Evolution into a Four-Layer Sensing Architecture
Since its March 30 update, VisionWave has materially expanded its platform architecture. With the acquisition of xClibre™ and the proposed investment in Foresight Autonomous Holdings (FRSX), the Company has moved from a primarily RF-based platform toward an integrated multi-modal intelligence stack combining RF detection, stereo/thermal computer vision, and AI video analytics — unified through autonomous C2 and decision pipelines.
| 01 RF Sensing Layer VisionWave RF — wide-area, all-weather detection; foundational sensing layer (VisionRF™) | 02 Computer Vision Foresight (FRSX) — stereo vision, thermal imaging, 3D obstacle detection (pending closing)* | 03 AI Video Intelligence xClibre™ — behavioral analytics, real-time alerting, forensic search; edge-first architecture | 04 Autonomous Platforms Argus counter-UAS, interceptor drones, UGVs, fixed-site deployments via C2 pipelines, commercial infrastructure use cases |
* Subject to execution of definitive agreements, due diligence, regulatory/Nasdaq/shareholder approvals, and satisfaction of all closing conditions; there can be no assurance the transaction will be completed).
The architecture is designed to reduce false-positive rates while accelerating detection-to-decision timelines. RF identifies a threat; Foresight’s optics confirm location and trajectory; xClibre™ provides behavioral context and classification; VisionWave’s autonomous C2 executes response.
Commercial Momentum: First Homeland Security Revenue
On April 2, 2026, VisionWave announced its first signed purchase order from a Latin American public safety organization — converting prior government technology presentations into commercial deployment. The order covers drone-based operational systems and integrated payload technologies, and represents VisionWave’s transition from demonstration phase to initial revenue generation.
The Company previously conducted a series of technical presentations to senior government officials in the region focused on homeland security and public safety applications (announced March 16, 2026). No binding agreements had resulted from those presentations at the time of the March 30 corporate update; the signed purchase order represents the first conversion of those engagements.

Transaction Summary
On April 10, 2026, VisionWave completed the acquisition of
Strategic Rationale
Prior to the xClibre acquisition, VisionWave’s sensing architecture relied primarily on RF-based detection. xClibre adds a visual perception and behavioral intelligence layer designed to complement the RF stack. Core xClibre capabilities include:
- Behavioral analytics and pattern recognition on video streams
- Real-time alerting and forensic search capabilities
- Event-to-action pipeline; edge-first architecture with no cloud dependency
- AI agents that continuously learn from existing camera infrastructure
A structured proof-of-concept with an industry partner is underway, targeting completion in H2 2026.
Proposed Strategic Investment: Foresight Autonomous Holdings (FRSX)
Transaction Summary
On April 21, 2026, VisionWave announced a signed non-binding term sheet for a strategic investment in Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq & TASE: FRSX). Under the terms:
- VisionWave will acquire up to
51% of Foresight’s outstanding shares in two stages:45% at initial closing, with an additional6% contingent on commencement of a qualifying defense or security sector pilot - Consideration:
$17.5 million in VisionWave common stock, priced on a five-day average VWAP - VisionWave receives two board seats at Stage 1 and one additional seat at Stage 2
- Both companies remain independent, publicly traded entities
- Definitive agreement targeted within 30 days; Stage 1 closing within 45 days thereafter
- Subject to due diligence, negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, receipt of all required regulatory, Nasdaq, TASE, and shareholder approvals (including any approvals required under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635 or otherwise), and other customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that the definitive agreement will be executed or that the transaction will close on the contemplated terms or at all.
Strategic Rationale
Foresight develops advanced 3D perception systems including stereo vision, thermal imaging, and 3D obstacle detection — proven across automotive and defense programs. Its subsidiary Eye-Net Mobile develops V2X collision prevention and smart automotive systems. The Foresight investment adds a camera-based computer vision layer to VisionWave’s RF foundation, creating a heterogeneous sensing stack where each modality strengthens the others.
"We are not building another sensor company. We are building a solutions platform, using our intelligence layer that sits above sensors — one that can take inputs from various resources including RF, cameras, thermal imaging, and AI video analytics, and translates them securely and at high speed into decisions and actions. The intended Foresight investment and the xClibre acquisition are the two building blocks that make that architecture real."
— Douglas Davis, Executive Chairman & CEO

Intellectual Property: Non-Provisional Patent Application Filed
Patent Application: “AI-Assisted Multi-Modal RF Fire Control System for All-Domain Target Engagement” Non-Provisional Serial No. 19/652,090 • Filed: April 20, 2026 • Priority: Provisional Serial No. 63/892,721 (Filed October 3, 2025)
On April 20, 2026, VisionWave filed a non-provisional U.S. patent application titled “AI-Assisted Multi-Modal RF Fire Control System for All-Domain Target Engagement” (Serial No. 19/652,090), claiming priority to provisional application Serial No. 63/892,721 filed October 3, 2025. The patent describes an advanced fire-control and target-engagement architecture using multi-planar RF sensing, AI-based target interpretation, volumetric 3D scene reconstruction, and predictive ballistic guidance — designed to operate in conditions where conventional optical and infrared systems may be degraded by darkness, smoke, dust, fog, clutter, or adverse weather.
Core System Architecture
The invention integrates an RF transceiver and directional multi-planar antenna array, synchronized receive chain, signal-processing stack, target tracking and fusion subsystem, volumetric 3D point-cloud generation, and an AI cognitive engine. RF reflections are transformed into structured measurement data, fused into a 3D scene representation, and processed by AI for classification, prediction, confirmation, and operator cueing. The operator interface is built around simplified engagement cues — directional guidance arrows and a Red-to-Green confidence state — designed to reduce cognitive load in high-speed engagement scenarios.
Dual-Network AI Architecture
A key aspect of the filing is its dual-network AI design:
- Temporal neural network — analyzes time-varying RF returns, clutter behavior, and micro-Doppler signatures
- Spatial neural network — analyzes reconstructed geometric scene data and volumetric target structure
- Dedicated CNN architecture for real-time object detection and identification
This symbiotic framework combines motion intelligence, spatial reconstruction, and confidence-rated classification into a unified fire-control workflow — enabling richer target understanding than a conventional single-network approach.
Additional Technical Features
The filing also covers agile low-probability-of-intercept waveforms, ECCM and jammer-aware processing, multipath-aware localization, track fusion, rules-of-engagement gating, tamper-evident logging, and confidence-based decision logic. Methods described include converting RF returns into range-Doppler features, micro-Doppler signatures, 3D point clouds, vectorized target representations, and predictive intercept solutions.
Scalability & Domain Coverage
The architecture is designed to scale from a compact add-on for small arms to an integrated module for larger weapon systems, remote weapon stations, anti-drone platforms, crew-served weapons, and fixed-site deployments. The patent covers detection, classification, and tracking across air, land, subsurface, and underwater domains — while preserving a human-in-command operating model.
"Modern battlefields increasingly demand sensing and engagement systems that work beyond traditional line-of-sight limitations. This patent filing reflects our effort to advance an RF- and AI-driven fire-control framework that can move beyond conventional optics by sensing through challenging conditions, reconstructing a volumetric understanding of the scene, and delivering intuitive, high-value engagement guidance to the operator."
— Douglas Davis, Executive Chairman & CEO
VisionWave believes this filing strengthens its IP position in AI-assisted RF sensing, volumetric target reconstruction, predictive engagement support, and multi-domain defense autonomy. Potential future product pathways include counter-UAS, force protection, remote weapon systems, and all-weather targeting assistance — subject to technical development, validation, regulatory considerations, funding, and market conditions.
Strategic Roadmap — Near-Term Priorities
- Advance WaveStrike™ patent (Serial No. 19/652,090) through prosecution; explore commercialization pathways in counter-UAS, force protection, and all-weather targeting
- Complete xClibre™ proof-of-concept with industry partner (H2 2026 target)
- Execute Foresight definitive agreement (30-day target) and Stage 1 closing (45 days thereafter)
- Advance SaverOne Stages 2 and 3 milestone gating
- Finalize C.M. Composite Materials acquisition closing (pending — subject to all conditions precedent)
- Continue commercial deployment from Latin American public safety order; expand regional pipeline
- Advance counter-UAS Argus™ platform integrating RF + visual perception layers
- Continue global expansion in India, Europe, and the Middle East
- Ongoing development of QuantumSpeed™ / QSpeed™ computational acceleration architecture
