VisionWave (Nasdaq: VWAV) Adds Six Field-Tested, Commercially Available Unmanned Aerial Systems to Its STRATUM Aerial Portfolio

Six mission-configured unmanned aerial platforms, each developed, field tested and available for order in standard or customized configurations, expand VisionWave's autonomous systems portfolio across surveillance, tactical logistics, precision support and counter-drone operations.

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: VWAV) ("VisionWave" or the "Company"), a technology company developing dual-use unmanned systems, autonomous capabilities and advanced sensing solutions, today announced the addition of six unmanned aerial system configurations to its STRATUM Aerial Systems portfolio.

Each of the six platforms has been developed and field tested and is commercially available from the Company. As with other unmanned systems, each platform may be supplied in its standard configuration or customized to meet a customer's specific deployment requirements and the regulatory requirements of the jurisdiction in which it will operate. The Company has not to date received any purchase order for, or recognized any revenue from, any of these platforms, and interoperability between the aerial platforms and the Company's unmanned ground systems has not yet been demonstrated. Sale, export and operation of each platform remain subject to applicable export-control authorizations and regulatory approvals.

The aerial platforms build on VisionWave's unmanned systems portfolio, including the VARAN unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), and advance the Company's strategy to offer an integrated range of autonomous ground and aerial solutions for defense, security and commercial applications.

The six platforms address a range of operational requirements, including intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), tactical resupply, heavy-lift logistics, specialist mission support, aerial precision support and counter-unmanned aerial system (counter-UAS) operations.

The platforms incorporate electro-optical and thermal sensing, AI-assisted navigation and tracking, long-range communications and mission-specific payload configurations.

The specifications below reflect each platform's standard configuration as demonstrated in field testing . Actual performance is configuration-dependent and varies with payload, environmental conditions and customer-specified customization, and the sale, export and operation of each platform remain subject to applicable regulatory and export-control requirements.

TALON 10 | Tactical ISR and Surveillance
An intelligence and surveillance quadcopter designed for day and night operations in electronically contested environments. The platform features encrypted communications, AI-assisted visual and thermal navigation in GPS-degraded conditions, an operating range of up to 10 kilometers and endurance of up to 42 minutes.

TALON HEAVY LIFT 40 | Tactical Logistics
A modular aerial logistics platform designed for tactical resupply, medical logistics and engineering support. The aircraft is configured for operational payloads of up to 40 kilograms and incorporates a foldable airframe, dual-battery architecture and precision cargo-release capability.

TALON HEAVY LIFT 100 | Heavy-Lift Logistics
A higher-capacity logistics drone designed to transport payloads of up to 100 kilograms. Its foldable architecture and alternative battery configurations support battlefield resupply, specialized logistics and engineering missions without requiring the aircraft to land at the delivery location.

TALON GUARDIAN | Specialist Mission Support
A mission-configured unmanned aerial platform combining stabilized day and night sensing, AI-assisted target tracking and a controlled two-stage payload-release system. The platform supports specialist payload integration and precision remote delivery.

TALON SHOOTER | Aerial Precision Support
A specialized multirotor configuration designed to support stabilized aerial precision operations. The platform incorporates a gimballed 5.56 mm weapon system, electro-optical and infrared targeting capabilities and mission-specific control and safety architecture.

D-FLY STRIKE | Counter-UAS Interception
A high-speed aerial interceptor designed for counter-drone operations. The platform combines electro-optical and thermal sensing with AI-assisted recognition, tracking and terminal guidance. In its standard configuration the platform operates at speeds of approximately 80 to 120 km/h with an operating radius of 10 to 15 kilometers.

Relationship to VisionWave's Unmanned Ground Systems
The STRATUM aerial platforms complement VisionWave's unmanned ground systems, including VARAN, as part of the Company's portfolio of autonomous defense technologies.

VisionWave's broader strategy centers on combining unmanned ground and aerial platforms with advanced sensing, AI-enabled perception and autonomous mission capabilities to support increasingly complex operational requirements.

By offering complementary technologies across multiple unmanned platforms, VisionWave aims to provide military, security and commercial operators flexibility in selecting mission-specific capabilities, and is working toward interoperability between its ground and aerial assets.

"Modern defense operations increasingly demand coordinated capabilities across air and ground domains," said Douglas Davis, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of VisionWave. "By expanding our STRATUM aerial portfolio with six field-tested, commercially available mission configurations, we are advancing our vision of a connected autonomous defense ecosystem. Our objective is to offer operators a combination of surveillance, logistics, precision-support and counter-drone capabilities that we intend to integrate into one mission architecture."

Commercialization
VisionWave is offering the STRATUM aerial platforms to defense, security and commercial customers and intends to continue to enhance the portfolio through customer-driven customization, system integration and further testing. The Company's ability to fulfill customer orders will depend on its manufacturing capacity, and scaling supply and support to meet demand may require additional capital.

The Company believes that offering complementary aerial and ground technologies may broaden its ability to address defense and security requirements across multiple mission categories and international markets.

Any sale, demonstration, export or operational deployment of these platforms will be subject to customer requirements, applicable export-control authorizations (including under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations and the Export Administration Regulations, as applicable) and other regulatory approvals, including the requirements of the civil or military aviation authority in the jurisdiction of operation, and there can be no assurance that the Company will receive orders for, or generate revenue from, any of these platforms.
