Wrap Technologies Secures $4.5M in Private Placement to Accelerate Emerging Counter-Drone Technologies and Dual-Use Go-to-Market Strategy

Key Financing Highlights:

Accelerates Counter-UAS Fielding: Proceeds are expected to advance Wrap's recently announced Wrap-Merlin and Wrap-PANDA programs, which repurpose existing BolaWrap® 150 inventory into new counter-drone capabilities, enabling rapid progression from development to field application.

Dual-Use Pathway: Supports both Wrap's continued law enforcement go-to-market strategy and near-term commercial wins in federal sales, where counter-UAS demand is accelerating. Wrap believes this "dual use" model positions Wrap to leverage its existing technology base while building a scalable federal government business through primes and strategic Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) offices.

Expands Market Execution: In parallel, the financing is expected to strengthen Wrap's law enforcement growth initiatives, including subscription-based solutions (WrapReady and WrapPlus) and its ecosystem of public safety technologies (BolaWrap 150, WrapVision, and WrapReality).

WrapVision Expansion: Funds are also expected to advance WrapVision's offering of North American–made body cameras through third-party partnerships, while building out cost-saving technologies in data processing, migration, and storage—addressing major cost pain points for law enforcement agencies and opening access to adjacent markets such as healthcare where current solutions remain economically prohibitive.
