TEL AVIV, Israel, July 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Innoviz Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: INVZ) (the "Company" or "Innoviz"), a leading supplier of high-performance, automotive-grade LiDAR sensor platforms, today announced a partnership with Cogniteam Ltd., a leading provider of AI-powered perception and autonomy software platforms, in connection with advanced Counter-UAS (C-UAS) perception module. The integration between Innoviz's LiDAR solutions and Cogniteam's perception module is designed to enable system integrators and security solution providers to rapidly deploy highly accurate drone detection, localization, tracking, and classification systems.
The new Counter-UAS module builds upon Cogniteam's operational experience accumulated over more than a year of successful deployments of its ClearZone platform together with Innoviz LIDARs, in perimeter protection, critical infrastructure security, and border surveillance applications. These deployments have demonstrated the unique advantages of high-resolution 3D LiDAR perception in demanding environments where accuracy, reliability, and low false alarm rates are essential.
Cogniteam has developed a unique AI-driven 3D analytics engine aimed at addressing this challenge by leveraging the rich spatial and temporal information provided by Innoviz precise three-dimensional sensing technology. By combining advanced machine learning algorithms with object analysis enabled by Innoviz LiDAR, Cogniteam's solution is designed to deliver highly accurate drone detection and classification capabilities while significantly reducing false alarms. The system analyzes object morphology, motion characteristics, flight behavior, and 3D signatures to provide reliable discrimination between drones, birds, and other airborne objects, enabling operators to respond confidently to genuine threats.
"We are the eyes of the defense ecosystem. Our LiDAR gives defense organizations the exact 3D position of a threat, so the systems they already own act with far higher confidence. This is proven automotive technology aimed at the most urgent security problem of our time," said Omer Keilaf, Founder & CEO of Innoviz.
"Effective drone defense requires not only detecting flying objects, but accurately understanding what they are," said Dr. Yehuda Elmaliah, CEO and Co-Founder of Cogniteam. "Our advanced analytics, combined with Innoviz's LiDAR, deliver a level of detection accuracy and classification reliability that is difficult to achieve with conventional sensing."
