VisionWave Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire Controlling Interest in Meteor Aerospace

Proposed Acquisition Would Expand VisionWave into Advanced Unmanned Systems, Electronic Warfare, C4ISR and National Defense Architecture Solutions

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif., June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: VWAV) (“VisionWave” or the “Company”), a defense technology company developing advanced artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and next-generation security technologies, today announced that it has entered into a definitive binding agreement to acquire a 51% controlling interest in Meteor Aerospace Ltd., a privately held Israeli aerospace and defense company recognized for its portfolio of advanced unmanned systems, precision defense technologies and integrated national security solutions.

Under the agreement, Meteor Aerospace is valued at a pre-money equity valuation of $40 million. Upon satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including successful flight validation of Meteor’s Impact-700 unmanned aerial platform and completion of legal, financial and technical due diligence, VisionWave will acquire 51% of Meteor through the issuance of VisionWave common stock having an aggregate value of approximately $20.4 million.

Founded by Itzhak Nissan, former President and Chief Executive Officer of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), Meteor Aerospace has developed a diversified portfolio of aerospace and defense technologies, including:

  • Tactical and strategic unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs);
  • Unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs);
  • Unmanned surface vessels (USVs);
  • Long-range precision loitering munition systems;
  • Electronic warfare (EW) and SIGINT technologies;
  • Command, Control, Communications, Cyber and Battlefield Management (C4ISR) systems;
  • Integrated sovereign defense and homeland security architectures.

Unlike traditional defense manufacturers focused on a single product category, Meteor has positioned itself as an integrated defense technology company capable of delivering complete multi-domain operational solutions spanning air, land, sea and electronic warfare environments.

Upon completion of the transaction, VisionWave expects to obtain a controlling interest in Meteor Aerospace, appoint a majority of its Board of Directors and integrate Meteor’s technologies into VisionWave’s rapidly expanding global defense technology platform.

The agreement also provides for the continued involvement of Meteor founder Itzhak Nissan, who is expected to continue leading Meteor’s technological activities following closing as Chief Technology Director.

Douglas Davis, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of VisionWave, stated:

“This agreement represents and the proposed transaction will represent a significant strategic milestone in VisionWave’s history assuming we are able to close the transaction. This proposed transaction just does not represent another defense company—we would be adding decades of aerospace engineering excellence, advanced autonomous platforms, electronic warfare capabilities, battlefield command-and-control technologies and a highly experienced management team with an exceptional heritage in the global defense industry.”

Mr. Davis continued:

“Combined with VisionWave’s existing artificial intelligence, advanced sensing and defense technology initiatives, we believe this transaction has the potential to create a diversified defense technology platform capable of addressing rapidly growing global demand for autonomous systems, integrated battlefield solutions and sovereign security modernization.”

The proposed acquisition remains subject to customary closing conditions, including successful completion of the agreed flight validation – which is a material event, satisfactory due diligence and other conditions contained in the definitive acquisition agreement. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed on the terms described, or at all.
