Innoviz Technologies, a leading provider of automotive-grade LiDAR, announced on July 14, 2026, the launch of a new division called Perciz. This division is dedicated to adapting the company's LiDAR technology for defense and homeland security applications, including counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) and critical infrastructure protection.
Perciz will leverage Innoviz's automotive-grade LiDAR sensors, which are known for their high resolution and reliability, to provide real-time threat detection and response capabilities. The division aims to address growing security needs in both military and civilian sectors.
According to Innoviz, the move into defense markets is a natural extension of their technology, which offers precise 3D sensing that can detect small drones and other threats. The company has not disclosed specific contracts or customers at this time.
