VisionWave (NASDAQ: VWAV) – Leading Live-Fire Radar Showcasing Defense Capabilities - VisionWave Holdings Inc. ($VWAV), ("VisionWave" or the "Company"), a defense technology company specializing in AI-powered sensing and autonomous threat-response systems, today announced two intellectual property updates that seek to strengthen its technology and intellectual property strategy. VisionWave has accelerated prosecution of a continuation patent related to its Radio Wave Finder technology. Further, VisionWave is introducing Evolved Intelligence™ (EI), VisionWave's real-time, embedded AI engine designed for defense-grade autonomy at the edge.

USPTO update - Radio Wave Finder continuation - On August 12, 2025, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") issued a first Office Action on the Company's continuation application. The Office Action raised a procedural double-patenting matter that can be addressed via a Terminal Disclaimer; no other substantive issues were identified. VisionWave filed its formal response - including a Terminal Disclaimer - on August 18, 2025, to help expedite examination. The Company filed its response six days after the Office Action, demonstrating timely attention to IP matters. Patent issuance is not guaranteed until granted by the USPTO. The continuation describes a multi-planar radio-wave detection and imaging system with an AI analysis component for use across air, water, ground, and space domains.

Technology Momentum - Evolved Intelligence™ (EI) - EI is VisionWave's real-time, embedded AI engine engineered for split-second, on-device decision-making in contested or bandwidth-limited environments. Its modular architecture combines multi-modal sensor fusion with a deterministic, edge-optimized runtime to deliver low-latency perception, prediction, and control across drones, unmanned ground vehicles, guided munitions, sensors and humanoid robotics. EI is intended to serve as a common autonomy layer across sensors and platforms. Separately, VisionWave has filed a U.S. trademark application for EVOLVED INTELLIGENCE™ (Serial No. 99317884); registration is not guaranteed and remains subject to standard USPTO examination.

Management commentary - Noam Kenig, Chief Executive Officer, VisionWave said "EI is designed to combine logic- and data-driven models with an added reasoning layer, with the goal of enabling more context-aware decision support in real time." Mr. Kenig continued "our RF-to-image sensing approach is being developed to improve range and reduce clutter in contested environments."

"EI is built for deterministic, low-latency decisions at the edge. Our patent-pending multi-planar RF-to-image sensing architecture synchronizes phased arrays with on-device inference to reconstruct high-fidelity target signatures from sparse emissions - cutting clutter and boosting range and precision. Coupled with EI's fusion layer, it is being developed with the goal of improving range and precision in contested EW environments" added, Dr. Danny Rittman, Chief Technology Officer, VisionWave

Recent U.S. government initiatives and semiconductor programs underscore broader demand trends for edge-based autonomy. While VisionWave's technologies may be applicable in these areas, the Company has not entered into agreements under such programs. VisionWave's recent IP filings reflect an ongoing strategy to strengthen protection of its inventions and related brand assets.

Below is a summary of VisionWave EI offering:

• Deterministic edge autonomy: bounded-latency inference and control for mission-critical timing.
• Multi-modal fusion: radar/RF/EO/IR/system-health unified into a coherent operating picture.
• Patent-pending RF-to-image sensing: multi-planar architecture designed to reduce clutter and enhance range/precision.
• Scalable runtime: modular, hardware-agnostic deployment across air, land, sea, and stationary sensors.
• IP + TM protection: expanding patent estate plus the EVOLVED INTELLIGENCE™ trademark to protect the technology and brand assets.
• Program-ready posture: designed for comms-denied/GPS-denied operations and export-control-aware integrations. Continued… Read this full release and additional news for VWAV by visiting: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/VWAV/news/

Other recent developments in the Autonomous/A.I.  industries include:

AIR, a pioneering startup offering eVTOL aircraft for uncrewed commercial and contested logistics, piloted personal flight, and defense use, recently announced that it has raised $23 million in Series A funding. The round was led by Entrée Capital, with participation from Dr. Shmuel Harlap, renowned businessman and an initial backer of Mobileye Global Inc. (NASDAQ: MBLY), who has also been an investor in AIR since its inception. The funding will enable AIR to further scale its eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft production in support of a growing number of purchase orders and accelerate its U.S. expansion efforts.

This momentum reflects a growing global demand for next-generation air mobility, further underscored by the U.S. government's recent Executive Order promoting eVTOL production and integration and the recent FAA MOSAIC ruling updating the light sport aircraft (LSA) certification qualifications to include eVTOL type aircraft such as the AIR ONE. AIR is uniquely positioned to meet these rigorous standards, making it one of the first eVTOL aircraft expected to receive LSA certification.

AEye, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIDR), a pioneer in high-performance lidar technology and creator of both the Apollo lidar sensor and the OPTIS full-stack lidar solution, recently announced that its flagship Apollo lidar has been fully integrated by NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) into their DRIVE AGX platform, a critical part of NVIDIA's highly touted autonomous vehicle ecosystem.

NVIDIA's designation gives AEye direct access to a global network of top-tier automakers who are currently working with NVIDIA to implement self-driving and next-generation driver assistance technologies. It's a major step toward getting AEye's technology into millions of passenger vehicles in the coming years.

AEye CEO Matt Fisch commented, "We are thrilled to now be officially certified as a part of NVIDIA's DRIVE AGX platform, a strong validation of Apollo's best-in-class capabilities. Apollo's industry-leading 1-kilometer range and compact form factor make it a standout solution across every market we serve. Now that Apollo is a part of the NVIDIA DRIVE ecosystem, we have a powerful channel to scale commercially across the automotive industry."
