IAI selects five start-ups for accelerated technology development
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) R&D and innovation managers have picked five start-up companies for accelerated development at its Innovation Center.
QuantLR, Aigent-tech, DST, Scopoli, and Fvmat were selected out of 90 original applicants, 17 of which were shortlisted.
The 13-week accelerator period, beginning on 1 November, will see IAI technology experts work with these five start-ups to co-create a minimum viable product.
QuantLR will work with IAI subsidiary Elta in a quantum sensing project. Scopoli and the IAI Systems, Missile and Space Group will co-develop a solution for tracking people and object in complex terrains. Aigent-tech will work with Elta on AI for land applications; DST will collaborate with the Aviation Group in the creation of a real-time monitoring system; and Fvmat will develop an aircraft landing gear with the help of the engineers in the IAI Aviation and Military Aircraft Group.

Orchestrating operational readiness across every defence domain
Are all systems ready for the next mission? Have upgrades been applied? Are all assets aligned to deploy together, on time and fully prepared? In modern defence operations, readiness is no longer measured platform by platform. It is measured by how well people, assets, data and decisions move together — across land, sea and air.
