Airobotics has successfully completed a proof-of-concept (PoC) of the Optimus Drone Infrastructure in the Haifa port area. The PoC was conducted with the Israel Port Company (IPC), which is responsible for planning, development, construction, maintenance, and enhancement of Israel's commercial seaports in Haifa, Ashdod, and Eilat. With the successful completion of the PoC, Airobotics and IPC will be working on advancing the deployment of Optimus in the Haifa port area.

The Haifa port area is the most complicated port compound in Israel, consisting of seven ports and corporations dealing with various types of cargo - containers, general cargo, automobiles, bulk, grain, chemicals, cement, and more. IPC, which is responsible for the security of the entire port area, has tested Airobotics' Optimus System as an integral component in the security array of the port. Currently, IPC is using crewed speed boats to escort and verify the different vessels sailing in the port area.

With the Optimus system, IPC aims to increase the visibility of maritime traffic and reduce the number of dispatches of crewed boats.
