Wrap Technologies, Mithril Defense achieve first drone-to-human interdiction

Wrap Technologies (WRAP) announced it released video footage from successful live-field testing of its MERLIN-Interdictor, one of the world’s first Drone-First-Responder Interdiction, DFR-X, payload, conducted at the Mithril Defense headquarters in Austin, Texas. “We’re proud to share one of the world’s first successful demonstration of non-lethal drone-to-subject engagement,” said Michael Brown, Vice President of Product at Wrap. “This validation shows that MERLIN can interdict a simulated active-shooter threat through precise, remote, non-lethal engagement – which we believe represents a breakthrough in protecting lives, particularly in schools, where every second counts.”
