InnovizSMART Security System Deployed at Critical Infrastructure Sites in Israel

13 February, 2026

First operational installations completed over the past three months; company publishes performance and detection-range data in a move aimed at diversifying revenue streams

Israeli LiDAR developer Innoviz announced today, for the first time, that its security solution InnovizSMART has been operationally deployed across several critical-infrastructure sites in Israel. The disclosure marks the product’s first confirmed real-world installations. The system is designed to protect sensitive facilities using 3D LiDAR sensing combined with AI-based analytics. The company recently also reported ramping up mass production of the new platform.

According to Innoviz, the installations were carried out over the past three months and the system is now used to detect, classify and track potential threats around secured facilities. For Innoviz — best known for automotive LiDAR sensors — the move represents a major milestone in entering a new market: infrastructure and security protection.

Alongside the deployment announcement, the company released detailed technical performance data for the first time. InnovizSMART can detect and classify objects at ranges exceeding 450 meters while scanning more than one million data points per second to generate an accurate 3D situational picture.

The system relies on a LiDAR sensor that creates a virtual perimeter fence around a protected site. When suspicious movement is detected within predefined zones, it can automatically activate surveillance cameras for visual verification and distinguish in real time between different target types — humans, vehicles or animals. The company highlights its ability to detect movement even behind physical obstacles such as trees and bushes, as well as operate in challenging weather conditions.

The platform integrates with existing enterprise security systems, including video-management and access-control platforms, and can track multiple targets simultaneously — a key requirement in complex security environments.

InnovizSMART originated as an adaptation of the company’s core automotive technology to the security sector. Over the past year Innoviz has actively promoted the product as part of a broader strategy to expand beyond the automotive market, which is characterized by long sales cycles and heavy dependence on major car manufacturers.

The company views InnovizSMART as a strategic growth engine with commercial potential across infrastructure protection, smart-city and intelligent-transportation markets. Unlike automotive deals, security projects typically move faster and generate revenue on shorter timelines.

As a result, the current operational deployment in Israel carries significance beyond the technological aspect: it serves as the product’s first commercial proof-point and signals a shift from announcements and pilot programs to real installations at paying customers.

The global infrastructure-security market is considered one of the faster-growing segments in the defense industry, with rising demand for advanced sensing capable of reliable detection in complex environments. Innoviz’s LiDAR technology competes with traditional solutions such as cameras and radar, offering higher accuracy and fewer false alerts.

Barak Light Guard security system unveiled

As part of its broader expansion into the defense and smart-perimeter-security markets, Innoviz also hosted an unveiling event this week at its headquarters for the Barak Light Guard system, developed jointly with Drive Group and Cogniteam. Senior representatives from the defense establishment and national infrastructure companies attended to evaluate the solution, which combines Innoviz LiDAR sensors with advanced AI algorithms.

Launched roughly six months ago, the system is designed to protect borders, communities and critical infrastructure, providing real-time alerts on intrusions and suspicious movement. It integrates Innoviz LiDAR with Cogniteam AI to identify and classify stationary and moving objects at distances of up to approximately 400 meters, even under poor visibility and harsh weather conditions.
