“The first application is autonomous vehicles whether they are supply tracks or even armored vehicles. All of them want to drive safe especially off road in environments that are full of dust, rain, fog and all of the main problems that the radar is the best sensor for that. And for that we already have a client the American army that bought from us hundreds of units and we believe that we will get another order for that as well.”

About Kobi Marenko
Kobi Marenko, president and co-founder of Arbe Robotics, spoke on the company's Q1 2026 earnings call on May 28, 2026. He stated that the company strengthened its balance sheet during the quarter by closing an underwritten registered direct offering that raised $18.5 million in gross proceeds, providing financial flexibility to invest in a phase of fast growth. Marenko said Arbe's ultra high resolution radar platform is being adopted beyond automotive, with increased interest and initial system sales in homeland security and smart infrastructure. He noted the company has a client in the U.S. Army that purchased hundreds of units for autonomous vehicle applications, including supply trucks and armored vehicles operating off-road in challenging conditions like dust and fog. Marenko also explained that non-automotive markets, while having lower volumes, offer significantly higher average unit prices because Arbe sells complete systems rather than just chipset components.
