Target: Motorola Solutions, Inc., including Motorola Solutions Israel Ltd.

Research date: 26 October 2026

Evidence period: Historical records through October 2026.

Enterprise Technology Stack & Vendor Relationships

Corporate technology portfolio

Motorola Solutions’ 2025 Form 10-K, filed in February 2026, describes a business supplying public-safety communications, command-centre technologies, video security, access control, software, and services to government and enterprise customers.¹

The company’s current product documentation identifies Avigilon Unity, Avigilon Alta, video analytics, access-control systems, and associated camera-management infrastructure within its commercial security portfolio.²

Verified external technology partnerships

[pre-2020] In 2018, Motorola Solutions announced a relationship with Microsoft for Azure Government Cloud services as part of its public-safety software activities; the announcement establishes a historical commercial relationship but does not establish deployment of Azure Government within Israel or Project Nimbus.³

[pre-2020] In 2013, Motorola Solutions announced a strategic investment in Israeli video-analytics company BriefCam, establishing a direct investment relationship with an Israeli-origin technology provider rather than merely a potential supplier connection.⁴

Israeli-origin enterprise vendors

No public evidence identified establishing current Motorola Solutions procurement, licensing, or production integration of Check Point, Wiz, SentinelOne, CyberArk, NICE, Verint, Claroty, Palo Alto Networks, or comparable Israeli-origin enterprise security platforms.

Technology dependency

[pre-2020] Motorola’s BriefCam announcement described the company’s investment in surveillance-video indexing and analysis technology, but it did not identify BriefCam as an essential component of Motorola Solutions’ internal IT infrastructure or establish a current production dependency.⁴

Procurement and systems integration

Who Profits identifies Motorola Solutions and its Israeli subsidiary as providers and integrators of communications, command-and-control, and surveillance equipment for Israeli state institutions and settlement authorities, including named Nitzan, MotoBridge, MotoEagle, and municipal security systems.⁵

No public evidence identified establishing that an external systems integrator required Motorola Solutions to adopt an Israeli-origin cybersecurity or enterprise-software product for its own internal systems.

Surveillance, Biometrics & Retail Technology

Surveillance systems in settlements

[pre-2020] Who Profits documents Motorola Solutions Israel’s MotoEagle wide-area surveillance infrastructure in Israeli settlements and the West Bank separation-wall system, tracing the project to 2005 and identifying historical deployments in settlements including Tekoa, Shilo, Eli, and other West Bank locations.⁵

[pre-2020] AFSC Investigate separately describes Motorola radar installations in settlements and states that MotoEagle was present in at least 25 settlements by 2016, while also documenting historical surveillance-related contracts with settlement authorities.⁶

Who Profits identifies an April 2021 Ariel Municipality contract for technological security systems valued at NIS 300,000 and describes a June 2023 industrial-zone protection tender referring to an existing Motorola command-and-control installation.⁵

Who Profits also identifies Motorola command-and-control software, Avigilon camera-management technology, MotoBridge, licence-plate recognition cameras, and related systems used by the Jordan Valley Regional Council, which administers settlements in the occupied West Bank.⁵

Facial recognition and biometric identification

[pre-2020] Motorola Solutions announced in 2019 that Avigilon Control Center 7.4 included facial-recognition capabilities, local watch-list management, access auditing, and configurable retention and deletion controls; the announcement described locally hosted customer-controlled data rather than establishing Israeli hosting.⁷

Motorola’s product information describes automatic licence-plate recognition and vehicle-location analytics capable of supporting investigative searches and watch-list notifications.⁸

Who Profits identifies the Zramim system as an Israeli Ministry of Defence checkpoint-identification platform developed by Motorola Solutions Israel under a 2019 procurement arrangement, citing a June 2024 ministry freedom-of-information response; the system reportedly processes identifying documentation and photographs for Palestinian commercial drivers.⁵

The Zramim account identifies the Tarkumiye, Gilboa, and Sha’ar Ephraim commercial checkpoints as deployment locations and establishes a specific reported identity-processing application involving an Israeli military authority.⁵

Predictive analytics and monitoring

Motorola Solutions’ November 2025 acquisition of Blue Eye added AI-assisted remote video-monitoring services, including threat detection, operational alerts, and security-operations-centre monitoring; the acquisition announcement identified Blue Eye as based in Salt Lake City, Utah.⁹

Motorola Solutions’ April 2022 acquisition of Calipsa added cloud-based video analytics supporting alarm verification, tamper detection, and content-based searches; the company identified Calipsa as London-based.¹⁰

No public evidence identified establishing deployment of these specific acquired platforms for predictive policing or workforce surveillance by Israeli authorities.

Third-party deployments

Motorola’s published video-security documentation confirms that Avigilon Alta Cloud Connectors support cameras from existing installations, establishing a technical mechanism through which Motorola-managed analytics can integrate with third-party camera infrastructure.²

No public evidence identified that a named Israeli managed-service provider deployed an otherwise undisclosed Motorola surveillance platform on behalf of an Israeli military or settlement customer.

Cloud Infrastructure, Data Residency & Sovereign Cloud Participation

Israeli corporate presence

Motorola Solutions’ corporate subsidiary register identifies Motorola Solutions Israel Ltd. among its corporate entities, establishing a direct legal presence in Israel.¹¹

[pre-2020] In an April 2019 corporate announcement, Motorola Solutions described its Israeli subsidiary as a long-established operation serving police, military, public-security, emergency-response, municipal, infrastructure, and commercial customers.¹²

Data-centre operations

No public evidence identified establishing that Motorola Solutions owns or leases a dedicated commercial data centre in Israel.

No public evidence identified establishing the physical hosting location of the Zramim identity database or the complete storage architecture of the Nitzan communications infrastructure.

Government cloud and Project Nimbus

No public evidence identified establishing a Motorola Solutions contract under Project Nimbus or a named role supplying infrastructure to that programme.

Commercial cloud services

Motorola Solutions’ March 2022 acquisition of Ava Security Limited added cloud-native video-security and analytics capabilities, with the acquired business identified as London-based.¹³

Motorola Solutions’ July 2024 acquisition of Australian-headquartered Noggin added cloud-based critical-event-management software supporting operational-resilience workflows, maps, incident coordination, and situation dashboards.¹⁴

Motorola Solutions’ March 2026 acquisition of Exacom added cloud-native recording and logging technology for public-safety radio communications, emergency calls, and associated evidence-management workflows.¹⁵

Data-exposure principle

Who Profits’ account of Zramim identifies the collection of Palestinian drivers’ personal documentation and photographs for checkpoint access administration, but the available account does not specify whether all records are stored on premises, within Israel, or in infrastructure operated by another contractor.⁵

[pre-2020] Motorola Solutions’ Avigilon facial-recognition announcement described local customer control of watch-list data for that product, establishing that at least one facial-recognition configuration was designed for customer-controlled local storage.⁷

No public evidence identified establishing that all Motorola Solutions customer data worldwide is processed within Israeli jurisdiction.

No public evidence identified establishing the precise cross-border data-transfer arrangements, encryption-key custody, or external administrator access arrangements for Motorola Solutions’ Israeli government deployments.

Israeli state data-sovereignty services

No public evidence identified establishing a separately marketed Motorola Solutions sovereign-cloud offering specifically for Israeli government institutions.

Defence, Intelligence & Security Sector Technology Relationships

Direct military and security customers

[pre-2020] Motorola Solutions’ April 2019 announcement explicitly identified Israeli military and security agencies among the customers of Motorola Solutions Israel, alongside police, fire services, municipalities, and critical-infrastructure operators.¹²

[pre-2020] Motorola Solutions announced that Avraham Ben David became general manager of its Israeli subsidiary in April 2019 and stated that he had previously served for approximately 30 years in the Israel Defense Forces, including senior engineering and command appointments.¹²

Israeli military communications

[pre-2020] Who Profits reported in January 2014 that Motorola Solutions received an approximately US$100 million, 15-year Israeli Ministry of Defence contract covering encrypted smartphones for the Israeli military and other security forces, including development and maintenance arrangements.¹⁶

The 2014 report described encrypted voice and email communications, digital-media functions, and navigation capabilities as intended features of the military communications programme.¹⁶

The original stated 15-year term would extend to approximately 2029, although the reviewed evidence does not independently establish whether the original contract continued without amendment or termination.¹⁶

Israel Police communications infrastructure

Who Profits reports that Motorola Solutions has supplied and maintained the Nitzan police operational communications system, including radios, network infrastructure, software updates, and MotoBridge interoperability technology.⁵

According to Who Profits, a November 2024 sole-supplier arrangement provided for NIS 56 million in Nitzan infrastructure maintenance and procurement between January 2025 and December 2026.⁵

Who Profits also reports police procurement arrangements in 2023 and 2024 covering Nitzan terminal equipment, pager maintenance, the Nofar radio-alert system, and preparations for a P25 network operating in the 400 MHz range.⁵

In August 2026, Al Jazeera reported that Motorola Solutions Israel received a May 2026 procurement award valued at approximately NIS 25.5 million to maintain about 19,000 Israeli police radios and provide encryption licences through April 2028.¹⁷

The November 2024 and reported May 2026 procurement activities fall after the July 2024 ICJ advisory opinion and the November 2024 ICC arrest warrants, establishing post-notice procurement dates without independently establishing Motorola Solutions’ internal legal assessments or decision-making.^{5, 17}

Security and administrative technology in occupied territory

Who Profits reports that Motorola Solutions Israel supplied communications or security systems to Ariel, Kiryat Arba, Mateh Binyamin, Modi’in Illit, and other settlement authorities through contracts or installations documented across 2016–2023.⁵

Who Profits also identifies equipment provided to the Israeli Civil Administration, including communications equipment in 2019 and 2021 and equipment associated with its Population Registry in October 2023.⁵

The same investigation reports historical checkpoint distress-alert systems at Qalandiya, Bethlehem/Checkpoint 300, and other locations, with provision documented during 2009–2014 and subsequent maintenance described in its company investigation.⁵

Dual-use provision

Motorola Solutions’ commercially available command-centre, radio, video-security, and evidence-management products are described by the company as general-purpose public-safety and security technologies, including products intended for government and enterprise customers.¹

Who Profits identifies applications of Motorola communications and surveillance technology involving Israeli police, military authorities, checkpoints, and settlement security, documenting deployments of technology with both public-safety and security-sector functions.⁵

Offensive cyber and weapons-specific technology

No public evidence identified establishing Motorola Solutions’ sale of exploit frameworks, zero-day intrusion capabilities, or offensive cyber tools to Israeli state actors.

No public evidence identified identifying a Motorola Solutions product supplied to Israel whose primary designed output is kinetic weapons targeting or fire-control decisions; any subsequently established purpose-built weapons capability requires separate Military treatment.

The Israeli Government Procurement Administration’s primary record, publication 4000594041, establishes that the Nitzan communications-system procurement notice was published on 7 November 2024, fourteen days before the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant on 21 November 2024. The NIS 56 million sole-supplier notice identifies Motorola Solutions Israel Ltd. (company number 510180029), cites Regulation 3(29), and specifies a contractual period of 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2026. The record was updated on 26 November 2024, which was also the deadline for objections. It does not establish that the agreement was executed on that later date. This corrects the existing statement under “Israel Police communications infrastructure” that the November 2024 procurement activity occurred after the ICC arrest warrants: the documented procurement notice preceded those decisions, although its subsequent update and proposed contractual performance period followed them. The existing statement concerning the July 2024 ICJ advisory opinion remains chronologically consistent.^{18, 19}

AI, Algorithmic & Autonomous Systems

Commercial artificial intelligence

Motorola Solutions’ video-security portfolio includes AI-enabled cameras, video analytics, searchable surveillance footage, and automated licence-plate recognition capabilities.^{2, 8}

[pre-2020] Avigilon’s 2019 product announcement described commercial facial-recognition functionality, including configurable watch lists, user authentication, audit logs, and data-deletion functions.⁷

Motorola Solutions’ November 2025 Blue Eye acquisition added AI-assisted remote video monitoring capable of detecting threats and supporting real-time responses.⁹

Motorola Solutions’ March 2026 Exacom acquisition announcement described integration of communications recordings with digital evidence management and the company’s Assist AI capabilities.¹⁵

Israeli state applications

Who Profits identifies Motorola-associated surveillance cameras and command-and-control installations serving Jerusalem municipal security functions, including equipment deployed in East Jerusalem, and describes automated video-analysis capabilities associated with the municipal surveillance programme.⁵

The Jordan Valley Regional Council equipment identified by Who Profits includes Avigilon camera-management and licence-plate recognition technologies, although the reviewed evidence does not establish the precise software model or AI configuration operating at every location.⁵

Training data and datasets

No public evidence identified establishing that Motorola Solutions trained a named proprietary AI model using Palestinian civilian datasets, intercepted communications, or records obtained from Israeli military surveillance.

No public evidence identified establishing that the company’s global AI model-training datasets were transferred to an Israeli military institution.

Automated surveillance and tracking

Motorola’s commercial documentation establishes capabilities for automated vehicle identification and surveillance search, while the settlement-related investigation identifies deployments of camera-management and licence-plate recognition technologies at named authorities.^{8, 5}

No public evidence identified establishing provision of an autonomous lethal targeting system by Motorola Solutions to the Israeli military.

No public evidence identified establishing that a Motorola Solutions AI model autonomously generated human or structural targets for Israeli military strikes.

Technology Ecosystem & R&D Footprint

Israeli research and development

[pre-2020] Motorola Solutions announced an Israeli innovation centre in 2016 and described its Israeli subsidiary as the company’s first overseas research-and-development centre outside North America.²⁰

The innovation-centre announcement described research concepts including wearable communications, automatic body-camera activation, object tracking, command-centre visualisation, and other public-safety technologies.²⁰

[pre-2020] Motorola Solutions’ 2019 Israeli management announcement reaffirmed the subsidiary’s historical research and development presence and identified military, security, police, municipal, and infrastructure customers.¹²

No independently verified October 2026 headcount or project-level breakdown of Motorola Solutions’ Israeli research workforce was identified.

Acquisitions and investments

[pre-2020] On 13 March 2013, Motorola Solutions announced an investment in Israeli video-analysis company BriefCam through Motorola Solutions Venture Capital, identifying the transaction as its second investment in the Israeli market.⁴

The announcement described BriefCam’s Video Synopsis technology as a tool for rapidly reviewing recorded surveillance footage for investigations and incident reconstruction.⁴

[pre-2020] On 28 March 2018, Motorola Solutions completed the acquisition of Canadian video-surveillance company Avigilon, adding video management, analytics, cameras, access control, and a substantial patent portfolio.²¹

In March and April 2022, Motorola Solutions announced the acquisitions of London-based Ava Security and Calipsa, expanding its cloud-video-security and advanced analytics capabilities.^{13, 10}

In July 2024, Motorola Solutions acquired Australian-headquartered Noggin, whose software supports critical-event management and operational resilience.¹⁴

In November 2025, Motorola Solutions acquired US-based Blue Eye, adding AI-assisted remote monitoring and security-operations services.⁹

In March 2026, Motorola Solutions acquired US-based Exacom, adding communications recording, logging, and evidence-management functionality.¹⁵

No public evidence identified establishing that Motorola Solutions currently owns BriefCam or retains its original 2013 equity investment.

No additional confirmed acquisition of an Israeli-domiciled technology company was established from the reviewed acquisition announcements.

Governance and controlling principals

The company’s 2026 definitive proxy statement identifies Gregory Q. Brown as chairman and chief executive officer and lists Nicole Anasenes, Kenneth D. Denman, Ayanna M. Howard, Mark E. Lashier, Peter A. Leav, Elizabeth D. Mann, and Joseph M. Tucci among the board nominees.²²

Motorola Solutions announced Peter A. Leav’s appointment to the board on 12 March 2026, identifying his background in enterprise technology and software leadership.²³

No public evidence identified establishing a specific personal equity holding, family-office investment, or directorship by these named principals in an identified Israeli surveillance, military-intelligence, or offensive-cyber company.

Patents and research institutions

[pre-2020] Motorola Solutions’ Avigilon acquisition announcement stated that Avigilon held more than 750 United States and international patents, but did not identify a specific collaboration with an Israeli academic institution.²¹

No public evidence identified establishing a specific patent-licensing or joint-development agreement between Motorola Solutions and Technion, Hebrew University, Weizmann Institute, or another named Israeli research institution.

On 20 August 2026, Motorola Solutions confirmed completion of its $1.5 billion acquisition of D-Fend Solutions, an Israeli-origin counter-drone technology company. The acquisition added D-Fend’s EnforceAir counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) technology to Motorola Solutions’ security portfolio. EnforceAir uses radio-frequency (RF) cyber-takeover technology to detect, identify, locate and track unauthorized drones, including their operators and take-off positions. The system can override a targeted drone’s control communications, assume control and direct it to land safely in a designated zone. D-Fend describes this as a non-kinetic approach designed to avoid disrupting authorized drone operations and surrounding communications infrastructure. EnforceAir can operate autonomously or manually, and its product family includes configurations combining RF cyber-takeover with radar and optional jamming capabilities.^{24, 25}

Motorola Solutions’ 20 August 2026 acquisition announcement explicitly confirmed plans to integrate D-Fend’s counter-drone technology into its broader public-safety ecosystem. The stated objective is to combine airspace protection with existing public-safety capabilities, giving frontline personnel improved situational awareness and enabling operators to assess and, where legally permitted, mitigate unauthorized drone threats. Motorola Solutions identified government agencies, emergency responders, critical-infrastructure operators and enterprise customers as relevant markets. The announcement also confirmed that D-Fend co-founder Zohar Halachmi would continue as D-Fend’s CEO and lead Motorola Solutions’ counter-drone platform as senior vice president, Counter-Drone Solutions. These statements establish completed corporate acquisition and declared integration intentions as of August 2026; they do not independently establish completion of specific product integrations or deployment of EnforceAir by Israeli military, police or settlement authorities.²⁴

Primary corporate documentation establishes that D-Fend Solutions AD Ltd. is an Israeli company operating from 13 Zarhin Street, Ra’anana, Israel. The Standards Institution of Israel’s ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certificate identifies the company by legal name, Israeli address and registration number 515600963, with certification initially approved on 11 February 2025 and valid until 11 February 2028. D-Fend’s own corporate terms independently identify its Israeli offices and Israeli governing law. Motorola Solutions’ 20 August 2026 announcement confirms completion of its $1.5 billion acquisition of D-Fend Solutions, following the definitive acquisition agreement disclosed in its 5 August 2026 financial-results filing. Consequently, as of 26 October 2026, the existing statement under “Acquisitions and investments” that no additional acquisition of an Israeli-domiciled technology company had been confirmed is contradicted by the documented D-Fend transaction. The later paragraphs under “Patents and research institutions” correctly record the completed acquisition, but their presence does not resolve that inconsistency in the earlier acquisition summary. The evidence establishes D-Fend’s Israeli corporate registration and completed acquisition; it does not independently establish the precise post-acquisition shareholding structure of every D-Fend group entity.^{26, 27, 24, 28}
