Deo Arlo (Iron Dome Guy)

Founder of Arlo Industries, Track drones and missiles without radars - Accurate, Passive, Scalable

Company

Deo Arlo (Iron Dome Guy) is listed as a founder of Arlo Industries. Arlo Industries is building a network of sensors that precisely tracks stealthy drones and aerial threats better than radars. This capability does not exist yet because traditional radars are built on past war doctrines designed to protect single, centralised assets. Modern warfare, however, demands wide-area, persistent coverage that is both passive and economically scalable. By utilising a mesh architecture, Arlo Industries unlocks unprecedented asymmetric economics. The network is fundamentally built to scale: the cost of adding sensors grows linearly, but the tracking accuracy increases exponentially, delivering highly resilient, persistent coverage for a fraction of the cost of legacy systems. Deo founded Arlo Industries after spending over 6 years in the Israeli defence ecosystem, where he lived through multiple conflicts and experienced the Iron Dome and other systems in action against ICBMs and the infamous Shahed drones. Learning exactly how these defence systems could be improved after a Shahed exploded close to his apartment, he built Arlo Industries around the core philosophy that conflict should be concise & precise. The people behind Arlo1 includes a PhD in drones and autonomy and military experts. Arlo Industries has actively showcased this technology directly to Ukrainian militaries on the frontlines, as well as to operators across Europe and the USA.

    I recorded this from my apartment in Tel Aviv These are missiles, but with the proliferation of drones, this problem is coming everywhere in the world! Where drones exist, aerial threat exists. @ArloIndustries is solving this problem starting with decentralised sensing. Show more

    When I watch this video, I feel again that burning fire of ambition we all share during our own demoday last year at @shipfr8 cohort 1.0. Crazy to see how far they have come, DeepTech Hogwarts IRL! https://t.co/DZMLJojYLS
