Jerusalem, 26 november, 2025 (TPS-IL) — Israeli defense tech firm Elsight has been selected by the U.S. Defense Innovation Unit to advance in Project G.I., a Pentagon program enhancing drone capabilities for small combat units in communication-denied zones.
Headquartered in Or Yehuda, Elsight joins five U.S. and international companies in the next evaluation phase, where their systems will be tested for battlefield effectiveness.
