DR Verificerer has examined the company Varuna's website (https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvaruna-project.com%2F&data=05%7C02%7CISE%40dr.dk%7C51288fe9261d4f51a9fe08df38e34ca5%7Cfa7681ea962f4d1dad37f1279d621aed%7C1%7C0%7C639292221020883349%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=A3AwuWcfBYo1UCeVYioxB5qOMLmWzzz14ksyufmbFY0%3D&reserved=0).
We may not know much about Varuna, but technological traces on the website point toward another company that we know considerably more about.
In Varuna's website source code, we can see, among other things, that they run on the same technical platform and web server as another company with links to Israel: Azimut AI (https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.azimut.ai%2F&data=05%7C02%7CISE%40dr.dk%7C51288fe9261d4f51a9fe08df38e34ca5%7Cfa7681ea962f4d1dad37f1279d621aed%7C1%7C0%7C639292221020904431%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=ubTDPLReMu%2Bxq9Q9PfsQMhJQf7ExCq%2BLicEFgZ46gDY%3D&reserved=0).
The two founders of Azimut AI themselves state on their LinkedIn (https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fmatan-saat%2F&data=05%7C02%7CISE%40dr.dk%7C51288fe9261d4f51a9fe08df38e34ca5%7Cfa7681ea962f4d1dad37f1279d621aed%7C1%7C0%7C639292221020917883%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=FwRSF5z5buwJelo1YaZ1giUxUQ56Ml7fADk4GuGjZXA%3D&reserved=0) profiles (https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fadigal1%2F&data=05%7C02%7CISE%40dr.dk%7C51288fe9261d4f51a9fe08df38e34ca5%7Cfa7681ea962f4d1dad37f1279d621aed%7C1%7C0%7C639292221020931214%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=jErfq8uhZupZVhKtSBCe%2BsE%2BQwoLHKIZ7cVWu%2FL3wg0%3D&reserved=0) that they were previously part of the Israeli Navy and intelligence service.
Azimut AI's technology combines radar signals with images from coastal cameras, with a particular focus on ships that have turned off or falsified their radar signal. According to the website, the technology is already in use in the Israeli port city of Ashdod.
According to the company's LinkedIn page, Azimut AI employs a total of 13 people, all of whom state on LinkedIn that they are located in Israel.
