Adds visual perception layer to complement RF sensing across defense platforms
VisionWave Holdings, a defense and advanced sensing technology company, announced the completed acquisition of the intellectual property assets underlying the xClibre AI video intelligence platform, pursuant to a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement dated April 10, 2026. The acquired IP was independently valued at approximately $60 million, by BDO Consulting Group as of April 10, 2026.
The acquisition is intended to fill a critical capability gap in VisionWave’s sensing architecture: until now, the Company’s platforms relied primarily on RF-based detection. xClibre add a visual perception layer that is expected to complement the Company’s existing RF-based detection capabilities.

Transaction Terms
VisionWave acquired 100% of the xClibre intellectual property portfolio, including AI-driven video analytics software, proprietary algorithms and models, and associated trade secrets and development frameworks. Total consideration consists of:
- 7,000,000 shares of VisionWave common stock (3,500,000 issued at closing; 3,500,000 contingents upon successful proof-of-concept validation and Nasdaq Shareholder Approval under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635)
- $6,000,000 promissory note
The Company intends to assign the acquired IP into a dedicated subsidiary, xClibre Inc., creating a focused commercial vehicle with the goal of development and go-to-market execution.
Why This Acquisition Matters
Modern defense and security environments demand sensing systems that can detect, identify, and act — not just alert. RF-based systems excel at wide-area detection, but visual confirmation is often required before any autonomous or human response can be authorized with confidence.
xClibre is designed as a “video-as-a-sensor” platform that converts existing camera infrastructure into a real-time AI intelligence layer capable of:
- Automated threat detection and alerting with behavioral analytics
- Rapid forensic search to accelerate post-incident investigation
- Visual verification of RF-detected contacts potentially reducing false-positive response rates
- Event-driven action pipelines that connect detection to autonomous system response
The platform is built on an edge-first architecture — processing data locally via dedicated compute appliances, with no cloud dependency. This design is intended to enable deployment in bandwidth-constrained forward environments and ensures compliance with data sovereignty requirements.
Integration Across VisionWave’s Platform
VisionWave plans to pursue integration of xClibre across its full defense stack, subject to successful technical validation and proof-of-concept results, with near-term focus on:
- Argus™ counter-UAS platform — visual confirmation layer for RF-identified aerial threats
- Autonomous interceptor systems — enhanced target classification to support engagement authorization
- Unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) — on-board visual situational awareness
- Fixed-site security deployments — perimeter intelligence with forensic replay capability
Integration will occur via APIs and SDKs into VisionWave’s existing command-and-control and autonomy pipelines, subject to further technical diligence and successful POC outcomes. The Company believes the resulting heterogeneous sensing architecture — combining RF sensing with AI video analytics — has the potential to deliver meaningfully higher reliability than single-modality alternatives.
Demonstration Preview
To illustrate the architectural concept behind xClibre, the Company has prepared a conceptual demonstration rendering showcasing how the engine prioritizes computation in latency-sensitive scenarios.

Validation and Commercial Roadmap
VisionWave will conduct a structured proof-of-concept evaluation with an industry partner, targeting completion in H2 2026. The POC will validate detection accuracy, false-alert performance, and integration across the multi-sensor stack.
Subject to POC outcomes and receipt of Nasdaq Shareholder Approval, the Company expects to pursue commercialization through OEM embedding, platform integration across existing solutions, and expansion into defense, critical infrastructure, and smart environment markets. Successful POC completion and Nasdaq Shareholder Approval will also trigger release of the remaining 3,500,000 contingent shares.
Management Commentary
Douglas Davis, CEO & Executive Chairman of VisionWave, commented:
“RF sensing tells you something is there. Video intelligence tells you what it is and what it’s doing. With xClibre, we have taken an important step toward delivering both — in a single integrated architecture built for the realities of contested environments. Our near-term focus is validating performance in the field. The commercial path follows from that.”
