What Airis Labs does

Airis Labs (legally AI RIS Labs Ltd.) is a privately held, venture-backed defense-technology company founded in 2023 in Tel Aviv, with co-founders Noam Friedman (CEO), Rotem Abeles (CPO), and Amos Lahav (GM US) — all former Israeli intelligence officers and Palantir alumni. The company sells a video-native AI platform that ingests unstructured video, audio, imagery, and metadata from sources including drones, bodycams, CCTV, smartphones, and social media, and converts them into structured, searchable intelligence for defense, intelligence, public-safety, and disaster-response customers in the United States and allied nations. The platform is organized around a layered architecture — Airis Inference Engines and the Airis Intelligence Fabric form the data-to-intelligence pipeline, while a modular Analyst Agent suite (Entity Resolution, Planning, Retrieval, Reporting) and the proprietary User-Generated Field Intelligence™ and SuperPerspective™ capabilities sit on top to automate analyst workflows. A vendor-reported 150x speedup versus standard video analysis is claimed but not externally benchmarked.

The platform is designed for sovereign and air-gapped deployment across multiple sensitivity levels (unclassified through highly classified), and is sold via a demo-driven, direct enterprise sales motion targeting U.S. and allied defense/intelligence agencies (named logos include U.S. SOCCENT, a Technological Intelligence Unit, and the Indiana National Guard). Revenue is generated through enterprise software licensing plus ongoing managed deployment and professional services for classified environments; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Commercial expansion is being accelerated by integration into Oracle's Defense Ecosystem, participation in a U.S. Army acceleration program, a reseller/partner recruitment motion, and FedRAMP authorization work funded out of the May 2026 Series B, alongside planned headcount growth from ~45 to ~90 by end of 2026 and scaling of the Washington, D.C. operations hub.

Revenue model

1. Enterprise software licensing & managed deployment to government/defense customers: Airis sells a self-hosted, customer-controlled platform (including air-gapped and sovereign-cloud deployments) to defense, intelligence, and public-safety agencies. Revenue is generated through enterprise licensing and ongoing managed-deployment / professional-services engagements supporting classified environments.
2. Enterprise software licensing: Sale of the Airis platform and its agent capabilities to defense and allied-government customers, with self-hosted/air-gapped deployment options supporting multiple sensitivity levels (unclassified, CUI, highly classified).

Core offering

Airis Labs sells a video-native AI platform that ingests unstructured video, audio, imagery, and metadata from drones, bodycams, CCTV, smartphones, and social media and converts it into structured, searchable intelligence for defense, intelligence, and public-safety agencies. The platform is delivered as a self-hosted or air-gapped enterprise deployment with sovereign-cloud options spanning unclassified, CUI, and highly classified environments. Its named capabilities include User-Generated Field Intelligence™ (UGFI), SuperPerspective™, Analyst Agents, the Airis Intelligence Fabric, and AI Inference Engines.

Product overview

Airis Labs offers a single unified AI platform (centered on its User-Generated Field Intelligence™ (UGFI) capability and the SuperPerspective™ unified intelligence layer) combined with a modular set of agentic components. The AI Inference Engines and Airis Intelligence Fabric form the core data-to-intelligence pipeline that converts unstructured visual and audio media into structured, searchable intelligence. Sitting on top of this foundation is a team of Analyst Agents — including Entity Resolution Agents, Planning Agents, Retrieval Agents, and Reporting Agents — that automate and coordinate intelligence analyst workflows. The platform is designed for defense, public safety, and national security customers, with deployment options spanning self-hosted bare metal, air-gapped environments, accredited cloud, and sovereign cloud, and is sold into U.S. and allied-nation government agencies (including via the Oracle Defence Ecosystem partnership).

Brands

• User-Generated Field Intelligence™ (UGFI): Capability to turn any authorized visual source (smartphones, social media, MEDEX, digital forensics, CCTV, body cams, drones, FMV, customer repositories) into structured, searchable intelligence at mission speed.
• SuperPerspective™

Products and services

• Airis Platform (User-Generated Field Intelligence™) Airis's flagship video-native AI platform that turns any authorized visual source — smartphones, social media, MEDEX, digital forensics, CCTV, bodycams, drones, FMV, and customer repositories — into structured, searchable intelligence at mission speed for defense, intelligence, and public-safety agencies.
• SuperPerspective™ Unified intelligence layer that fuses user-generated content with traditional media sources (CCTV, drone footage, bodycam) into a single master view of the physical world, allowing analysts, operators, investigators, and AI agents to work from a single operational view.
• Analyst Agents A team of specialized agentic analysts built for intelligence workflows that extract maximum value from user-generated video, including Entity Resolution, Planning, Retrieval, and Reporting agents, with humans setting priorities, approving outputs, and making the final call.

Expansion highlights7 records

Emerging players

• Skydio: U.S. autonomous drone company whose video feeds are a primary input type for Airis; complementary in some accounts and competitive in integrated ISR offerings.
• Reveal Technology: Defense-AI startup building AI for ISR and full-motion-video analysis, with similar DoD-focused go-to-market. Closest emerging-stage peer to Airis in scope.

Direct peers

• Two Six Technologies: Defense and intelligence technology provider with deep signal/video analytics and forward-deployed operator teams. Comparable in serving classified, mission-focused customer workflows.
• Anduril Industries: Defense-tech prime building Lattice and sensor/video intelligence products (Ghost, Roadrunner, Bolt). Directly competes for the same defense/intel video and sensor-fusion use cases that Airis targets.
• Shield AI: Defense AI company with Hivemind autonomy and video/ISR intelligence products sold to DoD and allies. Overlaps with Airis on autonomous video exploitation for defense and public safety.
• Primer AI: Multi-modal AI for defense and intelligence, with strong NLP and video/text analytics for analyst workflows. Closest direct peer in 'AI agents for analysts' value proposition.
• Scale AI: Data and AI platform for defense (Donovan, Thunderforge) serving DoD and intelligence customers. Competes for the same multi-modal intelligence workflows and government-AI budgets.

Broad incumbents

• Palantir Technologies: Dominant defense/intelligence AI platform (Gotham, AIP). Airis's three co-founders are all former Palantir operators, making Palantir the most direct benchmark for product, deployment model, and customer base.
• Leidos: Large defense prime with significant intel and AI programs. Competes for the same defense/intel video analytics RFPs and represents a potential prime contractor partnership path.
• Booz Allen Hamilton: Large defense integrator with a growing AI and analytics practice serving the same defense/intel agencies. Represents both a competitor and a potential channel/partner for Airis.
