Innoviz Technologies Ltd., an Israeli company founded in 2016 and based in Rosh HaAyin, specializes in the development and production of cutting-edge solid-state LiDAR sensors, alongside innovative perception software. Their core mission is to accelerate the widespread commercialization of autonomous vehicles. The company's product portfolio includes InnovizOne, an automotive-grade, solid-state LiDAR sensor engineered for high-volume manufacturing. This sensor is specifically tailored for automakers, robotaxi fleets, shuttle services, and logistics companies, providing an essential component for achieving Level 3 through 5 autonomous capabilities while ensuring the safety of passengers and pedestrians. Innoviz also offers InnovizTwo, another automotive-grade LiDAR sensor designed to support all levels of autonomous driving, with the added flexibility of integrating perception software directly within the sensor. For versatile environmental sensing, Innoviz360 provides a 360-degree LiDAR solution applicable in both automotive and various non-automotive contexts. Furthermore, Innoviz supplies a sophisticated perception application, a software solution that transforms raw point cloud data from the InnovizOne LiDAR into actionable perception outputs, offering detailed scene understanding and delivering an automotive-grade ASIL B(D) compliant system. The company's operational footprint spans multiple continents, encompassing Europe, the Asia Pacific region, the Middle East, Africa, and North America.
Israel Defense Forces, Through the Ministry of Defense's Directorate of Defense, Research and Development (MAFAT) Recognizes Innoviz Technologies' LiDAR Capabilities as Suitable for Defense Applications
Israel Ministry of Defense's R&D directorate, MAFAT, formally recognized Innoviz's production LiDAR as suitable for defense applications, citing the technology's maturity, robustness, scalability, and performance.
Innoviz sees potential deployments in counter-UAS, perimeter security, and critical-infrastructure protection, and believes the endorsement could support demand among Western defense customers; it is already delivering LiDAR following recently announced multi-million orders from a defense customer.
The recognition is explicitly preliminary — MAFAT's letter is not a procurement decision, contractual commitment, or funding commitment, so no near-term revenue is attached.
