Zorronet Puts AI Command-and-Control on the Front Lines

NETANYA, Israel – May 06, 2026 – In a move set to transform field operations, BiomX subsidiary Zorronet today launched a secure mobile application that places its powerful AI-driven command-and-control system directly into the hands of operators. The announcement, however, signals more than just a product release; it represents a cornerstone of parent company BiomX Inc.'s dramatic strategic pivot from a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical firm into an AI-powered defense technology platform.

The new application, now available on both the Google Play and Apple App Stores, aims to solve a critical challenge for security, defense, and emergency response teams: data overload and fragmented communication. By connecting disparate systems of cameras, sensors, drones, and IoT devices into a single, intelligent network, Zorronet promises to replace operational chaos with structured, real-time intelligence.

From Biotech to Battlefield Tech: BiomX's Strategic Overhaul

Until recently, BiomX Inc. (NYSE: PHGE) was known in financial and medical circles as a clinical-stage company developing phage therapies for chronic diseases. However, in a stunning corporate transformation, the company has completely remade itself. Following the acquisition of 100% of Zorronet in April 2026, BiomX has systematically exited its legacy biotech operations, halted all clinical trials, and installed an entirely new management team and board.

This strategic overhaul positions BiomX as an emerging player in the defense, security, and rescue sectors. The acquisition of Zorronet, an Israeli AI defense technology firm with established credentials, was a key first step. The company has since expanded its portfolio to include other defense-focused assets, signaling a clear, acquisition-led strategy to build a diversified technology platform for a new era of security challenges. This move into the burgeoning AI security market is a calculated bet on the increasing demand for integrated, intelligent systems in both government and commercial sectors.

Unifying a Fragmented Battlefield with AI

In modern operational environments, personnel on the ground are often inundated with alerts from multiple, disconnected systems. To coordinate, they frequently resort to consumer-grade messaging apps, which are fast but introduce significant privacy risks, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and a lack of structured command. Zorronet was engineered to eliminate this fragmentation.

The system’s AI core ingests, classifies, and validates data from countless sources in real time. Instead of presenting raw data streams, it delivers structured, role-specific alerts and updates. A security operator in the field sees only the information pertinent to their immediate task and location, while a central commander maintains a comprehensive operational view. The new mobile app extends this capability from a static control room to any operator with a smartphone.

“At Zorronet, we listen to the needs of the people in the field, specifically the people on the ground and security experts,” said Idan Wasserman, CEO of Zorronet. “We are proud to have successfully designed and developed an application that combines the newest worlds of security, command-and-control, AI, and operational communication with what operators on the ground are looking for. We tested the application alongside leading security professionals in real operational scenarios, and built a system that not only delivers information, but helps users understand what is happening and what to do next in real time.”

Proven in the Field: From Railways to Defense

While the mobile application is new, Zorronet's underlying technology is already battle-tested and proven in high-stakes environments. The company’s autonomous surveillance and threat-detection systems are actively deployed at Israel Defense Forces bases and other critical national security sites. It also serves as a key technology provider for Tier-1 defense OEMs, including Elbit Systems, underscoring its credibility within the demanding defense industry.

A notable public success story is its large-scale project with Israel Railways. Initially launched as a pilot to prevent collisions by keeping large animals off railway tracks, the system achieved a 98% success rate. The AI was adapted to not only detect wildlife but also identify human encroachment near the tracks, assess risk levels, and trigger automated responses or alerts to personnel. Following this success, Zorronet was awarded a framework supply agreement to expand the installation of its AI-enabled alert stations, safeguarding both national infrastructure and lives.

This real-world effectiveness demonstrates the platform's adaptability and power, moving it from a theoretical concept to a proven asset for critical infrastructure protection.

Tapping a Multi-Billion Dollar Market

BiomX's strategic pivot is anchored in substantial market opportunity. The global command and control systems market is projected to reach approximately $44 billion by 2030, with the complementary video analytics market expected to surpass $37 billion in the same timeframe. These figures reflect a growing global demand for integrated situational awareness and AI-enabled decision support.

By launching the mobile app, Zorronet significantly expands its addressable market, democratizing a capability that was once the exclusive domain of expensive, centralized command centers. This extension allows for more agile and responsive execution, a critical factor as security systems become more complex and data-intensive.

“Zorronet’s system is already deployed across defense and infrastructure where real-time decision-making is critical,” said Michael Oster, CEO of BiomX. “Extending this capability to mobile devices enables more responsive execution, as systems become more complex and data-intensive. This is a natural extension of Zorronet’s proven software-driven capabilities that connect detection, analysis, and response into a single, unified system.”

The application's launch marks a significant milestone for both Zorronet and its new parent company, BiomX, as they work to deliver on a vision of a more connected, intelligent, and secure operational landscape.
