WRAP anchors the platform with a strategic investment in Frenel Imaging Ltd., securing WRAP exclusive U.S. and NATO commercialization rights to TPiCore® thermal-polarimetric sensing and establishing the detection layer for WrapShield and potential future responses across every domain
MIAMI, July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wrap Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: WRAP) ("Wrap" or, the "Company"), a global public safety technology company, today launched WrapShield, an autonomous defense and public safety platform designed to detect threats earlier, orchestrate the response, and act with proportionate, mission-appropriate action; built on the conviction that this decade's defining threats, from the battlefield to the homeland, will be solved not by better individual devices but by an intelligent operating layer connecting detection to response.
WrapShield represents the next evolution of WRAP – from a company recognized for innovative non-lethal tools to a platform company connecting advanced sensing, artificial intelligence, command-and-control, and response technologies into a unified operating architecture for public safety, homeland security, defense, and critical infrastructure.
To stand up the platform's detection layer, WRAP announced a strategic investment in Frenel Imaging Ltd. ("Frenel"), an Israeli advanced-sensing company, together with an exclusive U.S. and NATO license to Frenel's proprietary TPiCore® thermal-polarimetric imaging. Frenel is expected to be the first of many planned investments into WrapShield. WRAP believes it identified the market's blind spot early and secured access before the U.S. market fully understood this newly validated operational technology. Already in operational use in Israel, Frenel's technology brings WRAP access to a sensing capability that the Company believes is relevant to U.S. defense and public safety markets.
WrapShield is an autonomous defense and public safety platform intended to serve as an operating layer that connects detection, decision, and response across complex operational environments. WrapShield is designed to enable government agencies to integrate existing and future sensors, AI capabilities, and response technologies into a unified operational ecosystem.
Detect: Advanced multi-modal sensing beginning with Frenel's TPiCore® thermal-polarimetric imaging and AI edge processing, with an architecture designed to incorporate additional sensing technologies over time.
Orchestrate: AI-assisted, human-supervised threat detection, classification, and decision support that fuses sensor data, assesses threats, and recommends proportionate courses of action while interoperating with government and third-party command-and-control systems.
Respond: A response layer capable of integrating WRAP's own technologies as well as third-party and government response capabilities – kinetic or non-kinetic, lethal or non-lethal, autonomous or human-directed – based on mission requirements, rules of engagement, and customer preferences. The initial application is counter-UAS, with an architecture designed to expand across defense, public safety, critical infrastructure, border security, and other autonomous security missions.
