VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: VWAV) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with a major Indian defense company to collaborate on modernization programs for the Indian Ministry of Defence (MoD). The MOU, announced on September 15, 2025, establishes a framework for technical proposals, simulations, and demonstrations of VisionWave's sensing technologies and Active Protection System (APS) in India VisionWave Signs Strategic Defense MOU with Major India-Based Partner; Potential EI™ Field Evaluations of Active Protection System (APS) Scheduled Under MoD Frameworks^[1].

The MOU focuses on evaluating VisionWave's APS, which incorporates proprietary super-resolution radar and countermeasures powered by their Evolved Intelligence™ engine. Potential programs include the Make-2 Drone Kill System, ALTV program (~357 units), FRCV program (~1,770 tanks), and T-72/T-90 Retrofit Program. Field demonstrations will be conducted in India at the partner's expense, subject to regulatory clearances VisionWave Signs Strategic Defense MOU with Major India-Based Partner; Potential EI™ Field Evaluations of Active Protection System (APS) Scheduled Under MoD Frameworks^[1].

The collaboration also explores counter-UAS systems, tactical drones, and radar technologies. While the MOU establishes an evaluation framework, it does not guarantee specific outcomes or contracts. All activities remain subject to formal invitations and approvals. The agreement does not constitute a partnership or joint venture and includes confidentiality and communications provisions VisionWave Signs Strategic Defense MOU with Major India-Based Partner; Potential EI™ Field Evaluations of Active Protection System (APS) Scheduled Under MoD Frameworks^[1].

The MOU represents a strategic positioning move for VisionWave in India's massive military modernization programs. The agreement targets potential inclusion in programs representing thousands of vehicles, including the 357-unit ALTV light tank program and the 1,770-unit FRCV main battle tank program. Most significant is the planned demonstration of VisionWave's APS technology VisionWave Signs Strategic Defense MOU with Major India-Based Partner; Potential EI™ Field Evaluations of Active Protection System (APS) Scheduled Under MoD Frameworks^[1].

Key aspects of the MOU include the Indian partner bearing demonstration costs, suggesting they view VisionWave's technology as compelling enough to invest in showcasing. The agreement explicitly avoids partnership or joint venture status while establishing evaluation protocols. Multiple regulatory and approval gates remain before any binding commitments VisionWave Signs Strategic Defense MOU with Major India-Based Partner; Potential EI™ Field Evaluations of Active Protection System (APS) Scheduled Under MoD Frameworks^[1].

Investors should recognize that MOUs frequently represent early-stage positioning that may not materialize into revenue for extended periods, if at all. The carefully crafted legal language throughout the announcement emphasizes the non-binding nature of these discussions. The Indian defense market presents unique challenges, with indigenous production requirements typically demanding significant technology transfer and local manufacturing VisionWave Signs Strategic Defense MOU with Major India-Based Partner; Potential EI™ Field Evaluations of Active Protection System (APS) Scheduled Under MoD Frameworks^[1].

The Indian partner's willingness to fund demonstrations signals confidence in VisionWave's technology. The MOU also mentions "paths to localized production where appropriate," indicating awareness of India's mandatory local production requirements. While the market opportunity is substantial, investors should remain cautious, as the MOU represents preliminary positioning rather than guaranteed business VisionWave Signs Strategic Defense MOU with Major India-Based Partner; Potential EI™ Field Evaluations of Active Protection System (APS) Scheduled Under MoD Frameworks^[1].

The agreement establishes a framework for potential proposals, simulations, and live demonstrations in India of an Active Protection System (APS) built on proprietary super-resolution radar and proprietary countermeasures, powered by VisionWave’s Evolved Intelligence™ (EI) engine, subject to scheduling and regulatory clearances VisionWave Signs Strategic Defense MOU with Major India-Based Partner; Potential EI™ Field Evaluations of Active Protection System (APS) Scheduled Under MoD Frameworks^[1].
