VisionWave Expands IP Portfolio and Files Patent for WaveStrike — RF Computer-Vision Fire-Control Built for Real-World Combat Environments

Extends Vision-RF sensing technology into soldier- and vehicle-level fire-control that performs day or night, in all weather, and through obscurants — without exposing the operator

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Nov. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: VWAV) (“VisionWave” or the “Company”) today announced the filing of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/892,721, titled “AI-Assisted Multi-Modal RF Fire-Control System for All-Domain Target Engagement.”

The new application expands VisionWave’s Vision-RF patent portfolio with a rifle-mountable RF-sensing module that converts radio-frequency (RF) returns into real-time, visualized situational awareness and predictive fire-control cues.

Operating day and night and in all weather or obscured conditions where electro-optical “smart” sights may experience degraded performance, the system’s RF-based, AI-driven computer-vision engine transforms complex RF scene data into a simple red/green “fire-eligible” cue and predictive-lead solution for soldier weapons, vehicle turrets, remote-weapon stations (RWS), and potential future air- and sea-platform integrations.

Why RF-Native Fire-Control Matters

WaveStrike, built on VisionWave’s multi-patented Vision-RF core technology, transforms RF waveforms into image-like data without the use of cameras.

This RF-first approach provides inherent range and Doppler information, enabling intended detection, classification, tracking, and firing-solution computation against moving or static threats — even in various environmental conditions, including reduced visibility.

By contrast, optics-based systems rely on infrared illumination at night and laser rangefinders to calculate distance — techniques that may increase the risk of exposing a soldier’s position and experience performance degradation in obscurants, making them less effective for certain combat conditions.

VisionWave’s RF-native design requires no active IR or laser emissions, minimizing tactical signature while aiming to support sustained target tracking and fire-control decision-making. Because the system measures range as part of the RF solution itself, it is designed to provide range-informed targeting under certain conditions.

“With extensive combat experience, it’s clear that systems must be built to perform in real combat environments — day and night — allowing operators to see the unseen from a safe distance,” said Noam Kenig, Chief Executive Officer of VisionWave. “WaveStrike brings RF-native computer vision to the sensor-to-shooter loop, with the goal of reducing engagement timelines and supporting improved first-shot probability regardless of weather or visibility — all without exposing the operator.

By eliminating dependence on active optics and providing a clear, operator-centric cue, we’re delivering a potentially advantageous capability that is intended to operate in conditions where optical systems may be limited — across soldier weapons, vehicle turrets, RWS platforms, and ultimately air and maritime systems.”

How WaveStrike and Vision-RF Work (Technical Highlights)

• RF Computer Vision: RF waveforms are reconstructed into a dense 3-D scene fused by VisionWave’s Evolved Intelligence™ (EI) on-edge stack, intended to enable range-informed target localization.
• Edge Cognitive Fire-Control: Low-latency AI filters clutter, sustains lock in dense environments, and computes predictive aim points and lead solutions for agile aerial and ground threats.
• Human-in-the-Loop: Micro-correction arrows and a red-to-green confidence indicator ensure the operator remains firmly in control.
• ROE & Accountability: Customizable rules-of-engagement logic and tamper-evident logs provide auditability and command oversight.
• Modular Scalability: Architecture is designed to scale from compact rifle modules to crew-served weapons, vehicle integrations, naval arrays, and networked RWS clusters.

“Vision-RF reconstructs stabilized, visualized feeds in real time by converting RF returns through a temporal-spatial EI stack,” said Dr. Danny Rittman, Chief Technology Officer of VisionWave. “That native 3-D RF data provides range and motion cues that optical systems simply can’t replicate in degraded environments. WaveStrike uses this to deliver predictive fire-control recommendations — even in certain material-penetrating scenarios — while keeping operators safely out of harm’s way.”

Planned Development and Trials

VisionWave plans to advance development of Vision-RF following Q4 2025, began advanced system development of Vision-RF in Q4 2025, following completion of a functional prototype that demonstrated RF signal reconstruction into visualized outputs in controlled settings.

Field trials with select defense agencies are currently anticipated in 2026, including demonstrations of soldier-scale rifle modules, vehicle integrations, and RWS implementations as part of an incremental qualification program.

Why This Matters to Operators and Programs

• Persistent Sensing: RF-native solutions are designed to support detection and tracking when optical systems experience reduced performance.
• Lower Tactical Signature: No IR illuminators or laser rangefinders —reduce active emissions.
• Broader Operating Envelope: Day/night, all-weather, and through-obscurant performance aims to support extended operational conditions.
• Networked Scalability: Modular design supports rapid integration across dismounted, vehicle, and fixed-site platforms.
