VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: VWAV) entered into a non‑binding letter of intent with Evie Autonomous Limited, a UK developer of autonomous mobility systems, to conduct a £500,000 proof‑of‑concept program that will integrate Evie’s autonomous vehicle technology onto VisionWave’s Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) platforms. The collaboration, announced on December 12, 2025, is designed to test advanced navigation, mission execution, and multi‑sensor fusion capabilities on VisionWave’s newly unveiled Varan UGV platform.
The partnership follows VisionWave’s July 2025 de‑SPAC listing and the expansion of its UGV research and development team in London. By combining Evie’s proven autonomous pod technology—used, for example, in passenger transport at Heathrow Airport—with VisionWave’s high‑resolution sensing and AI‑driven control systems, the company aims to create a more capable, modular UGV that can operate in complex, contested environments. The proof‑of‑concept is slated to begin in 2026, contingent on definitive agreements, and could position VisionWave to capture European demand for autonomous ground systems in the coming years.
Douglas Davis, Executive Chairman, said the discussions with Evie began in August 2025 as part of VisionWave’s broader effort to accelerate its autonomous portfolio. “The collaboration aligns with our multi‑domain autonomy strategy and could open a new commercial revenue stream for the company,” he added. VisionWave remains a pre‑revenue firm, but the partnership represents a significant step toward monetizing its technology and diversifying its customer base beyond government contracts.
The market has responded positively to the announcement, with analysts noting the strategic significance of the partnership and the potential for VisionWave to leverage its advanced sensing and AI capabilities in a new product segment. The collaboration also signals VisionWave’s intent to expand its footprint in Europe, a region that is increasingly investing in autonomous ground systems for both defense and commercial applications.
Looking ahead, VisionWave plans to use the proof‑of‑concept to validate the integration of Evie’s autonomy stack, refine its sensor fusion algorithms, and demonstrate end‑to‑end mission execution in realistic field environments. Successful completion of the program could lead to a definitive agreement and the launch of a commercial UGV offering in 2027, providing VisionWave with a new revenue stream and strengthening its position in the growing autonomous ground systems market.
