VisionWave Acquires QuantumSpeed™ to Revolutionize Computational Speed
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif., January 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: VWAV) has officially completed the acquisition of QuantumSpeed™, a cutting-edge computational acceleration engine currently in its proof-of-concept phase. This strategic acquisition aims to tackle the critical challenge of decision latency in complex computations, particularly in time-sensitive environments.
Details of the Acquisition
The QuantumSpeed intellectual property has been independently valued at approximately $99.6 million by BDO Consulting Group as of December 31, 2025. This valuation reflects various assumptions regarding the technology's future success and market adoption. VisionWave's Board of Directors unanimously approved the transaction, which included a fairness opinion from BDO Consulting Group.
The development program for QuantumSpeed focuses on progressing the technology from its current proof-of-concept stage to a viable production-ready engine. However, substantial technical, financial, and regulatory risks remain, with no guarantees of commercial viability.
Understanding QuantumSpeed's Significance
In modern defense systems, autonomous operations, and AI infrastructures, the constraint is often not the data itself but the time taken to make decisions (decision latency). QuantumSpeed seeks to address this fundamental issue by restructuring computational processes using a Hybrid Successive Approximation (H-SA) methodology. This innovative approach focuses on optimizing only the most critical areas of computation, potentially resulting in significant increases in decision velocity.
The goal of QuantumSpeed is to achieve incremental optimization, although there are no assurances this will come to fruition.
Potential Applications of QuantumSpeed
While still in the early phases of development, QuantumSpeed is being evaluated for several illustrative defense and sensing scenarios:
- Radar or RF systems capable of analyzing complex signals within seconds.
- Advanced early-warning systems that reduce threat evaluation timelines significantly.
- Autonomous platforms that can dynamically adjust missions under challenging conditions.
- AI systems designed to perform heavy computational tasks with dramatically reduced latency.
However, it is important to emphasize that these scenarios are for demonstrative purposes only and do not guarantee future performance outcomes.
QuantumSpeed's Broader Impact
QuantumSpeed’s initial focus lies in defense and autonomous systems; however, its architecture has potential applications across various industries, including:
- Defense and national security systems.
- Autonomous vehicles and robotics.
- Cybersecurity and cryptographic acceleration.
- Financial analytics and high-frequency decision systems.
- Real-time industrial automation control.
As a software-only solution, QuantumSpeed is designed to operate within existing hardware environments, facilitating easier adoption without requiring extensive infrastructure changes.
Transaction Structure and Future Development Plans
In completing the acquisition, VisionWave has secured 100% ownership of QuantumSpeed's intellectual property, placing it into a newly established subsidiary. The transaction involves a structured equity pledge, which aligns incentives and ensures effective execution, pending shareholder approval for additional shares under Nasdaq regulations.
VisionWave intends to invest up to $10 million in U.S.-based development over the next 6 to 12 months to support:
- Architectural enhancements.
- Algorithmic refinements.
- Systems integration and benchmarking.
This phase aims to advance the technology to a commercially viable state.
Leadership Perspectives
Douglas Davis, Executive Chairman of VisionWave, stated, “We believe this acquisition has the potential to contribute to redefining the time dimension of intelligence. QuantumSpeed is intended to bridge the gap between sensing and action — where outcomes are determined.”
Dr. Danny Rittman, VisionWave’s CTO, added, “Every advanced system encounters the same issue: computation delays. QuantumSpeed is developed to address this not by augmenting hardware but by reinventing the approach to computation.”
