Weapons detection and threat intelligence platform creator ZeroEyes has announced a planned $10 million U.S. investment in artificial intelligence/machine learning research and development.
This includes a commitment to hiring more than 100 veterans in southeastern Pennsylvania over the next 24 months to fill the roles of technical program managers (AI), MLOps engineers and AI solutions specialists. The company made the announcement at Senator Dave McCormick’s 2026 Pennsylvania Defense and Innovation Summit at Army War College in Carlisle, Pa.
The ZeroEyes investment in artificial intelligence/machine learning research and development will fund additional expansion, including:
● The company’s 3,000-square-foot experimental AI technology lab that gives ZeroEyes the ability to generate unparalleled data, perform live demos, and test its AI weapons detection models and hardware in any environment
● The Conshohocken-based ZeroEyes Operations Center (ZOC), the industry’s only in-house operations hub staffed primarily by military and law enforcement veterans, including former special forces personnel
● Small drone technology capabilities, including 3D environment mapping, threat detection (ZeroEyes Aerial Detection [ZAD] Kit), and active shooter disorientation (Drones/Robots for Active Shooter Deterrence [DRASD])
Over the past few months, ZeroEyes has expanded its platform beyond firearm detection to deliver “a broader, more intelligent approach to safety,” according to the company announcement.
New analytics capabilities including knife detection and real-time threat geolocation, as well as additional security offerings, “mark a significant step toward unifying acute threat detection with everyday safety operations,” the announcement says.
The new capabilities “reflect ZeroEyes’ goal to become a single, trusted platform organizations will use to secure, detect and respond to a wide range of critical security events,” according to the company announcement. “These continued investments showcase the company’s commitment to further developing a comprehensive security platform that integrates preparedness, operational awareness and investigative insights.”
“This investment marks a critical milestone in our evolution into a unified threat intelligence platform that provides organizations with a single, trusted ecosystem for threat response,” says Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes, in the company announcement. “We are excited to accelerate our technology roadmap while deepening our commitment to the veteran community within our home of southeastern Pennsylvania.”
