Air Force Vets Unveil Drone Defense Game-Changer!

Hi, I'm Amy Shapiro, journalist at Hi, I'm Amy Shapiro, journalist at ZTECH. We're here today at the Defense ZTECH. We're here today at the Defense ZTECH. We're here today at the Defense Tech Expo 2026 in Tel Aviv. I joined by Tech Expo 2026 in Tel Aviv. I joined by Tech Expo 2026 in Tel Aviv. I joined by Eai, the CEO of Insignito. Thank you so Eai, the CEO of Insignito. Thank you so Eai, the CEO of Insignito. Thank you so much for joining us today. much for joining us today. much for joining us today. >> Sure. >> Sure. >> Sure. >> I would love it if you could talk us >> I would love it if you could talk us >> I would love it if you could talk us through uh your interesting technology through uh your interesting technology through uh your interesting technology here.

here. here. >> Yeah, 100%. This is an acoustic sensor >> Yeah, 100%. This is an acoustic sensor >> Yeah, 100%. This is an acoustic sensor for drone detection. Uh today, one of for drone detection. Uh today, one of for drone detection. Uh today, one of the biggest problems in uh in the drone the biggest problems in uh in the drone the biggest problems in uh in the drone detection world is that low cost problem detection world is that low cost problem detection world is that low cost problem demands a low cost solution. So you have demands a low cost solution. So you have demands a low cost solution. So you have drones that cost hundreds of dollars and drones that cost hundreds of dollars and drones that cost hundreds of dollars and they're able to destroy bases that cost they're able to destroy bases that cost they're able to destroy bases that cost $7 billion and the defense uh mechanism $7 billion and the defense uh mechanism $7 billion and the defense uh mechanism that you can put all cost hundreds of that you can put all cost hundreds of that you can put all cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. So it doesn't work thousands of dollars. So it doesn't work thousands of dollars. So it doesn't work up and people are looking for solutions up and people are looking for solutions up and people are looking for solutions that can be cost effective. So we built

that can be cost effective. So we built that can be cost effective. So we built an acoustic sensor it uh uh uses you an acoustic sensor it uh uh uses you an acoustic sensor it uh uh uses you know for a drone it has low signature if know for a drone it has low signature if know for a drone it has low signature if you look at a radar if you look at it you look at a radar if you look at it you look at a radar if you look at it with the RF sensor with the camera you with the RF sensor with the camera you with the RF sensor with the camera you know it doesn't get heated up. So low

know it doesn't get heated up. So low know it doesn't get heated up. So low signature. The only place where the signature. The only place where the signature. The only place where the signature is very high is its noise. signature is very high is its noise. signature is very high is its noise. It's very very noisy. So we exploit it. It's very very noisy. So we exploit it. It's very very noisy. So we exploit it. We have 50 microphones in here uh that We have 50 microphones in here uh that We have 50 microphones in here uh that are scattered and we can create a direct are scattered and we can create a direct are scattered and we can create a direct direct direction of arrival to the drone direct direction of arrival to the drone direct direction of arrival to the drone and uh we can detect it from very far and uh we can detect it from very far and uh we can detect it from very far away from a cost that is sometimes 10 away from a cost that is sometimes 10 away from a cost that is sometimes 10 times 20 times uh better than other.

times 20 times uh better than other. times 20 times uh better than other. >> And what was the kind of I guess insight >> And what was the kind of I guess insight >> And what was the kind of I guess insight the the moment that you realized that the the moment that you realized that the the moment that you realized that this product was necessary uh in the this product was necessary uh in the this product was necessary uh in the market? you know we were uh we are market? you know we were uh we are market? you know we were uh we are experts of drone acoustics uh when we've experts of drone acoustics uh when we've experts of drone acoustics uh when we've been the experts for many years in been the experts for many years in been the experts for many years in Israel and after October 7th we asked Israel and after October 7th we asked Israel and after October 7th we asked ourselves how come you know there are so ourselves how come you know there are so ourselves how come you know there are so many systems you can deploy how come no many systems you can deploy how come no many systems you can deploy how come no one uh has deployed them and uh we find

one uh has deployed them and uh we find one uh has deployed them and uh we find out that people say you know it's so out that people say you know it's so out that people say you know it's so expensive I will not defend a quarter of expensive I will not defend a quarter of expensive I will not defend a quarter of the border because everybody will go the border because everybody will go the border because everybody will go from the other side I want to defend from the other side I want to defend from the other side I want to defend only one base because everybody will only one base because everybody will only one base because everybody will attack the other base so they end up attack the other base so they end up attack the other base so they end up defending nothing and then we understood

defending nothing and then we understood defending nothing and then we understood well we can use our experience uh with well we can use our experience uh with well we can use our experience uh with acoustics to create a solution. So we acoustics to create a solution. So we acoustics to create a solution. So we teamed up uh here with uh strategic uh teamed up uh here with uh strategic uh teamed up uh here with uh strategic uh partners and uh we are delivering this partners and uh we are delivering this partners and uh we are delivering this solution to the to Israel and the world solution to the to Israel and the world solution to the to Israel and the world >> and and for you what is the I guess the >> and and for you what is the I guess the >> and and for you what is the I guess the difference about developing uh a defense difference about developing uh a defense difference about developing uh a defense tech uh technology in Israel versus tech uh technology in Israel versus tech uh technology in Israel versus somewhere else in the world. The benefit

somewhere else in the world. The benefit somewhere else in the world. The benefit of doing stuff in Israel for us is first of doing stuff in Israel for us is first of doing stuff in Israel for us is first of all, you know, we have a very of all, you know, we have a very of all, you know, we have a very connection to what we do because uh uh connection to what we do because uh uh connection to what we do because uh uh we want to prevent the next 7th of we want to prevent the next 7th of we want to prevent the next 7th of October. We want to prevent uh want to October. We want to prevent uh want to October. We want to prevent uh want to defend uh you know, our family and our defend uh you know, our family and our defend uh you know, our family and our friends. Uh but uh on top of that, it's friends. Uh but uh on top of that, it's friends. Uh but uh on top of that, it's uh something that you uh you are able to uh something that you uh you are able to uh something that you uh you are able to create. You know, some people they do create. You know, some people they do create. You know, some people they do R&D and they do but they never connect R&D and they do but they never connect R&D and they do but they never connect to the field. We are field proven. You to the field. We are field proven. You to the field. We are field proven. You know, we've been working, we all came know, we've been working, we all came know, we've been working, we all came from the Air Force when we've done these from the Air Force when we've done these from the Air Force when we've done these things for many years and we developed a things for many years and we developed a things for many years and we developed a field proven acoustic solutions. So for field proven acoustic solutions. So for field proven acoustic solutions. So for us to uh to do it, you always have the us to uh to do it, you always have the us to uh to do it, you always have the interaction with the field that enables interaction with the field that enables interaction with the field that enables you to create something that's very you to create something that's very you to create something that's very relevant to what the actual need of the relevant to what the actual need of the relevant to what the actual need of the of the defense. of the defense. of the defense. >> Fantastic. Well, thank you so much for >> Fantastic. Well, thank you so much for >> Fantastic. Well, thank you so much for your time and looking forward to seeing your time and looking forward to seeing your time and looking forward to seeing what's next from you and and from the what's next from you and and from the what's next from you and and from the team out at Signito. team out at Signito. team out at Signito. >> Thank you very much.
