Innoviz Launches Perciz, a Defense and Homeland Security Brand Built to See Through the Complexity of Modern Threats

As threats evolve with increasing speed and sophistication, Perciz will focus on applying Innoviz's commercially available LiDAR sensors to help defense and homeland security organizations detect, understand, and respond to increasingly complex operational challenges

TEL AVIV, Israel, July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Innoviz Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:INVZ) (the" Company" or "Innoviz"), a leading provider of high-performance automotive-grade LiDAR and perception solutions, today announced the launch of Perciz, a dedicated brand focused on defense and homeland security applications. Utilizing the company's commercially available LiDAR sensors, already deployed in non-automotive applications, the new brand marks a strategic expansion of Innoviz's mission, bringing the company's expertise in advanced sensing, AI, and machine intelligence to address the growing challenges facing modern security and defense organizations.

The introduction of Perciz comes at a time when the threat landscape is undergoing a profound transformation. Autonomous systems, unmanned robotic platforms, low-signature drone threats, and increasingly sophisticated asymmetric tactics are reshaping security requirements across defense, homeland security, and critical infrastructure environments. As threats become faster, smarter, and harder to detect, traditional sensing and security architectures seem to be struggling to keep pace.

Perciz was established to rewrite this equation. By leveraging advances in Physical AI, Perciz aims to enable intelligent systems to perceive, understand, and act within the physical world, and power a new generation of defense and security solutions, capable of delivering the required enhanced situational awareness, faster decision-making, and greater operational effectiveness.

"Defense and homeland security organizations are confronting a rapidly evolving environment where threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, autonomous, and unpredictable," said Omer Keilaf, Founder and CEO of Innoviz. "Perciz was created to help address these challenges by advancing Physical AI technologies that transform how intelligent systems perceive and understand the world around them. Our goal is to provide our centimeter-level 3D positioning to enable security solutions that can operate with greater awareness, precision, and confidence in the most demanding environments."

Perciz will focus on delivering Innoviz's existing LiDAR sensors for a broad range of defense and homeland security applications (HLS), including perimeter security, critical infrastructure security, counter-unmanned systems, force protection, autonomous operations, border security, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions.

Under the Perciz brand, Innoviz leverages the production-ready, automotive-grade LiDAR platform selected by BMW, Volkswagen, Mobileye and Daimler Truck to address a problem the defense and HLS markets have struggled to solve: real-time, continuous precision localization of close-in threats that enables cost-effective response solutions across counter-UAS, perimeter security, critical-infrastructure, and homeland-security applications.

"The future of defense is increasingly defined by intelligent systems that can interpret and respond to their environment in real time," added Keilaf. "Success will depend not only on collecting data, but on providing accurate data that will enhance operational performance. Perciz is focused on helping accelerate that."

Perciz will operate as Innoviz's dedicated defense and homeland security brand, offering LiDAR solutions to government agencies, defense contractors, system integrators, and security technology partners, to meet the evolving demands of defense and homeland security applications.
