Wichita, KS - Koch Disruptive Technologies (KDT) today announced it led a $109 million Series D financing round in Vayyar Imaging (Vayyar), the global leader in 4D radar imaging sensor technology. KDT led this new round with Regal Four and all existing investors, including Battery Ventures, Bessemer Ventures, ICV, ITI, WRVI Capital, and Claltech. Working closely with KDT through its unique partnership capabilities, Israel-based Vayyar will use this round's funds to further enhance its core technology, evolve its global footprint, and expand its offerings in key industries and geographies.

"KDT is excited to partner with Vayyar to help it accelerate its vision of providing people with transformative products that will improve their health, safety and quality of life," said Chase Koch, President of Koch Disruptive Technologies.
