Vegvisir, an Estonian-Croatian startup, has developed a system that provides a 360-degree view of a vehicle’s surroundings through a combination of vehicle-mounted cameras, immersive headsets, and real-time data overlays. The technology operates with ultra-low latency, allowing for enhanced situational awareness and improved decision-making in dynamic environments.
“We were pleasantly surprised by the overwhelmingly positive feedback,” said Ingvar Pärnamäe, CEO of Vegvisir. “It’s a true testament to the hard work and dedication we’ve put into developing a reliable and effective product.” The follow-up order, he added, reinforces the company’s confidence in the value their system brings to modern battlefield operations.
The Australian Army has integrated Vegvisir’s system into its ongoing experimentation with modified M113 Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs). These vehicles are being repurposed as unmanned or optionally manned platforms, and Vegvisir’s technology is expected to provide superior operational awareness in these configurations.
Through close collaboration with the Australian Army, Vegvisir has been able to refine and enhance its product further. “Thanks to this excellent partnership, we remain committed to continuous improvements to meet the needs of our partners,” Pärnamäe stated.
Vegvisir offers its system in two configurations: Vegvisir Core for manned vehicles and Vegvisir Remote for unmanned or optionally manned platforms. With the Australian Army’s continued interest, the company’s technology is set to play a crucial role in the future of armoured vehicle operations.
