Innoviz Technologies Ltd. has emerged as a recurring player in the counter-UAS integrator ecosystem through its new defense and homeland security brand, Perciz. The company announced partnerships with six Israeli defense and homeland security integrators in the past three months, leveraging its automotive-grade LiDAR sensor platforms for security applications. The same LiDAR technology selected by BMW, Volkswagen, Mobileye, and Daimler Truck is now being utilized by leading Israeli counter-UAS integrators under the Perciz brand.

Strategic Partnerships

Innoviz has rapidly expanded its defense footprint through a series of collaborations. On July 1, the company partnered with Givon Defense to enhance precision localization for counter-UAS applications. On July 7, Perciz LiDAR data was integrated into Cogniteam's AI-based counter-UAS classification system. On July 8, AeroNous Solutions, part of Israel Shipyards Industries Group, built Perciz LiDAR into its open-architecture command-and-control platform for continuous threat tracking.

Earlier collaborations laid the groundwork for this expansion. In May, Kela Technologies added Innoviz LiDAR to its situational-awareness platform for border and perimeter security. In June, Drive Group, a consortium of six Israeli transportation and infrastructure firms, announced plans to integrate the LiDAR into its "Barak LightGuard" perimeter security system. Also in June, Regulus incorporated Innoviz LiDAR to track low-altitude threats, including fiber-optic-controlled drones, in cluttered urban environments.

Leadership and Strategic Direction

In connection with the launch of Perciz, Innoviz appointed Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Yoav Har-Even, former President and CEO of Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, to its Board of Directors. The move underscores the company's strategic extension into defense and homeland security markets. Omer Keilaf, Founder and CEO of Innoviz Technologies, emphasized the life-saving potential of the technology, stating that the company aims to be the "eyes of the defense ecosystem."

Perciz Brand and Capabilities

Perciz is Innoviz's dedicated brand for defense, homeland security, and critical infrastructure applications. The brand utilizes Innoviz's existing LiDAR solutions to provide operators with enhanced perception and precision in detecting threats. The technology is designed to address the increasing complexity of modern threats, including unmanned robotic platforms and low-signature drones. Innoviz's sensors deliver high range, resolution, and reliability, even in harsh weather conditions, meeting automotive industry standards for performance and safety.

Innoviz Technologies Ltd. has announced a collaboration with AeroNous Solutions Ltd. to integrate its LiDAR technology into AeroNous's open-architecture command-and-control platform for counter-unmanned aerial system (UAS) operations. The partnership aims to enhance the platform's ability to detect, track, and respond to aerial threats by leveraging Innoviz's high-performance, automotive-grade LiDAR sensor platforms.

AeroNous builds systems that unify sensors, effectors, and third-party data sources into a single operational picture. The company identified continuous, precise drone localization as a critical capability for this operational picture. After evaluating available sensing technologies, AeroNous selected Innoviz's existing LiDAR products as the solution best suited to address this requirement.

The integration of Innoviz's LiDAR technology is expected to improve the accuracy and reliability of drone detection and tracking within AeroNous's platform. This collaboration highlights the growing demand for advanced sensing solutions in counter-UAS applications.

Key Details of the Partnership

Innoviz Technologies Ltd. is a leading supplier of LiDAR sensor platforms, while AeroNous Solutions Ltd. specializes in systems that unify sensors and data sources for aerial threat response. The collaboration underscores the importance of precise localization in modern counter-UAS strategies.
