Used by over 1,000 agencies across the U.S. and in 60 countries, BolaWrap is backed by training certified by the International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training (IADLEST).
WrapReality VR is a fully immersive training simulator designed to enhance decision-making under stress, providing first responders with realistic, interactive scenarios that reflect evolving challenges. WrapVision is an all-new body-worn camera and evidence management system designed for efficiency, security, and transparency. The WrapVision camera, powered by IONODES, boasts streamlined cloud integration and final North American assembly, with a critical made-in-America roadmap projected for early 2026. This track helps ensure data integrity and eliminates concerns over unauthorized access or foreign surveillance risks.
The launch of WrapShield represents a significant step in integrating AI and sensor technologies for autonomous security, with potential implications for defense and public safety sectors. The strategic investment in Frenel Imaging highlights Wrap's commitment to enhancing its capabilities in thermal-polarimetric imaging, which could improve threat detection in various environments.
