Tel Aviv: Elbit Systems FUSE has completed the acquisition of the Israeli technology company Blue White Robotics, a developer of AI-powered autonomous solutions for critical off-road and defence applications. Under the terms of the agreement, FUSE acquired 100% of Blue White’s shares.
Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, Blue White has developed a unique off-road autonomy platform that enables seamless, OEM-agnostic capabilities. Blue White products, Pathfinder, an autonomy kit for converting conventional vehicles to fully autonomous, and Compass, a cloud-based fleet operations software, transform ground vehicles into fully autonomous, intelligent fleets capable of executing complex missions in rugged environments.
With more than 100,000 cumulative autonomous operating hours across agricultural and defence platforms, Blue White brings a mature ground autonomy stack (TRL 8–9) with proven deployment across both civil and military markets.
The acquisition strengthens FUSE’s multi-domain autonomy capabilities, complementing its existing unmanned aerial and swarm technologies and enhancing its ability to deliver advanced robotic and manned–unmanned teaming (MUM-T) solutions to defence and homeland security customers worldwide.
“Autonomy and robotics are reshaping how defence forces operate today,” said Eyal Dahan, CEO of FUSE.
He added, “The world is changing rapidly, and modern battlefields require vast adoption of robotics capabilities. The integration of Blue White’s technologies into FUSE’s multi-domain ecosystem enhances our ability to deliver unified autonomous solutions across air, land, and indoor domains. This step enhances FUSE’s autonomous robotics capabilities, positioning the company to effectively address the growing global demand for scalable, AI-powered autonomy.”
FUSE (formerly Flying Production), operating as an integral part of Elbit Systems C4I & Cyber, specialises in design, development and delivery of world-leading AI-driven autonomous combat systems solutions, providing mission-critical unmanned capabilities at scale.
