UK-Manufactured Systems Demonstrate VisionWave’s Growing Portfolio of Integrated Air and Ground Autonomous Defense Technologies
PARIS and WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif., June 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: VWAV), a defense technology company focused on autonomous systems, advanced sensing, artificial intelligence, and battlefield autonomy, today announced the unveiling of its TALON™ Tactical Autonomous Aerial System and D-FLY™ Autonomous Intercept Platform at Eurosatory 2026, one of the world’s largest and most influential defense and security exhibitions.
The unveiling marks an important step in VisionWave’s ongoing development of integrated, operational autonomous defense solutions. The systems were physically showcased alongside other VisionWave technologies, demonstrating the Company’s growing ability to field interoperable autonomous platforms designed for modern military, homeland security, border security, and critical infrastructure protection missions.
Developed through VisionWave UK Ltd. and manufactured in England in cooperation with specialized aerospace and defense partners, TALON™ and D-FLY™ represent the latest additions to VisionWave’s expanding STRATUM™ autonomous operations architecture.
“Eurosatory 2026 represented an important milest for VisionWave,” said Douglas Davis, Executive Chairman of VisionWave Holdings.
“For the first time, we publicly demonstrated multiple autonomous platforms operating within a common ecosystem. TALON™, D-FLY™, VARAN™ and CAEAN™ collectively showcase VisionWave’s ability to integrate artificial intelligence, sensing, autonomy, communications, mission intelligence and operational execution into deployable defense solutions. These represent advanced systems designed for demanding operational environments.”
TALON™ - Tactical Autonomous Aerial System
TALON™ is a high-performance tactical autonomous aerial platform intended d to support intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), communications relay, distributed sensing, payload delivery and persistent battlefield overwatch missions.
The platform incorporates:
- Autonomous mission execution
- GNSS-degraded operational capability
- Distributed aerial sensing integration
- Low-signature thermal profile
- Tactical payload delivery capability
- Communications relay and mesh networking
- Persistent ISR and reconnaissance operations
- Border security and force protection applications
- Full STRATUM™ interoperability
Designed for contested and degraded environments, TALON™ is intended to enables operators to extend situational awareness and operational reach while reducing risk to personnel.
D-FLY™ - Autonomous Counter-UAS Intercept Platform
D-FLY™ is a rapid-response autonomous aerial interceptor designed specifically to address the growing global threat posed by hostile drones and low-altitude unmanned aerial systems.
Key capabilities include:
- Autonomous intercept capability
- Rapid aerial threat response
- Distributed counter-UAS operations
- Integrated aerial sensing
- Tactical rapid deployment
- STRATUM™ ecosystem interoperability
- Distributed mission coordination
- Compact operational footprint
Designed for tactical airspace protection, D-FLY™ is intended to provide security forces and military operators with a highly mobile autonomous solution for detecting, tracking and responding to emerging aerial threats.
Demonstrating the STRATUM™ Ecosystem
At Eurosatory 2026, VisionWave demonstrated how its growing portfolio of autonomous technologies can operate together as part of a unified battlefield architecture.
