Givon Defense & Innoviz Collaborate to Enhance Precision Localization for Counter-Drone Systems

Givon Defense and Innoviz Technologies have partnered to explore new approaches for improving situational awareness and increasing the reliability of counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) operations.

The collaboration combines the expertise of Givon Defense, a next-generation decentralized national security platform, with the advanced capabilities of Innoviz, a leading supplier of high-performance, automotive-grade LiDAR sensor platforms. Together, the companies aim to address one of the primary challenges in modern drone defense: continuously determining the precise location of low-altitude aerial threats in real time.

As part of its ongoing technology assessment activities, Givon Defense has been evaluating multiple sensing approaches to counter these evolving threats. 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.

Omer Keilaf, Founder & CEO of Innoviz, said, “Precision localization is a critical component in addressing the evolving challenges of counter-UAS systems. 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.”
