Vegvisir Set to Unveil Its Disruptive Situation Awareness System at DSEI

The Estonian-Croatian defence industry start-up Vegvisir will be presenting its first ready-made products at this year’s DSEI exhibition in London. Following two years of development and rigorous testing, the company is prepared to showcase Vegvisir Core as the situational awareness system for manned vehicles and the Vegvisir Remote for unmanned platforms.

Vegvisir’s innovative situational awareness system uses vehicle-mounted cameras, an immersive ultra-low latency headset, and supplementary data overlay capability to provide the vehicle personnel a comprehensive 360-degree view of the surrounding environment. This heightened awareness equips troops with the tools to navigate complex scenarios and make well-informed decisions on the battlefield.

According to Ingvar Pärnamäe, the CEO of Vegvisir, the company has successfully completed three product demonstrations with the Estonian and Croatian armed forces within the last year.

“We have received a lot of positive feedback from end users who confirm that we are addressing a critical problem often encountered by armoured vehicle personnel on the battlefield. As the cornerstone of our concept is our team members’ first-hand experience from military missions, we know that an adequate understanding of the surroundings can significantly enhance the capabilities of armoured vehicles and their personnel,” said Pärnamäe.

The company is set to showcase two versions of the solution at DSEI – Vegvisir Core and Vegvisir Remote. Vegvisir Core is designed to deliver a comprehensive 360-degree view with the lowest possible latency on infantry fighting vehicles, armoured personnel carriers, combat support platforms, engineering vehicles, and main battle tanks. It connects the crew into a digital hub allowing seamless interaction and access to digital data.

Vegvisir Remote offers a similar experience to Vegvisir Core but is optimized for lower bandwidth, making it ideal for remote use. Its primary application is on optionally manned or unmanned platforms that require remote operation.

The company will be presenting the product demo at the Estonian Pavilion (stand H4-120). Vegvisir Core will be integrated to Patria AMV XP 8×8 at stand H7-120 and Vegvisir Remote will be exhibited live on Milrem Robotics Type-X RCV at stand H4-122.

“For our team, having our product assembled on the platforms of some of the most renowned players in the defence sector is also a significant achievement. We aim to send a strong signal that the Vegvisir solution is a valuable addition to the most advanced platforms within the defence industry, and we are capable of introducing substantial innovation to the field of situational awareness technology,” Ingvar Pärnamäe added.
