Foresight Successfully Completes Integration into Modular Autonomous Ground Vehicles for Defense Applications

Foresight aims to complete an Autonomous Stack software package to enable fully autonomous off-road driving.

Rhea-AI Summary

Foresight Autonomous Holdings (FRSX) has completed integration of its 3D perception system into VisionWave’s VARAN modular unmanned ground vehicles. The work follows the companies’ August 2026 cooperation agreement and included mechanical design, system integration and calibration of visible-light and thermal sensors for the platform’s off-road requirements.

The integrated system generates depth information to support terrain assessment and obstacle detection. The companies have started live vehicle demonstrations for defense ministries in Europe, Asia and North America. They also intend to participate in India Defense Partnership Days 2026 in November 2026 and South Korea’s K-DEX 2026 defense trade show.

4 terms

ugv technical

"VARAN modular unmanned ground vehicles(UGV)"

An UGV, or unmanned ground vehicle, is a land-based robotic vehicle that operates without a person on board, either remotely controlled or driving itself using sensors and software. Investors watch UGVs because they signal opportunities and risks in industries like defense, logistics, and agriculture — similar to how self-driving cars reshaped auto markets — affecting sales potential, regulatory approval, and operational costs for companies involved.

stereoscopic calibration technical

"system-level integration, and stereoscopic calibration of Foresight’s 3D perception systems"

The process of measuring and adjusting a stereoscopic imaging system so the two separate optical channels (left and right cameras or display images) produce correctly aligned, scaled and timed views that yield accurate depth information. It usually involves finding each camera's internal settings (lens distortion, focal length, principal point), the relative position and orientation between the two channels (rotation and translation), and correcting disparities so 3D point coordinates can be reconstructed consistently; calibration can be done with a known target or software algorithms that match features across images. A limitation is that calibration is specific to the particular hardware setup and viewing geometry, so changes in lenses, mounts, or distances typically require recalibration to maintain depth accuracy.

point cloud technical

"3D depth perception and point cloud generation"

A point cloud is a digital collection of many individual dots in three-dimensional space that together represent the shape and surface of a physical object, area, or scene, typically captured by sensors such as LIDAR or 3D cameras. Investors care because point clouds are the raw material for mapping, inspection, simulation and autonomous navigation; their quality and volume determine how well a company can build products, cut manual work, reduce risk, and monetize location or asset data.

gps-denied environments technical

"off-road conditions and GPS-denied environments"

GPS-denied environments are situations where global positioning signals, like those from satellites, cannot be received or are intentionally blocked. This makes it difficult to determine precise location or navigate using standard GPS technology. For investors, such environments can pose risks for technology-dependent industries, as reliable location data is crucial for many modern applications and services.

The parties started to conduct live demonstrations of the VARAN vehicle for various ministries of defense in Europe, Asia, and North America

The integration follows the previously announced Strategic Cooperation Agreement signed with VisionWave to incorporate Foresight’s 3D perception systems and Autonomous Stack into the VARAN unmanned ground vehicles

NESS ZIONA, Israel, Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX) (“Foresight” or the “Company”), an innovator in 3D perception systems, today announced that it has successfully completed the integration of its advanced 3D perception system into the VARAN modular unmanned ground vehicles(UGV).

The integration follows the previously announced Strategic Cooperation Agreement signed with VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (“VisionWave”) in August 2026, under which Foresight’s 3D perception technology would be incorporated into VisionWave’s VARAN platform.

The project involved designated mechanical design, system-level integration, and stereoscopic calibration of Foresight’s 3D perception systems, which are based on visible light and thermal sensors, tailored to the VARAN platform’s off-road operational and environmental requirements. The integrated systems enable 3D depth perception and point cloud generation, supporting terrain intelligence, all-obstacle detection, and traversability assessments in complex off-road environments.

These capabilities provide a technological foundation for environmental perception, path planning, and obstacle avoidance, enabling autonomous navigation and mobility for unmanned ground vehicles in challenging off-road conditions and GPS-denied environments.

As a next step, Foresight aims to complete the development of a designated Autonomous Stack software package to enable fully autonomous driving capabilities in off-road environments, including multi-mission features such as go-to-point, return-to-home, and follow-the-leader.

VisionWave’s VARAN platform is a modular autonomous ground platform designed to support a diverse range of payloads and mission configurations, including drone launch and recovery canisters, remote weapon stations, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems, optical mast systems, logistics and supply modules, as well as medical, explosive ordinance disposal, electronic warfare, and route-clearance applications.

VisionWave and Foresight plan to conduct live demonstrations of a VARAN-equipped vehicle for various ministries of defense in Europe, Asia, and North America. The companies also intend to participate in the India Defense Partnership Days 2026 trade show in November 2026 and the South Korea K-DEX 2026 defense trade show.

“The successful integration of our 3D perception systems into the VARAN platform marks an important milestone in our collaboration with VisionWave,” said Haim Siboni, Chief Executive Officer of Foresight. “These capabilities establish a strong foundation for autonomous operation in complex off-road environments, and we look forward to advancing the Autonomous Stack integration as the next phase of this cooperation.”
