VisionWave announced a follow‑on hardware order and a distribution agreement in Italy and Spain, expanding its commercial reach in Southern Europe. The order comes through its wholly‑owned subsidiary Solar Drone Ltd. The distribution agreement will allow VisionWave to scale its advanced drone‑enabled services across the solar and infrastructure markets in both countries.
The follow‑on order is a direct extension of VisionWave’s existing relationship with a leading maintenance and facility‑management corporation that supports multiple private and state‑owned solar assets and utility infrastructure. The order demonstrates the commercial viability of VisionWave’s RF‑based sensing and AI platform outside the United States and signals confidence from local partners.
VisionWave’s new payloads, including a drone‑agnostic Adaptation Kit, heavy‑lift capability of over 200 lb (90 kg), and high‑voltage insulator‑cleaning tools, are designed to meet the demanding requirements of large‑scale solar operations and power‑grid maintenance. These capabilities position VisionWave to capture a growing share of the European energy‑infrastructure market, where demand for autonomous inspection and maintenance solutions is accelerating.
Douglas Davis, Executive Chairman and Interim CEO, said the launch of the Adaptation Kit and the expansion into Italy and Spain “are important milestones in VisionWave’s 2026 growth strategy.” He added that the company’s ability to deliver drone‑agnostic technology that meets the rigorous demands of commercial‑scale solar operations and high‑voltage inspections “removes long‑standing barriers for large utility and facility‑management operators.”
The distribution agreement is part of VisionWave’s broader strategy to accelerate commercial adoption of its autonomous platform. The company has recently completed the acquisition of Solar Drone Ltd. for $21.6 million, launched a defense‑focused joint venture on January 12 2026, and introduced the Adaptation Kit in December 2025. These moves have helped the company transition from pilot programs to revenue‑generating contracts, although it has yet to generate sustained revenue and reported a diluted EPS of –$0.37 in its most recent quarter.
Investors have responded positively to VisionWave’s series of strategic announcements, including the Solar Drone acquisition and the defense joint venture, which have reinforced confidence in the company’s technology roadmap and market potential. While the company’s financials remain in the early‑stage loss phase, the new order and distribution deal represent tangible progress toward achieving liquidity and a stronger market presence in Europe.
