Arlo Industries on the record

What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: Arlo Industries is building a network of sensors that precisely tracks stealthy drones and aerial threats better than radars. This capability does not exist yet because traditional radars are built on past war doctrines designed to protect single, centralised assets. Modern warfare, however, demands wide-area, persistent coverage that is both passive and economically scalable. By utilising a mesh architecture, Arlo Industries unlocks unprecedented asymmetric economics. (source)
  • Its own site describes it as: "Arlo Industries builds a passive, decentralised aerial sensing mesh that delivers real-time 3D tracking of drones and missiles without radar. Nothing to jam, nothing to detect. Backed by Y Combinator." (source)

Who is behind it

  • Deo Arlo (Iron Dome Guy), Founder/CEO: Deo is the Founder and CEO of Arlo Industries. He studied Mechanical Engineering at Technion Israel (birthplace of the Iron Dome) and lived there for over 6 years under multiple wars. As a Robotics Researcher at Technion, he developed and patented a novel robotic invention that spun out into a venture-backed company. (source)
  • 2 open roles listed on its YC jobs page when the profile was read (2026-09-05). (source)
