VisionWave Converts Latin American Government Engagement into Initial Defense Order
Company Transitions from Technical Presentations to Initial Commercial Deployment with Public Safety Organization in Major Latin American Jurisdiction
West Hollywood, CA – April 2, 2026 – VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: VWAV) (“VisionWave” or the “Company”), a next-generation defense technology and advanced sensing company, today announced that it has received a signed purchase order from a Latin American public safety organization for the supply of drone-based operational systems and integrated payload technologies.
The purchase order follows VisionWave’s previously announced engagement with senior government officials in Latin America, where the Company conducted a series of technical presentations regarding homeland security and public safety applications of its aerial and sensing platforms (see press release dated March 16, 2026).
The Company believes this development represents an initial commercial conversion of those engagements, marking a transition from technology demonstration to operational deployment.
Order Overview
The purchase order includes a multi-system deployment consisting of:
| · | Long-range observation quadrotor platforms |
| · | Day/night EO/IR imaging payloads |
| · | Network-based connectivity and control modules |
| · | Specialized aerial payload systems designed for operational environments |
The systems are intended to support defense, public safety, and law enforcement missions, including surveillance, rapid response, infrastructure monitoring, and operational support in complex environments.
VisionWave understands that the purchasing entity operates within a national-level public safety and security framework, including police and related governmental units, and that the systems are expected to be deployed in defensive and homeland security applications.
Phased Deployment Structure
The order is structured as a multi-phase deployment, beginning with an initial tranche designed to support evaluation, operational integration, and deployment readiness.
Subsequent phases are subject to delivery milestones, quantity confirmations, and standard commercial terms.
The Company notes that such phased structures are typical in international defense and public safety procurement processes, where systems are deployed and assessed prior to broader rollout.
Market Context and Strategic Positioning
The purchasing organization operates within a jurisdiction that is among the largest and most populous in Latin America, with a federated governmental structure comprised of numerous state-level authorities and a central federal framework.
VisionWave believes that successful execution of this initial deployment may support broader engagement opportunities within similar governmental and public safety structures across the jurisdiction and the wider region. Any such expansion would be subject to operational performance, budgetary approvals, and formal procurement processes and, as such, there is no guarantee that these additional engagement opportunities will develop.
This development reinforces VisionWave’s broader strategy of expanding its presence in international defense and homeland security markets through direct governmental engagement, field-level validation, and phased operational deployment.
Strategic Significance
The Company believes this initial order represents:
| · | A validated transition from presentation-stage engagement to commercial activity |
| · | Early-stage adoption of VisionWave’s integrated autonomous and sensing platform |
| · | A potential foundation for expanded deployment within large-scale public safety infrastructures |
VisionWave continues to pursue additional opportunities across Latin America, Europe, and Asia as part of its multi-domain platform expansion strategy.
