Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX), an innovator
in automotive vision systems, announced today the signing of a
commercial agreement with Elbit Systems Land Ltd., a subsidiary of Elbit
Systems Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: ESLT), for exclusive marketing of its
proprietary image processing software for the defense, paramilitary and
homeland security markets. Elbit, a $6.7-billion leading defense
electronics company based in Israel, intends to integrate Foresight’s
image processing software into its products, systems and solutions, and
to market it globally. The software will be implemented in wheeled
military and security ground vehicles, including unmanned vehicles.

This commercial agreement follows a successful evaluation of the
QuadSight™ four-camera vision system prototype purchased by Elbit, as
reported by Foresight on March 4, 2019. Elbit thoroughly tested the
QuadSight system in comparison with other solutions and chose it for its
outstanding performance. The system was evaluated over a period of two
months in both controlled and uncontrolled environments, including
testing in off-road driving conditions.

According to the agreement, Foresight will sell the current version of
its proprietary image processing software in the form of a software
license to both Elbit and Elbit’s customers for several thousand U.S.
dollars per license. Foresight will also provide support and maintenance
services to Elbit for an additional fee. Furthermore, Foresight expects
to receive a more substantial consideration in return for future
development agreements in order to accommodate changes to its current
software version, as required by Elbit or Elbit’s customers, on a
case-by-case basis.

Elbit will have exclusive rights to market and sell Foresight’s image
processing software in Israel for a period of several years. In order to
maintain exclusive rights in Israel, Elbit committed to issue minimum
annual orders for the exclusivity period, with an initial purchase order
in the amount of approximately $50,000 due after the execution of the
agreement.

Elbit will also have exclusive rights to distribute Foresight’s image
processing software globally for an initial period, as determined in the
agreement. The global exclusivity excludes several customers within the
defense industry who are already engaged in commercial activity with
Foresight. The exclusivity rights, both in Israel and globally, may be
extended based on sales achievements.

“We are very excited to announce our cooperation with a leading global
company like Elbit, which marks an important milestone for Foresight.
This agreement validates the business approach we have taken over the
last year, selling prototype systems and offering strategic partners the
chance to experience our unique solution firsthand and integrate it into
their vehicles.” said Haim Siboni, CEO of Foresight. “Elbit is known for
its rigorous testing and strict requirements. The QuadSight system was
selected as Elbit’s technology of choice when compared to other
competing technologies, further strengthening Foresight’s position as a
technology leader for advanced automotive vision systems. Entering the
new defense market will enable Foresight to extend and enhance its
current product capabilities and will open new opportunities.”

About QuadSight

The QuadSight system was launched in January 2018 at the Consumers
Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Foresight regards QuadSight as the
industry’s most accurate quad-camera vision system, offering exceptional
obstacle detection for semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle safety.
Through sensor fusion, QuadSight leverages reflected light from
visible-light cameras with thermal energy captured by long-wave infrared
cameras for robust accurate object detection of any shape, form or
material, in all weather and lighting conditions – including complete
darkness, rain, haze, fog and glare. By adapting field-proven security
technology that has been deployed for almost two decades, QuadSight™
offers autonomous vehicles perception capabilities beyond those of human
eyes and reduces the likelihood of accidents and injuries.
