Revealense appoints Major General (Res.) Dr. Yacov Bengo as Head of Defense

Revealense, an Israeli startup specializing in AI-based technology for analyzing and understanding behavioral DNA in video footage, has announced the appointment of Major General (Res.) Dr. Yacov Bengo as Head of Defense. In this role, Dr. Bengo, who previously served as an advisor to the company’s board, will lead the company’s defense operations, managing relationships with militaries, governments, intelligence agencies, and defense industries worldwide.

Major General (Res.) Dr. Yacov Bengo’s distinguished military career includes serving as Head of the IDF’s Planning Directorate, Commander of the Northern Corps, Commander of the Ground Forces’ Multidimensional Integrated Maneuver Division and Head of the Torah and Training Division of the Operations Directorate. He also commanded the Ga’ash Formation and the 7th Armored Brigade. Dr. Bengo holds a Ph.D. from Bar-Ilan University.

Revealense’s technology provides in-depth human behavior analysis capabilities, enhancing the performance of security forces in training, intelligence gathering, threat detection, and defense. The company’s solutions support military and defense organizations with simulation-based training, combat readiness, border control, monitoring and processing of intelligence data, identification of hostile entities, and more.

Additionally, the technology is employed by military medical corps to diagnose trauma, assess mental resilience, and identify the development of depression or suicidal tendencies.

Dov Donin, Founder and CEO of Revealense, commented:
“The appointment of Dr. Bengo is a significant step in expanding our activities in the defense sector, driven by growing demand from security organizations worldwide seeking advanced solutions for their evolving needs. Dr. Bengo’s extensive and unique expertise will be a key driver of our continued growth in the rapidly expanding defense market, which forms a strategic part of our operations.”

Founded in 2021 by Dov Donin, Revealense operates as a bootstrap company with a team of 10 experts from fields such as psychology, neuropsychology, mathematics, AI, computer vision, and physics.

The company’s flagship product, the Illuminator system, uses AI to analyze human behavior in live or recorded video footage. For the first time in this field, the system can identify the precise context of a video, such as open conversations, credibility assessments, interrogations, or mental state evaluations, applying tailored algorithms to each specific scenario.

The system generates a mental DNA profile of the subject, enabling managers, investigators, and psychologists to make informed, accurate, and fair decisions. A unique feature of the system is an additional neural network that performs cross-referencing of various parameters to validate findings, ensure consistency, and calibrate results. This patented technology addresses shortcomings in competing solutions, which often rely on single or disconnected metrics without cross-validation
