Tel Aviv-based defense AI firm Axon Vision has announced its first major order for the license-based configuration of the EdgeUAV system, marking a significant milestone in the company’s expansion into the unmanned aerial systems market. The contract, valued at approximately NIS 2 million ($614,049.00), was signed with a prominent manufacturer of loitering munitions – also known as suicide drones.
According to a release by the company, the order follows a successful system integration process and will be delivered as software licenses for each platform. The contract will be fulfilled through phased deliveries of software licenses and is scheduled for completion by January 2026.
Advanced capabilities
The EdgeUAV system, developed by Axon Vision, is an advanced AI-powered solution designed to enhance the operational capabilities of unmanned platforms, including drones, UAVs, and loitering munitions. It enables full mission execution from initial target acquisition through selective tracking to precision target engagement.
The system’s core features include real-time video processing, automatic target recognition (ATR), static and dynamic object tracking, multi-object tracking, and semantic segmentation of the environment. These capabilities are supported across multiple spectral bands, allowing for effective day and night operations.
The modular architecture of the EdgeUAV system ensures seamless integration with existing sensors and platforms, offering next-generation performance without requiring hardware overhauls. The system’s user-friendly interface is also cited as a key enabler for large-scale deployment, particularly in high-tempo operational environments.
The system allows full multi-spectral support, enabling day and night operation, and features a real-time AI video processing engine that provides automatic target recognition (ATR), static and dynamic object tracking, multi-object tracking, and environment semantic segmentation.
Key battlefield platforms
“Loitering munitions are playing an increasingly central role on the modern battlefield,” said Brig.-Gen. (res.) Roy Riftin, CEO of Axon Vision, emphasizing the strategic importance of the deal.
“Integrating AI into these systems is a game-changer – enabling faster, more precise, and more autonomous operations across diverse scenarios. This order underscores the maturity of our technology and the trust our partners place in its operational value.”
The integration of EdgeUAV into precision-guided munitions is expected to significantly reduce sensor-to-shooter cycles, optimize sensor usage, and enable new operational concepts such as swarm tactics and collaborative multi-platform missions.
These advancements align with broader trends in defense technology, where AI is increasingly leveraged to enhance autonomy, survivability, and mission effectiveness.
Founded in 2017 by veterans of elite IDF technology units Ido Rozenberg, Raz Roditti, and Michael Zolotov, Axon Vision has established itself as a key player in the defense AI sector.
Its solutions are currently deployed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and other military organizations worldwide. The company has collaborated with Israel’s Defense Ministry, Elbit Systems, and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI).
Axon Vision recently completed a successful IPO on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, raising approximately $26 million to support product development and international expansion.
