American defense tech firm VisionWave Holdings has entered a strategic collaboration with PVML, an Israeli company that focuses on keeping sensitive data safe while using artificial intelligence (AI).

The partnership links VisionWave’s radar and AI-powered computer vision tools with PVML’s secure data infrastructure.

The setup lets AI “agents” — or smart bots — work directly with live defense data on the ground without moving or copying classified information. The system can plan missions, track progress, and react in real time as situations shift.

Early trials suggest the integration could speed up development by up to 70 percent.

‘Foundation’ Capabilities

According to both companies, the collaboration targets defense and homeland security operations, helping teams make faster, more accurate decisions while keeping critical data locked down.

VisionWave CEO Noam Kenig said the project “provides a foundation to redefine how intelligence operates,” highlighting the growing need for trusted, autonomous systems in active missions.

The firms plan to begin joint initiatives in 2026, expanding on pilot programs already underway.

They also aim to create a broader Secure Intelligence Platform designed for international and high-security operations.

About the Firms

VisionWave develops defense technologies that use AI to enhance sensing, autonomy, and threat detection.

Its systems combine advanced radar, multi-spectrum imaging, and the Evolved Intelligence engine, which helps military teams interpret data and respond quickly across air, land, and sea domains.

Meanwhile, PVML designs secure data infrastructure that lets organizations apply AI to sensitive information without risking exposure.

Its platform controls how data is accessed and shared, ensuring AI tools operate safely and effectively across networks.
