(Nasdaq: VWAV), a global developer of autonomous unmanned systems and AI-powered perception software, on June 15th opened its first-ever international defense exhibition presence at <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=wfz6trVl5dLFk72M6WTS-ni9hFyIk2hU9-mJLN3ISsMoSww97TBWf-AKl9Z4p5xTPVJhmt5K62kxV8kRxKvCngki7y6aunZTRUWo_eBcLVk=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Eurosatory 2026">Eurosatory 2026</a>, the world’s foremost land and airland defense and security exhibition, held at Paris Nord Villepinte, France. The Company is exhibiting at Booth Pe5a Ext6 across all five days of the show, June 15–19, 2026, with live demonstrations of the VARAN™ Autonomous Ground System running throughout the exhibition. Today’s opening marks the first time VARAN™ has been presented to the international defense community as a fully developed, physical product, alongside VisionWave’s passive battlefield perception architecture and the STRATUM™ AI operational management platform, which incorporates the Company’s acquired qSpeed™ computational acceleration intellectual property. In addition, the company has integrated a unique optical and thermal computer vision sensing layer to its STRATUM™ AI platform, as part of a recently announced collaboration with Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: FRSX). Foresight's camera-based stereo and thermal perception, proven across automotive and defense programs, were swiftly integrated into VARAN™, provided an additional innovative advantage to the product. VisionWave deployed a team of eleven to Paris for the exhibition, including five members of the Company’s Board of Directors and one member of its Advisory Board, representing the largest and most senior international deployment in the Company’s history, and a direct statement of the strategic significance the Board places on Eurosatory 2026 as a launchpad for VARAN™. <img alt="Caption: VisionWave’s eleven-person team, including five directors and one Advisory Board member" data-mce-style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" height="451" src="https://ml.globenewswire.com/Resource/Download/11fbec78-afd6-420f-9c38-1202d717d727/image1.jpeg" style="display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;" width="800" data-dpi="96" data-caption="VisionWave’s eleven-person team, including five directors and one Advisory Board member — photographed at Booth Pe5a Ext6, Paris Nord Villepinte, on Day 1 of Eurosatory 2026, June 15, 2026.

VARAN™ is live, it is here, and every defense decision-maker walking through this exhibition can see it, touch it, and question it. We built this platform from the ground up, every system, every design decision, every line of code, and today we are showing it to the world for the first time. The team we have brought to Paris reflects how seriously we take this moment.” Douglas Davis, Executive Chairman &amp; CEO, VisionWave Holdings, Inc. LIVE AT EUROSATORY 2026 VARAN™ Autonomous Ground System: First International Public Debut VARAN™ is VisionWave’s next-generation modular autonomous unmanned ground vehicle, designed and engineered in the United Kingdom and developed entirely in-house from the ground up. Eurosatory 2026 marks its first presentation to the international defense community as a working, physical prototype. The platform is engineered around a core operational principle: it must be able to operate effectively in the conditions where most autonomous ground systems fail. GPS-denied and electronically jammed environments are treated not as edge cases but as the design baseline. VARAN™ navigates using cameras, thermal imaging, and passive 3D vision, planning its route onboard and continuing to operate autonomously when the communications link is degraded or absent — without emitting the radar, LiDAR, or active RF signals that adversary electronic warfare systems can detect, locate, and target. The platform’s height-adjustable chassis on extendable wheel arms automatically modifies the vehicle’s stance to match the terrain — running low and fast across open ground and rising to clear water, rubble, and urban obstacles without operator input. Each wheel drives independently, enabling the vehicle to rotate on the spot in confined spaces. A single chassis is designed to be field-reconfigured across eight distinct mission profiles without returning to a depot.

We started from the operator in the field, not the engineer in the depot. The result is a platform that keeps working when the link drops, the GPS dies, or the ground gets trickier.” Jeremy Williman, British inventor of VARAN™ and Managing Director, VisionWave UK &amp; Europe AI &amp; PERCEPTION ARCHITECTURE STRATUM™ AI Ecosystem and Passive Battlefield Perception Alongside VARAN™, VisionWave is presenting the STRATUM™ AI operational management platform: the connected intelligence layer designed to orchestrate and supervise VisionWave’s family of air and ground autonomous systems as a coordinated operational unit. STRATUM™ is being developed to provide real-time mission control and decision support across fleets of unmanned vehicles, processing and communicating field data with the speed and situational awareness that modern contested environments demand. VARAN™ operates as the flagship platform of the STRATUM™ ecosystem, which is designed to connect autonomous ground vehicles, aerial systems, counter-drone capability, and passive battlefield sensing within a single open-architecture framework, sharing common parts, training pipelines, and sustainment infrastructure across the platform family. The passive perception architecture integrated within VARAN™ — combining visible-spectrum stereo vision, thermal imaging, and AI-driven 3D terrain interpretation — provides the platform’s foundational autonomy capability: the ability to see, understand, and navigate a contested environment without emitting any detectable signature. This architecture is a core component of the STRATUM™ ecosystem’s shared sensing layer across platforms. TECHNOLOGY ASSET qSpeed™: Acquired Computational Acceleration IP Integrated into STRATUM™ VisionWave is also presenting to Eurosatory attendees the Company’s qSpeed™ computational acceleration architecture, acquired intellectual property being developed for integration into the STRATUM™ AI platform. qSpeed™ is designed to reduce latency across mission-critical decision workflows by prioritizing decision-critical computation paths — enabling systems to produce rapid initial insights that can be further refined through subsequent processing cycles. In the context of autonomous defense systems, the ability to compress decision cycles is a direct operational advantage. qSpeed™ is being developed with targeted applications in RF-informed fire-control workflows, counter-UAS coordination systems, intercept analysis and targeting, and cybersecurity detection and response. The technology is currently in proof-of-concept development and is being showcased at Eurosatory 2026 as part of VisionWave’s broader technology portfolio. CORPORATE PRESENCE Board-Level International Deployment VisionWave’s Eurosatory 2026 team of eleven represents the most significant international corporate deployment in the Company’s history. The delegation includes five members of the Board of Directors and one Advisory Board member, alongside employees and specialist consultants supporting live demonstrations and partner briefings across the five-day exhibition. The senior composition of the delegation reflects the Board’s direct engagement with the Company’s defense market strategy and the importance placed on VARAN’s international launch. Private partner briefings are available throughout the exhibition by appointment for procurement officials, capability planners, national integrators, and end-user representatives.
