Ziva Corporation

What Ziva Corporation does

Ziva Corporation is a defense technology company developing advanced radar and threat detection platforms focused on counter-UAS (unmanned aircraft systems) applications. The core offering is a proprietary radar/sense technology that detects threats up to 10 minutes sooner than conventional systems, tracks targets at ranges up to 250 km, and provides coverage at a stated cost efficiency of $100 per km2. The product surface includes portable, field-deployable radar units and a real-time UAS detection dashboard with multi-target tracking, positioning the company around an integrated sense-track-protect workflow rather than discrete components.

The company operates an enterprise field-sales motion selling defense technology hardware systems and integrated solutions to U.S. military branches and international allied forces. Revenue is generated through defense hardware sales and government defense contracts, with the Army Acquisition Marketplace serving as a formal procurement channel since December 2025. The company is venture capital-backed, with a $510M round closed in November 2025 led by Valor Equity Partners at a $4.5 billion post-money valuation, and maintains offices in Los Angeles (headquarters), Washington DC, San Francisco, San Diego, London, and Amman to support domestic procurement and allied force engagement across North America, Europe, and the Middle East.

Use of capital is directed toward product development, manufacturing scale-up, and the rollout of expanded threat-detection networks amid rising global drone activity. Distribution messaging emphasizes interoperability across U.S. and allied forces and a 'domain dominance' positioning, indicating platform-economy ambitions rather than single-product defense contracting. Note: firmographic metadata in the source dataset conflicts with the operational record — firmographics describe a 2002-founded, San Diego-headquartered wireless/mobile communications entity, while all operational evidence (funding, technology, offices, GTM) describes a 2025-founded Los Angeles-based defense radar business; this description reflects the latter, richer record.

Direct peers

• Shield AI: Shield AI develops AI-piloted autonomous aircraft and broader defense autonomy software sold to U.S. and allied militaries. It overlaps with CHAOS in mission-domain (autonomous UAS-relevant sensing/tracking), funding profile, and customer set.
• Epirus: Epirus builds counter-electronics and directed-energy systems for defeating drone and missile threats, sold to U.S. military customers. It is a close peer in the counter-UAS / counter-missile mission space and shares CHAOS' venture-backed, deep-tech profile.
• DroneShield: DroneShield provides RF-based C-UAS detection and defeat systems to military, government, and critical infrastructure customers worldwide. It is highly comparable to CHAOS in product category and customer set.
• Fortem Technologies: Fortem Technologies offers radar-based drone detection and interdiction (DroneHunter) for defense and homeland security. It competes head-to-head with CHAOS in the radar-based UAS detection niche.
• Anduril Industries: Anduril is a venture-backed defense technology company building autonomous systems and counter-UAS / air-defense solutions (Lattice, Roadrunner, Bolt) for U.S. and allied forces. It is the most direct competitive analogue to CHAOS, sharing the same funding scale, procurement channel, and customer base.
• Dedrone: Dedrone specializes in drone detection and airspace security across multi-sensor inputs (RF, radar, camera). It directly competes with CHAOS in the C-UAS detection category and serves both defense and critical infrastructure customers.

Broad incumbents

• Lockheed Martin: Lockheed Martin's Missiles and Fire Control and Rotary divisions span radar, C-UAS, and missile defense. It is the broadest incumbent in U.S. defense procurement and a key customer/competitor channel for CHAOS.
• Northrop Grumman: Northrop Grumman is a top U.S. defense prime with deep capabilities in radar, integrated air defense, and autonomous systems. It is comparable as a portfolio incumbent that CHAOS could displace in select programs or partner with on integrated solutions.
• Raytheon Technologies (RTX): RTX's Raytheon Missiles & Defense division is a leading U.S. defense prime in radar systems, missile defense, and integrated air-and-missile defense. It competes with CHAOS for adjacent program-of-record awards in radar and sensing.
• CACI International: CACI provides C5ISR, electronic warfare, and sensor-integration services to defense and intelligence customers. It overlaps with CHAOS in defense sensing and DoD procurement channels.
