Maris-Tech Ltd. just scored a US pilot deal to plug artificial intelligence (AI)-powered situational awareness into an Infantry Fighting Vehicle, part of a broader push to modernize America’s armored fleet.
Integrations include the Israeli company’s flagship Diamond Ultra AI platform alongside the Peridot Night panoramic day and thermal imaging system.
Together, they deliver a single, 360-degree live feed directly on the vehicle, processed onboard for immediate battlefield awareness.
The result: crews gain a clear, real-time view of their surroundings — from ground threats to low-flying aerial risks — without any major modifications to the vehicle’s structure.
The US military’s current infantry fighting vehicle lineup includes the M2 Bradley, variants of the Stryker, and the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle or AMPV.
Built for ‘Broader Adoption’
Maris Tech’s Diamond Ultra can handle up to 11 cameras at once while sending real-time visual and audio threat alerts.
It can detect enemy combatants up to 100 meters (328 feet) and supports persistent tracking of airborne threats.
The system also records missions for after-action review and AI training. Its modular build means it can slot into existing or future platforms with minimal overhaul.
Meanwhile, Peridot Night uses four networked cameras to create a seamless, wide-angle view, feeding raw video via Ethernet for analytics and AI processing.
Multiple units can be stacked for full all-direction coverage.
“We believe that this pilot highlights the growing opportunity in vehicle modernization programs,” said Israel Bar, CEO at Maris-Tech.
“Our solutions are designed specifically to upgrade existing platforms with advanced situational awareness capabilities. Our solutions have been deployed in operational environments, and we believe that they have potential for broader adoption as armed forces modernize their vehicle fleets.”
