Utilis has collected the largest global confirmed database of locations of subsurface water leaks, containing more than 35,000 leaks in more than 50 countries in six continents, all based on L-band SAR analysis and detection. This unique database, along with the L-band SAR satellite imagery available, provides both opportunities and challenges for developing new AI-based technologies and products. Utilis will remain focused on their core capabilities of SAR-based analytics, and expand capabilities by way of partnerships, turn-key solutions, and in-house development.
Sharony’s work is fueled by his curious nature. He is an explorer and a certified Nitrox diver, where he has Nitrox-dived in top diving destinations across the world, including in the Red Sea, the Caribbean, and the Galapagos Islands. Sharony will be based in Israel, where he lives with his wife and son.
