VisionWave Enters LOI to Acquire BladeRanger Subsidiary, Expanding AI-Driven Drone Capabilities for Security, Infrastructure, and Emergency Response

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. and RAMAT EFAL, Israel, Nov. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: VWAV) (“VisionWave” or the “Company”) today announced that it has signed a binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to acquire Solar Drone Ltd., a subsidiary of BladeRanger Ltd. (TASE: BLRN) and a developer of mission-ready unmanned-aerial systems designed for infrastructure inspection, civil protection, and homeland-security operations.

Under the LOI, VisionWave will issue 1.8 million shares of common stock to BladeRanger as consideration. The parties intend to use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate and execute a definitive Share Purchase Agreement by December 10, 2025, with closing targeted for December 31, 2025, subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals.

Transforming Civil and Defense Applications

The closing of this acquisition will mark VisionWave’s strategic expansion into the growing dual-use drone sector, where autonomous systems originally developed for renewable-energy maintenance are now evolving into multi-role platforms for defense, emergency response, and public-safety missions.

BladeRanger’s subsidiary has engineered a modular drone system that combines:

• a 4.5 kW airborne pump delivering up to 120 bar (1,740 PSI);
• AI-enhanced UV and visible-spectrum sensors for real-time anomaly detection;
• configurable nozzle arrays for precise material dispersion; and
• low-flow (5–8 L/min) operation for controlled missions in remote or hazardous terrain.

These systems can execute fire suppression, critical-infrastructure inspection, decontamination, border surveillance, and industrial safety missions — all within established procurement and export-control frameworks.

The acquisition will align BladeRanger’s aerial technology with VisionWave’s AI-driven sensor-fusion and command-and-control platform, with the goal of creating a powerful ecosystem for:

• Autonomous fire and hazard response,
• Predictive maintenance of infrastructure assets, and
• Real-time situational awareness for authorized agencies.
  
  

U.S. program management and commercialization will be led from West Hollywood, California, while research and development will continue at BladeRanger’s Ramat Efal facility in Israel.

Due Diligence and Leadership Presence in Israel

VisionWave has launched a comprehensive on-site due-diligence initiative to finalize the transaction and evaluate additional cooperation opportunities. The VisionWave executive team is currently in Israel conducting daily technical assessments at BladeRanger’s facilities and will continue throughout the month to advance negotiations and definitive agreements as well as integration planning and synergy evaluations.

• Consideration: 1,800,000 VisionWave common shares (subject to price-adjustment mechanism)
• Registration Rights: VisionWave will file a Form S-1 (or Form S-3 if eligible) within 45 days of closing and use best efforts to have it declared effective within 180 days
