About

Cherev, Hebrew for "sword", was founded by veterans of Israel's special forces. We develop AI systems for defensive and offensive military applications, the Keshet Yehonatan training system, and counter-FPV drone defense for organizations whose mistakes cost lives.

How we work
Four commitments
- 01
Start from a problem met in service
Each of our products began as a gap someone on the team experienced directly: material in a language the unit could not read fast enough, a drill that could not be repeated safely, a drone that the jammer did not see.
- 02
Describe products by what they do
Our team's operational experience is real and we say so with confidence. Each product is then described by its own record: what it does, where it is in use, and what is provided in briefings rather than on a website.
- 03
Keep customers and operations out of public view
We do not publish customer names, deployment locations, performance figures or the details of defensive and offensive programs. Evaluations and briefings happen under NDA.
- 04
Build to the standard the customer requires
We display no certification badges. Where a program requires a standard such as ISO 27001 or a NATO STANAG, we build to it under contract and document compliance in writing.
Context
Built during a live war
Cherev's current work is shaped by the war that began on October 7, 2023 and by the Ukrainian front: intelligence that arrives faster than it can be read, units that must train for threats that did not exist a year earlier, and small drones that jammers cannot stop. Our team is in direct contact with the units living those problems, and that contact sets the roadmap.
