SpiderNet is the world’s first passive protection solution designed to safeguard high-value assets against hostile drones and UAV attacks. Built on our patented safety netting technology with over four decades of proven use in aviation, defence, and offshore operations, SpiderNet acts as the last line of defence, physically stopping and containing the attacking UAS, when active countermeasures have failed to remove the threat.
While typical C-UAS solutions rely on detection, jamming or destruction, SpiderNet stops threats without lifting a finger. Once installed, it silently guards your assets—ready to stop incoming UAVs and drones with no activation or operator intervention needed. It is a “set and forget” defense system, always alert and effective.
SpiderNet can absorb extreme kinetic energy, stopping Group 3 and Group 4 UAVs from hitting their target —and with special configurations, Group 5 threats as well. That means stopping drones like the Shahed 136, which can weigh hundreds of kilos and strike at speeds of several hundred kilometers per hour.
SpiderNet panels are lightweight for easy transport and can be detached and redeployed wherever needed. This makes it ideal for temporary installations or evolving security demands. Once a threat zone changes, SpiderNet moves with you—without leaving infrastructure behind.
SpiderNet is made of modular textile panels that scale to your needs—whether you’re shielding a single vehicle or an entire installation. Flexible configurations allow for protective domes or walls of various sizes, shapes, and strengths. From mobile field assets to fixed critical infrastructure, SpiderNet adapts to your mission.

Range of different design options to give you the stopping power you need. Combination of active and passive C-UAS solutions gives you the best possible protection against unmanned airborne threats

SpiderNet’s engineered textile panels are modular by design, enabling protection to conform seamlessly around structures of any geometry. Whether you’re dealing with curved, angular, or asymmetric forms, the netting system adapts to the contours, ensuring full coverage and maximum defense without compromise
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.
