Wrap Technologies, Inc. (WRAP) announced on Monday the opening of a new integrated headquarters in Florida for drone testing and non-lethal response (NLR) training.

Dual-Purpose Operational Platform

The facility will serve as an operational hub for counter-UAS (unmanned aerial system) validation, drone-based non-lethal deployment testing, instructor certification, and agency evaluation programs. The Florida site is designed to function as both a drone and counter-UAS test range and an in-person NLR training center.

“By combining integrated drone validation, counter-UAS testing, and certification-based officer training into a single operational platform, our goal is to accelerate adoption of lawful, proactive non-lethal capabilities across both ground and aerial domains.”

-Jared Novick, President, Wrap

Counter-UAS Testing And Validation

The center will conduct controlled programs for adversarial drone detection and mitigation, payload deployment validation, drone-to-drone and air-to-ground engagements, and autonomous human-in-the-loop response scenarios. 

These evaluations are designed to replicate real-world operational conditions at critical infrastructure sites, public venues, federal facilities, and defense environments, providing data to guide product development and agency procurement decisions.
