Companies Plan Integration of SaverOne’s VRU Platform with Non-Line-of-Sight Threat Detection
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. and PETAH TIKVA, Israel, Jan. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: VWAV) (“VisionWave”) and SaverOne 2014 Ltd. (Nasdaq: SVRE) (“SaverOne”) today jointly announced that they have entered into a definitive strategic Exchange Agreement to develop a RF-based defense and security technology platform.
The transaction includes $7.0 million in staged equity consideration payable to SaverOne, and is structured to provide for a three-stage equity exchange and strategic collaboration between the two companies.
Under the agreement, VisionWave may acquire approximately 51% of SaverOne on a fully diluted basis, subject to milestone achievement, regulatory approvals, and customary closing conditions. VisionWave will be authorized to appoint one director to SaverOne’s Board at the initial investment stage, and subject to meeting the specified development milestones, to appoint one additional director upon completion of each investment stage. SaverOne will serve as the core operating platform for specified RF-based defense and security applications, supported by a non-exclusive global license to VisionWave’s proprietary RF sensing and analytics technologies for defense and homeland-security use.
Immediate Expansion of VRU Platform
VisionWave and SaverOne intend to integrate VisionWave RF Technologies into SaverOne’s existing VRU (Vulnerable Road User) platform, integrating RF sensing and AI-driven analytics designed to address concealed, obscured, and non-line-of-sight threats.
Management currently estimates that an RF-enhanced, commercially deployable solution addressing identified concealed-threat scenarios could be demonstrated during the 2026 calendar year, subject to continued development, testing, and validation. The expanded platform is intended to assist in environments where optical and LiDAR-only sensing systems face inherent limitations, including occlusion, cluttered terrain, adverse weather, and complex infrastructure settings.
Unified RF Defense and Security Platform
The strategic collaboration seeks to develop an RF defense platform combining VisionWave’s RF sensing, imaging, and AI-based decision technologies with SaverOne’s established engineering, system integration, and commercialization capabilities.
The platform is aiming to support a range of defense and security applications, including:
- Detection of concealed or obscured threats
- Counter-UAS and drone sensing
- Perimeter and infrastructure protection
- Battlefield and tactical situational awareness
- RF-based threat classification in complex environments
The goal of the platform is intended to complement existing sensing architectures and support deployment across military, homeland-security, and critical-infrastructure environments, subject to technical feasibility and applicable regulations.
Governance and Board Approval
The transaction was unanimously approved by both VisionWave’s and SaverOne’s Boards of Directors following receipt and consideration of an independent fairness opinions and valuation analysis from BDO Consulting Group, which concluded that the transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to VisionWave, SaverOne and their stockholders. The entire transaction is subject to the approval of SaverOne’s shareholders.
Leadership Commentary
“This transaction is designed to develop a focused RF defense platform with the goal of operating where traditional sensing technologies reach their limits,” said Douglas Davis, Executive Chairman of VisionWave Holdings. “By integrating RF capabilities into SaverOne’s VRU platform w, we believe the collaboration may result in solutions addressing threats that are currently hidden from view.”
Ori Gilboha SaverOne’s CEO added, “The agreement positions SaverOne as the operational center for a scalable RF-based defense platform, combining engineering infrastructure with VisionWave’s sensing technologies to address evolving security challenges.”
