About ZIZ
ZIZ will operate as an Israeli-American AI defense company offering a wide variety of military hardware and software. Most legacy military companies integrate AI as an afterthought. We put AI first. The F-35, for example, has less compute than the iPhone 16. AI, robotics, and autonomous systems are poised to change the very nature of warfare.
Silver Bullet, our first product at ZIZ is a counter UAV system with an AI backed Command and Control (C2) software that fuses acoustic detection with LiDAR to detect and neutralize group 1 and 2 sUAS threats in their area of operations. Silver Bullet includes AI detection, targeting, and low cost neutralization at a range of up to 700 meters.
As of 2023, the global C-UAS market was valued at $1-2 Billion with growth projections of 20 – 30% over the remaining decade to $5-10 Billion by 2032. China currently commands 80% of the world’s drone manufacturing capacity. If China invades Taiwan, it would do so primarily through the usage of hundreds of thousands of autonomous weaponized UAVs. Taiwan needs to develop defensive capabilities to defend against this threat to prevent a war.
