[IsraelTimes] UAE-based advanced defense technology group EDGE will invest $10 million to buy a 30% stake in Israel’s Thirdeye Systems, a developer of AI-based electro-optical systems to detect drone threats.The deal is subject to approval by Israel’s Defense Ministry. The Netanya-based defense tech startup says that Abu Dhabi’s EDGE group has also committed to investing $12 million to create a joint venture with Thirdeye that will be tasked with development and sales of electro-optical object recognition systems to new global regions and markets. Founded in 2010 by CEO Lior Segal, Yoel Motola and Gil Barak, Thirdeye develops fully automated electro-optical scanning systems to detect fast-evolving threats on the battlefield, including UAVs and enemy drones.
