Innoviz Technologies Announces the Deployment of InnovizSMART in Critical Security Infrastructure Locations in Israel
Rhea-AI Summary
Innoviz Technologies (Nasdaq: INVZ) announced deployment of its off-the-shelf InnovizSMART LiDAR perimeter security system at multiple critical infrastructure locations in Israel over the past three months. InnovizSMART provides true 3D sensing beyond 450 meters, scans over 1 million points per second, and integrates with cameras, analytics and standard VMS for turnkey perimeter protection.
The system claims improved detection behind obstacles, reduced false alarms through classification of people, vehicles and animals, and resilience in adverse weather. A live demonstration is scheduled at Defense.tech expo in Tel Aviv on February 17–18, 2026.

Peers on Argus
INVZ was down 2.38% while key peers were mixed: SES -2.54%, SLDP -3.49%, MLR -0.81%, MPAA -0.09%, and HLLY slightly up 0.25%. Momentum scanners only flagged MNRO up 6.19% with no news, indicating INVZ’s move appeared more stock-specific than a coordinated sector reaction.
Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feb 04 | Earnings call scheduling | Neutral | -2.3% | Set date and time for Q4 and full-year 2025 earnings call. |
| Jan 27 | Product availability | Positive | +1.0% | Announced InnovizSMART general availability with short lead times and ramping production. |
| Jan 20 | Shareholder letter | Positive | -2.8% | CEO detailed 2025 execution, CES 2026 traction, and raised revenue guidance. |
| Jan 07 | AI partnership | Positive | -5.1% | Partnered with Vueron to integrate Innoviz LiDAR into VueX AI platform. |
| Jan 06 | Product launch | Positive | -4.1% | Introduced InnovizSMARTer LiDAR plus edge compute solution for smart infrastructure. |
Recent positive product and commercial updates often saw negative next-day moves, suggesting a pattern of selling into good news.
Over the last few months, Innoviz has focused on commercializing its LiDAR portfolio and expanding smart‑infrastructure use cases. Product launches like InnovizSMARTer and broader availability of InnovizSMART highlighted longer‑range detection and edge compute capabilities. A CEO letter outlined strong 2025 traction and revenue guidance of $50–60 million, while recurring 6-K filings kept financials current. Despite these seemingly constructive updates, several prior news events saw negative 24‑hour price reactions, framing today’s deployment announcement within a trend of cautious market reception.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement details real‑world deployment of InnovizSMART across critical infrastructure sites in Israel over the last three months, highlighting long‑range detection beyond 450 meters and over 1 million points per second scanning. It reinforces Innoviz’s push into security and smart‑infrastructure markets, following earlier product launches and AI partnerships. Investors may track how these deployments translate into recurring contracts, as well as feedback from the planned Defense.tech expo demonstration on February 17–18, 2026 and upcoming financial updates.

Innoviz's off-the-shelf high-resolution Physical AI 3D LiDAR, InnovizSMART, partnered with a 3D AI analytics dashboard offers a validated, end-to-end perimeter security solution for protecting critical infrastructure and municipal areas
InnovizSMART addresses the limitations of conventional security technologies by providing true 3D sensing with accurate distance measurements at ranges of more than 450 meters. Unlike radar and camera systems, the LiDAR-based solution can detect movement behind obstacles such as trees and foliage, maintains performance in harsh weather conditions including wind, rain, and bright sunlight, and delivers reliable detection of slow-moving or camouflaged targets. The system scans over 1 million points per second, creating a high-resolution 3D map of the protected area that enables precise object detection and classification.
When integrated with a camera and analytics software, once the LiDAR system detects movement within a defined virtual perimeter, it triggers the camera to zoom in on the target for visual confirmation and classification. The system can track multiple targets simultaneously and distinguish between humans, vehicles, and animals, allowing security operators to define scenario-specific responses and dramatically reduce false alarms. Integration with standard VMS and control systems ensures compatibility with existing security infrastructure.
"With the rise of physical AI, industries everywhere are rethinking how systems sense and respond to the physical world," said Omer Keilaf, CEO and Founder of Innoviz. "With InnovizSMART now deployed across several sites in critical infrastructure locations in
InnovizSMART is designed for a wide range of applications including protection of critical infrastructure sites, municipal facilities, public spaces, and industrial complexes. The solution is available as an off-the-shelf product and integrates seamlessly with leading analytics software providers and infrastructure integrators to deliver complete, turnkey security systems tailored to customer and site requirements.
InnovizSMART will be demonstrated at Defense.tech expo for homeland security, taking place in Tel Aviv Expo between February 17-18, 2026.
