VisionWave completes UAE live-fire trial of 4D radar system

ABU DHABI - VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:VWAV), a micro-cap defense technology company with a market capitalization of $7.65 million, has completed a five-day live-fire evaluation of its 4D super-resolution radar system at Tawazun Industrial Park in Abu Dhabi, the company announced Tuesday. The announcement comes as the stock has experienced a 15.35% decline over the past week, according to InvestingPro data.

The testing, conducted with an unnamed government-owned defense partner, demonstrated the radar’s capabilities in detecting, classifying, and tracking aerial and ballistic threats in operationally representative conditions. The company’s relatively low beta of 0.15 suggests stable stock performance compared to market volatility, making it an interesting player in the defense sector.

According to the company’s press release, the system initiated tracks within milliseconds while maintaining low false-positive rates. The trials included various threat scenarios ranging from small-arms projectiles to rockets, missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and hypersonic-class profiles.

"Our EI-powered 4D super-resolution radar is built to detect, classify, and track fast, hard-to-detect threats in real time," said Noam Kenig, Chief Executive Officer of VisionWave.

The system combines volumetric sensing with Doppler capabilities and is designed to support Active Protection System (APS) solutions. The company stated the radar demonstrated fine-grain localization and kinematic classification of low-radar cross-section, high-velocity projectiles in cluttered environments.

VisionWave described the system as ruggedized for temperature, shock, vibration, and electronic-warfare conditions. The company indicated it has a modular design with open interfaces intended to facilitate integration with client systems.

Following these results, the company said the parties intend to progress to next-phase integration discussions and explore production collaboration, subject to partner validation, regulatory approvals, and other contingencies.

Based on information from the press release, no specific timeline or financial details regarding potential contracts were disclosed.
