Innoviz Technologies, a leading supplier of high-performance, automotive-grade LiDAR sensor platforms, announced a collaboration to integrate Innoviz’s LiDAR technology into AeroNous Solutions Ltd.’s open-architecture command-and-control platform for counter-UAS operations. AeroNous builds systems that unify sensors, effectors, and third-party data sources into a single operational picture for detecting, tracking, and responding to aerial threats, and the company identified continuous, precise drone localization as a critical capability for that picture. Following an evaluation of available sensing technologies, AeroNous selected Innoviz’s existing LiDAR products as the solution best suited to close that gap.
By integrating Innoviz’s centimeter-level 3D localization into its command-and-control architecture, AeroNous will be able to provide operators with a continuous, high-confidence position on aerial threats, even as they move through cluttered or contested environments. As part of the Israel Shipyards Industries Group, AeroNous intends to extend this capability across defense, homeland security, critical infrastructure, and maritime security deployments.

“Accurate localization is a critical component of effective counter-UAS operations. As drone threats become increasingly sophisticated, operators require precise and reliable tracking capabilities to support timely and informed responses. Our collaboration with Innoviz reflects AeroNous’ commitment to evaluating and integrating the most effective technologies available to enhance operational performance and deliver greater value to our customers,” said Meir Ben-Shaya Founder & CEO of AeroNous. ”
“AeroNous’ command-and-control systems are only as effective as the position data feeding them,” said Omer Keilaf, Founder & CEO of Innoviz. “Our LiDAR gives operators a precise, continuously updated 3D coordinate on a threat, not an estimate. Bringing that into AeroNous‘ open-architecture platform strengthens the operational picture from detection through response.”
