VisionWave Successfully Completes UAE Five-Day Live-Fire Trial; EI™-Powered 4D Super-Resolution Radar Demonstrates APS Detection Under Operational Conditions
Live-fire campaign at a secure facility in Tawazun Industrial Park, Abu Dhabi, demonstrated millisecond track initiation and low false-positive rates in trial conditions.
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. and ABU DHABI, UAE, Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:VWAV) ("VisionWave" or the "Company") today announced results from an intensive five-day live-fire evaluation of its 4D super-resolution radar fused with the Company's Evolved Intelligence™ (EI) edge engine. Conducted at Tawazun Industrial Park (TIP) with a government-owned defense partner, the event demonstrated real-time detection, classification, and tracking of aerial and ballistic threats in operationally representative conditions.
What was demonstrated
- Precision at speed: The 4D radar (volumetric + Doppler) initiated tracks within milliseconds while maintaining low false-positive rates, potentially supporting cueing of hard- and soft-kill countermeasures.
- Super-resolution on difficult targets: Fine-grain localization and kinematic classification - including micro-motion and trajectory discrimination- supported detection of low-RCS (Radar Cross-Section), high-velocity projectiles in cluttered environments.
- Broad threat realism: Trial lanes spanned diverse RCS, velocities, and trajectories, from small-arms (e.g., 5.56mm, 7.62mm, 14.5mm, 40mm), to rockets, missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and hypersonic-class profiles, executed on an instrumented range with environmental stressors.
- Product maturity: The super-resolution radar is an integrated, qualified system that has been demonstrated in operationally representative conditions and is positioned for initial fielding, subject to customer validation and required approvals.
- Cost-effective path to scale: A SWaP-optimized (Size, Weight, and Power), modular design with open interfaces positions the product for manufacturability, integration, and lower total cost of ownership, with the goal of enabling cost-effective fleet-level fielding.
- Integration route: Data products from the radar are intended to integrate with client Active Protection System (APS) fire-control and Command-and-Control (C2) pipelines for layered survivability architectures.
- Customization & NRE: To address platform-specific requirements, Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) may be required for customization and integration; scope and milestones will be defined with the customer.
Management commentary
"Precision at speed is the standard," said Noam Kenig, Chief Executive Officer of VisionWave. "Our EI™-powered 4D super-resolution radar is built to detect, classify, and track fast, hard-to-detect threats in real time - serving as the detection layer for next-generation Active Protection System (APS) solutions intended to enhance protection. It combines accurate, multi-threat sensing, a wide field of view, high frame rates, and latency in the tens of milliseconds, along with very high resolution that differentiates it from conventional radars. In the UAE live-fire evaluation, we saw a system designed for millisecond decisions, low false-positive rates, and clean handoff to effectors - with a cost-effective path to scaled fielding."
Why it matters
- Differentiated capability: Millisecond decisions with low false-positive rates on small, fast, hard-to-detect projectiles under live-fire conditions indicate a distinctive detection capability for APS layers.
- Operational readiness: A ruggedized radar engineered for temperature, shock, vibration, and electronic-warfare (EW) clutter profiles, demonstrated under operationally representative conditions and intended to support performance in realistic scenarios, subject to customer validation and required approvals.
- NRE alignment: A customization and NRE framework will be designed to support platform-specific integration while maintaining a path to repeatable production.
- Pathway to production: Following these results, the parties intend to progress next-phase integration discussions and explore production collaboration, subject to partner validation, regulatory approvals (including export controls), contracting, and other contingencies. No assurances can be given as to timing or outcome.
