Ce que fait Arlo Industries

Arlo Industries is building a network of sensors that precisely tracks stealthy drones and aerial threats better than radars. This capability does not exist yet because traditional radars are built on past war doctrines designed to protect single, centralised assets. Modern warfare, however, demands wide-area, persistent coverage that is both passive and economically scalable. By utilising a mesh architecture, Arlo Industries unlocks unprecedented asymmetric economics. The network is fundamentally built to scale: the cost of adding sensors grows linearly, but the tracking accuracy increases exponentially, delivering highly resilient, persistent coverage for a fraction of the cost of legacy systems. Deo founded Arlo Industries after spending over 6 years in the Israeli defence ecosystem, where he lived through multiple conflicts and experienced the Iron Dome and other systems in action against ICBMs and the infamous Shahed drones. Learning exactly how these defence systems could be improved after a Shahed exploded close to his apartment, he built Arlo Industries around the core philosophy that conflict should be concise & precise. The people behind Arlo1 includes a PhD in drones and autonomy and military experts. Arlo Industries has actively showcased this technology directly to Ukrainian militaries on the frontlines, as well as to operators across Europe and the USA.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Passive aerial sensing mesh to track drones and missiles

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build a network of passive sensors arranged in a mesh to detect and track stealthy drones and missiles with precision. Unlike traditional radars that focus on protecting a single asset, our system delivers wide-area, persistent coverage that improves exponentially as we add sensors. It's built to be scalable and cost-effective for modern defense needs, particularly in asymmetrical conflict zones.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and operate in San Francisco, CA, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is the best place for us to access cutting-edge hardware talent and networks in aerospace and defense startups. It also gives us easier access to key U.S. defense customers and investor communities.
