TEL AVIV, Israel, May 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Arbe is a third-place winner in the Vision/Camera Systems and Components category of the AUVSI XCELLENCE Awards program by the Association for Unmanned Vehicles Systems International (AUVSI) for its Phoenix Radar System. Selected from a pool of accomplished applicants that have also demonstrated achievements in the unmanned systems field, Arbe continues to rank among the best in the industry. Winners were announced during the awards ceremony at AUVSI XPONENTIAL on Tuesday, April 30 at the McCormick Place in Chicago.

"We are excited to not only be a finalist but also rank among the industry's best in autonomous technologies," said Kobi Marenko, CEO of Arbe. "This achievement highlights our commitment to transforming radar's role to be the backbone of the sensor suite. Our goal is to become the foundation for driver sensors in all levels of vehicle autonomy."

First unveiled at CES 2019, Arbe's latest chipset, front end of Phoenix, is an ultra-high-resolution automotive radar system that powers the next-generation of imaging radar by classifying objects in elevation and azimuth. The chipset is expected to transform the role of automotive radar from a supportive sensor to the mainstay of the driver assistance and autonomous driving sensor suite. Phoenix provides an image 100 times more detailed than other top industry radars, offering superior separation of stationary and moving objects in real time – an industry first.

The AUVSI XCELLENCE Awards honor innovators in the unmanned systems industry, including individuals and organizations, with a demonstrated commitment to advancing technology, leading and promoting safe operations, and developing programs that use unmanned systems to improve the human condition.
