In the expansive corn and soybean fields of the American Midwest, farmers have begun their first cycle of herbicide spraying of the season, which will continue on just until the first days of July.  While some of those farmers will still be using the wasteful process of broadcast spraying of pesticides to stamp out weeds, several dozens of others have made the transition to the artificial intelligence and deep learning technology of the Israeli-developed Greeneye Technology precision spraying system, which allows them to use less herbicide by precisely targeting weeds.  Now in its th ..read more

Sports fans will know all too well that moment in a match when the action is too quick to catch, invariably leading to laments over their own lack of access to a video replay service enjoyed by the referees and umpires on the field.   Israeli startup Stadicom has developed an app that offers just that, allowing fans in the stands the opportunity to go back to those moments they might have missed, using industry standard Video Assistant Referee on their own devices and from multiple angles.  “One of the most important things in a stadium is not the ability to send SMS, it is the ..read more

Israeli AI car inspection platform UVeye was named a winner of the 2024 Automotive News PACE Award winner at a ceremony in Detroit on April 29. The prestigious annual awards, which have been running since the 1990s, are bestowed on technical innovations in the automotive industry that have been commercially produced. They are seen as a benchmark of quality in the industry. UVeye uses artificial intelligence, machine-learning, sensor-fusion and high-speed-camera systems to inspect vehicles. The company says it’s significantly more accurate than time-consuming manual inspections. The Tel Aviv-ba ..read more

In 1947, a Bedouin shepherd stumbled upon the first part of a treasure trove of 15,000 ancient Jewish texts, in a cave just a stone’s throw from the shores of the Dead Sea.  The 2,000-year-old texts – which later came to be known worldwide as the Dead Sea Scrolls – are a series of manuscripts written mainly in Hebrew and mainly on parchment, which shed light on contemporaneous Jewish life in the Holy Land.  And while some of the manuscripts are complete texts, there are thousands of fragments whose poor condition means that they cannot be deciphered.  But a new AI system develop ..read more

US chip giant Nvidia has purchased its second Israeli creator of artificial intelligence software within days, with the acquisition of Deci AI for an undisclosed sum.  The Ramat Gan-based startup’s deep-learning platform allows companies to use AI to build AI. Its generative AI models include the DeciCoder, a code generator that can understand, summarize, generate and predict new written content. Deci says that companies using its generative AI models can reduce their inference computing costs – or the ability of the AI to make predictions from novel data – by up to 80 percent, while also ..read more

Israeli military technology company Elbit Systems has been given a $50 million contract by an unnamed international client for its new air defense system Red Sky.  The Tactical Very Short-range Air Defense (VSHORAD) System protects against low-altitude aerial threats, using both soft-kill (diverting a missile from its target) and -kill (destroying a missile before it reaches its target) capabilities.  As part of the two-year contract, Elbit will provide its Redrone system, an electronic warfare (EW) solution that includes radar, sensors and jammers, as well as anti-aircraft missile l ..read more

Imagine a lab being able to grow tissue from your own body to replace bone lost through damage or illness, and within a matter of weeks be able to fill the gap so well that once it was healed you would never know it had been there.   Israeli medtech company Bonus Biogroup says it has created a way of doing just that – and aims to bring its tissue regeneration innovation to the market in the next couple of years.   The company works in the fields of cell therapy and tissue engineering, growing live human tissue in vitro (outside of the body) “in systems that mimic our body ..read more

An Israeli company specializing in counter-drone measures has been included in the UK National Protective Security Authority Catalogue of Security Equipment (NPSA CSE) Tel Aviv-based Sentrycs says its Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) solution was included following a rigorous assessment by the NPSA of its capabilities in Detection, Tracking, and Identification (DTI).  C-UAS is designed to identify and where necessary intercept unauthorized drones in a variety of environments, including airports borders and mass events.  The assessment was conducted by the NPSA in August 2023 a ..read more
