TEL AVIV, Israel, July 1, 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 collaboration with Givon Defense, the next-generation decentralized national security platform. The collaboration combines Givon Defense’s expertise in counter-UAS systems with Innoviz’s advanced LiDAR capabilities to explore new approaches for improving situational awareness and increasing the reliability of counter-drone operations in complex environments.
As part of its ongoing technology assessment activities, Givon Defense has been evaluating multiple sensing approaches to address one of the key challenges in modern drone defense: continuously determining the precise location of low-altitude aerial threats in real time. Initial testing highlighted the potential of Innoviz’s existing LiDAR products to provide the highly accurate spatial information required to support faster and better-informed situational awareness to evolving aerial threats.
“Precision localization is a critical component in addressing the evolving challenges of counter-UAS systems,” said Omer Keilaf, Founder & CEO of Innoviz. “Our LiDAR products are designed to deliver the high-resolution spatial data needed to accurately track low-altitude aerial threats in real time. We believe this collaboration with Givon Defense highlights the value of advanced sensing in strengthening situational awareness and enabling more effective responses in complex operational environments.”
