Foresight Takes Major Step Toward Commercialization With Elbit Systems Securing Revenues up to $4 Million
July 17 2023 - 8:20AM
Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX)
(“Foresight”), an innovator in automotive vision systems, announced
today the signing of an exclusive commercialization agreement with
Elbit Systems Land Ltd. (“Elbit”), a subsidiary of Elbit Systems
Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: ESLT), for the integration, marketing and
licensing of Foresight’s image processing software solution.
Foresight expects revenues of up to $4 million, over a contractual
period of five years, with minimum guaranteed revenues of $1
million over that time period. The Company expects that it will
start recognizing initial revenues from its agreement with Elbit
during the second half of 2023.
According to the agreement, Elbit will
commercialize Foresight’s software solution, exclusively and
globally, in the form of a software license. Foresight’s solution
will be offered to Elbit’s end customers as a component of advanced
driver assistance systems (ADAS) for driving safety, as well as a
solution for semi- and fully-autonomous platforms, used in unmanned
combat and security ground vehicles in the defense, paramilitary
and homeland security markets (the “ESL Field”). The software
license for each platform will be sold for several thousand U.S.
dollars per license. Furthermore, Foresight will provide support,
maintenance, and customization services for its software to both
Elbit and Elbit’s customers.
Elbit will have the exclusive rights to market
and sell Foresight’s image processing software in the ESL Field in
Israel, for a period of five years. Elbit will also have exclusive
rights to market and sell Foresight’s image processing software in
the ESL Field globally, for a period of five years, depending on
sales targets as determined in the agreement.
“We are excited to strengthen our ongoing
collaboration with Elbit and significantly advance our
commercialization efforts. Elbit has chosen to exclusively offer
our unique software-based vision solutions to customers in the
defense and paramilitary sectors who are seeking 3D perception
solutions for ADAS and autonomous vehicles. This agreement further
reinforces Foresight’s position as a pioneering technology leader
in advanced automotive vision systems, and we believe that it will
help to strengthen our balance sheet and revenues in the coming
years,” said Haim Siboni, CEO of Foresight.
