SpiderNet™ – The world’s first passive C-UAS protection system

With a heritage of designing safety systems for aircraft, vehicles, and personal fall protection, SpiderNet leverages decades of materials engineering expertise. It embodies reliability, scalability, and kinetic absorption, making it your 24/7 guardian against modern airborne threats.

Founded in 1977, Frictape has built a legacy rooted in advanced aviation engineering and high-performance safety solutions. In our early decades, we specialized in parachutes, arrestor nets for fighter aircraft and cars, and custom engineering projects, for example design and and manufacture of first-ever cargo nets for Airbus and car arrestor nets for US Armed Forces.

With decades of experience in controlling high-speed, high-mass kinetic forces, transitioning into the protection of critical infrastructure against drone and UAV threats is a natural evolution for us. SpiderNet represents the next chapter in our journey: merging our heritage of innovation with the urgent needs of modern defense.
