    Led · Seed · Apr 2026

    Codective develops the IVFOS (Inertial Visual Flow and Optical System), an autonomous navigation platform designed to provide navigation without dependence on GNSS/GPS signals. IVFOS combines computer vision, visual odometry, inertial navigation, sensor data fusion, and on-board computing to operate in conditions of jamming, loss, or distortion of satellite signals. The company has secured a $200,000 seed investment from Israel Aerospace Industries, which it views as a strategic investor. Codective plans to use the funding for field testing, integration with defense platforms, and scaling of the IVFOS platform. The startup intends to pursue further fundraising and expand cooperation with government and private defense-sector entities in allied countries. No revenue, user, or other operating metrics were disclosed in the articles.
