Safety Systems for Off-The-Shelf and Custom Drones

ParaZero is a leading developer of parachute systems for UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles). Our drone safety solutions enable operators to conduct BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) missions and flights over populated areas with minimal risk and full compliance with international regulations. ParaZero was established in 2014 and since we have been recognized as experts in drone safety industry, and are active contributors to the development of standardization for safe unmanned aerial operations. Our SafeAir TM system were a critical factor in enabling the first ever Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) waiver for operations over people with a parachute system including the first filmed from a drone, NFL’s Super Bowl. All our products are fully compliant with the highest standards of regulation, and are thus recognized by the FAA, EASA, Transport Canada, and other aviation regulators around the world as suitable and effective risk mitigation strategies for drones operating in urban environments. ParaZero’s unique and patented solution deploys the parachute rapidly and opens to full canopy in a fraction of a second starching the possibilities of drone operation even further.

Parachute Recovery Systems for Commercial Drones

The ParaZero SafeAir™ parachute system uses sophisticated AI and machine learning-powered flight computer analysis to constantly monitor and analyze drone flight data and patterns in real time. Flight risks and aircraft failures are autonomously identified, and once triggered, SafeAir carries out a series of safety measures with unparalleled speed:

• Quickest Parachute Deployment – Thanks to our patented guard solution, the parachute is activated and opened to full canopy in a fraction of a second
• Autonomous Flight Termination System (FTS) – The SafeAir TM system cuts power to the motors to deny injury and damage to the parachute cords
• Flight Computer – Our system monitors the flight constantly and detects any abnormalities that can lead to a crash
• Safety Buzzer – An audio warning buzzer alerts bystanders on the ground about incoming danger, providing them with the time to move out of harm’s way
• Post-Deployment Analysis – By importing the flight logs into our app, you can reverse engineer the cause of the parachute deployment and debrief your flight

SafeAir parachute solutions are available for a variety of DJI drone platforms.

DropAir

Parachute airdrop system for secure drone delivery

DropAir is a revolutionary precision airdrop solution designed to enable secure and rapid drone-based logistical support in hazardous and challenging environments. Ideal for military and emergency response applications, it utilizes an autonomous parachute system to make the drop as close to the required landing zone as possible, ensuring minimal drift and reliable delivery.

The system can be integrated into a range of different drone platforms, and is highly suited to both autonomous and remotely-piloted operations.

*A reproducibility test, AKA repeatability and reproducibility (R&R) test, is a method used to assess the performance of a product or measurement system by evaluating the consistency of measurements across different conditions. It helps determine if a measurement system can produce the same results when used repeatedly under varying conditions like different operators, instruments, or locations.
