TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Innoviz Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: INVZ) (the "Company", "we", or "Innoviz"), a leading supplier of high performance, automotive-grade LiDAR sensor platforms for the automotive, security, defense and industrial markets, today provided commercial and strategic updates on its business, reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and reiterated its financial and operational targets for 2026.
"In recent months Innoviz began its expansion into the defense and homeland security markets, which we believe have the potential to be a significant driver of long-term growth," said Omer Keilaf, CEO and Founder of Innoviz. "For the past decade, we developed and built our LiDARs to meet the toughest bar in the auto industry, meeting functional safety requirements and achieving automotive qualification. Now, our precise, robust, automotive-grade sensors are starting to be adopted in the defense and security markets across applications such as counter-UAS and perimeter protection. As governments around the world allocate billions of dollars to address new threats, our newly launched dedicated defense and security brand, Perciz, aims to meet today's urgent needs. In the past three months, we have added six collaborations spanning a variety of use cases, and systems with our sensors have already been deployed in several locations, serving as potentially life-saving defenses. We are in conversations with dozens of prospective customers, and on July 30, we received our first multimillion-dollar orders from a defense customer totaling approximately $3.5 million. We believe this early traction, combined with our execution experience in the automotive market, positions us to pursue what we see as a significant opportunity in defense. In addition, in the automotive space, our partnerships with VW, Mobileye, Daimler Truck, and others are on track, and we recently announced the development of a LiDAR-based perception stack with a top 10 global OEM. We believe the combination of the automotive market and the defense and security markets has the potential to create a flywheel effect, and over time may support stronger growth and improved financial performance as we work to become a premier worldwide supplier of best-in-class LiDAR solutions."
