In addition to the provisional patent application, VisionWave has filed a U.S. trademark application for SDNN™ as part of its broader strategy to protect the intellectual-property foundation and brand identity associated with the Company’s emerging artificial intelligence architecture. The trademark application remains subject to USPTO examination, and registration is not guaranteed. The US patent application covers the Company’s SDNN™ - Symbiotic Deep Neural Network architecture. Internally, the Company has used the project code name “Mother” to refer to the central core layer of this architecture. SDNN™ is being developed as a proprietary AI framework intended to operate as a central reasoning and coordination layer for networks of distributed intelligent systems. The filing encompasses represents one of VisionWave’s most comprehensive intellectual property filings to date. The filing of a provisional patent application does not guarantee the issuance of a patent or any particular scope of claims. SDNN™ is intended to support the fusion of data from heterogeneous sensors, unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), satellite or external data feeds, relay nodes, and software agents. The architecture described in the filing is designed to support adaptive reasoning, confidence evaluation, coordinated tasking, and human-governed decision workflows across distributed operational networks. The Company believes SDNN™ may represent an important step in the development of multi-domain AI command-and-control and intelligent-system coordination architectures. Key Technical Innovations Described in the Filing The provisional application describes a system operating as a closed intelligence loop — Intent → Reason → Task → Execute → Feedback → Adapt → Repeat — with the following core technology areas: <ul><li>Multi-source data fusion — integration of RF, radar, EO/IR, thermal, and software-agent data streams into a continuously updated operational state.</li><li>qSpeed™ reasoning engine, a proprietary reasoning-acceleration framework intended to improve decision-cycle speed by prioritizing the most mission-critical computations first, scoring candidate reasoning tasks across dimensions such as decision relevance, urgency, risk/consequence, information gain, confidence impact, and resource cost.</li><li>Trust quarantine architecture, trust scoring, peer-consistency checking, anomaly detection, re-attestation workflows, audit trails, and human-notification processes for distributed network nodes.</li><li>Human-in-command governance, policy-enforced approval workflows intended to preserve human authority over consequential actions while enabling autonomous execution within pre-approved operational parameters.</li><li>The Cube™ hardware root of trust, a compact secure hardware module with embedded encrypted software/firmware, designed to physically activate and authenticate the SDNN™ system through biometric authentication, cryptographic processing, secure memory, secure boot validation, hardware random number generation, and tamper-detection mechanisms.</li><li>Degraded-mode resilience, adaptation protocols intended to support continuity of operation during node loss, communications degradation, or system faults. </li></ul> “SDNN™ represents a fundamental rethinking of how AI can coordinate distributed intelligent systems. Rather than relying on isolated point solutions operating independently, SDNN™ is being designed with the goal of serving as a unified intelligence layer that can fuse information, reason across an operational picture, coordinate networked nodes, and learn from each mission cycle, while preserving human authority over consequential decisions,” said Danny Rittman, Inventor and Chief Technology Architect, SDNN™. Broad Multi-Domain Applications The Company believes the SDNN™ architecture, if successfully developed and validated, may address significant challenges across a range of defense and civil application domains. The provisional application describes six use case categories: <ul><li>Counter-UAS and anti-drone defense - fusing RF direction-finding, surveillance radar, EO/IR, and thermal sensor data to support detection, classification, tracking, and operator decision workflows related to hostile or unidentified unmanned aerial systems.</li><li>Missile detection and interception decision-support - multi-sensor threat fusion and prioritized coordination support for low-altitude cruise and ballistic-threat environments.</li><li>UGV-based ground confirmation - coordination of unmanned ground vehicles to corroborate uncertain detections and dynamically update situational confidence.</li><li>Multi-robot industrial coordination - assignment, monitoring, and adaptive re-tasking of autonomous robotic systems across inspection, logistics, and manufacturing environments.</li><li>Smart city and civil infrastructure operations - fusion of traffic, environmental, and public-safety data streams to support operational optimization and multi-agency emergency response.</li><li>Autonomous spacecraft and long-duration mission management - conceptual applications including navigation support, crew-safety monitoring, life-support coordination, and emergency response management for autonomous space operations.</li></ul> “The filing of the SDNN™ US patent application is an important milestone in VisionWave’s intellectual property strategy and our vision for AI-driven defense and autonomous systems. SDNN™ is intended to serve as a foundational architecture for multi-domain command-and-control AI, and we are committed to advancing this technology while protecting the innovation our team has developed,” said Douglas Davis, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, VisionWave Holdings, Inc. The realization of any of these use cases is subject to substantial uncertainty and will require, among other things, successful completion of research and development, product integration, and validation activities that have not yet been completed; the Company’s ability to raise significant additional capital on acceptable terms, of which there can be no assurance; successful integration of the SDNN™ architecture with third-party hardware platforms, sensor systems, and operational networks; the ability to obtain and maintain necessary regulatory, export-control, and government-security approvals; the securing of defense or commercial contracts or purchase orders, which may require lengthy procurement cycles and governmental budget authorization; achievement of market acceptance in highly competitive defense and technology markets; and the absence of unforeseen technical, operational, or geopolitical obstacles. The Company is at an early stage of development with respect to SDNN™, has not generated revenue from this architecture, and may never successfully develop or commercialize it. There can be no assurance that the SDNN™ architecture will function as intended, be completed on the contemplated timeline, or prove suitable for any of the use cases described above. About the Provisional Patent Filing The provisional application (USPTO Application No. 64/082,410) was filed on June 4, 2026 and encompasses a 455-page specification and 23 engineering drawings covering the SDNN™ system architecture, including the central SDNN™ core layer internally code-named “Mother,” The Cube™ hardware root of trust, the qSpeed™ reasoning engine, trust quarantine and governance frameworks, symbiont node lifecycle management, and multi-domain use case specifications. VisionWave Holdings, Inc. is listed as applicant-assignee. The Company has 12 months from the provisional filing date to file a corresponding non-provisional utility patent application claiming priority to this date. The filing of a provisional patent application establishes a filing date and preserves the right to claim priority, but does not itself result in an issued patent and will not become a patent unless a corresponding non-provisional utility patent application is filed with the USPTO within twelve (12) months of the provisional filing date. The Company may not file such a non-provisional application on a timely basis, or at all. Even if a non-provisional application is filed, the USPTO may reject or substantially narrow the claims through examination, and there can be no assurance that any patent will be issued, that issued claims will cover the SDNN™ architecture as described or intended, or that any patent, if issued, will withstand challenge, reexamination, or invalidation proceedings. Patents, if issued, may be circumvented by competitors through design-around approaches, and the Company may lack sufficient resources to enforce its patent rights against infringers. Competitors may independently develop equivalent or superior technologies without infringing any patent the Company may obtain. The Company’s intellectual property may also be subject to claims of infringement by third parties, which could result in costly litigation, licensing obligations, or injunctions. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any patent protection obtained, if any, will provide meaningful competitive advantage, generate revenue, or justify the costs of prosecution and enforcement.
