Elbit Systems seeks UAV startups, mid-November

Deadline: November 10, 2019

Elbit’s Director of Research and Development and several of our Chief Engineers & Scientists will be in Cambridge mid-November for in-person meetings and welcome discussions at other times with parties unable to meet that day.  There are no initial limits on the type or scale of collaboration or licensing that could potentially be entered into.

 

Recently, Elbit Systems of America has decided to make a new push into the small and medium sized UAV market.  We’re targeting particular areas that we believe are underserved and it is not our intention to be an airframe provider, but we will most certainly play a systems integrator role potentially “making” or “buying” all the various subsystems and payloads we will need. We are looking for technology partners in the following areas:

 

UAV Airframes

  • all (hand launched) to medium sized, especially tube (8”dia x 6’) launchable (collapsible).
  • Novel UAV Power Trains
  • Power Management
  • Novel Recovery Systems

 

Payloads

  • Electro Optics – stabilization systems, robust sensors, IR sensors.
  • Radar – conventional or higher frequency / mmW
  • RF detection & Situational awareness
  • Jamming

 

Radios / Datalinks

  • Flexible Radios
  • Mesh Networking
  • Interference Resistance Communications
  • Long Distance Optical Communication Systems


Control Systems 

  • Avionics
  • Autonomous Control Systems
 

In your response, please 

  • Explain concisely what you offer
  • Your match with the company above and their interest
  • Relevant usecases / customer stories 
  • Your availability for meeting, see above. 

 

Elbit Systems of America is a “Medium Sized” defense contractor serving the needs of all branches of the US Military as well as the Department of Homeland Security and other United States Government Customers.  Our position as a $1B/year company gives us a large existing customer base and the resources to invest in new and discriminating technologies while our relatively small size allows us to incorporate innovations into our products and bring new products to market with speed and agility that the larger defense contractors lack.

MIT Startup Exchange intros may eventually lead to mutual partnerships, but that is in not in any way guaranteed by MIT, MIT Corporate Relations, MIT Industrial Liaison Program (ILP) or MIT Startup Exchange. These entities take no responsibility for the outcome of such discussions and take no formal part in such discussions.
