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