Description

Skypearl Ltd, a discreet Israeli start-up co-founded by Sergey Vichik, a former Google X engineer, and Ori Gonen, a former Israeli military officer, is a developer of stratospheric Intelligence and surveillance platforms. Their products include spy balloons for intelligence operations. These semi-autonomous balloons, part of the classified Tzafon Aerostat programme, were deployed since 2023 over Gaza. Equipped with technologies such as gyroscopic stabilization, AI-driven altitude control, SIGINT sensors, Lidar, and multispectral imaging systems, the balloons silently monitor and surveil populations in real time. Skypearl has minimal public presence, with its headquarters registered in Herzliya and no official website or trade show appearances.
