INVISIO Earns US Coast Guard 10-year Contract for Wireless boat crew Communications System, with a First Order Worth Almost SEK 25 Million

Friday, September 26th, 2025

INVISIO has secured a 10-year Production Other Transaction Agreement (P-OTA) with the US Coast Guard worth up to SEK 930 million. The first SEK 25 million order of INVISIO systems will be delivered in 2025.

Under the agreement, INVISIO will provide wireless interface and integration systems consisting of the INVISIO Intercom system in combination with the new INVISIO Link™ wireless solution, as well as headsets, controllers, intelligent cables, training, and installation materials for all the Coast Guard’s small boats.

The systems enable consistent boat crew communication, overcoming loud ambient noise and adverse weather conditions while reducing manual input for tactical communications.

INVISIO Group CEO Lars Højgård Hansen said: “INVISIO is proud to provide the US Coast Guard with an advanced solution for its boat crew communication system (BCCS) capability gap. This milestone contract confirms our expectation that this product category, including the INVISIO Intercom system and INVISIO Link™, will drive strong growth for many years to come.”

INVISIO Inc. CEO (North America) Ray Clarke commented: “We are excited to continue to work with the US Coast Guard installing the INVISIO Link™ system, connecting crew members with each other, and providing customer satisfaction, training, and ongoing support in executing this contract.”

In mid-2022, INVISIO responded to a Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) Area of Interest seeking solutions to integrate multiple tactical or non-tactical radios via wireless and hardwired links. The aim was to enable consistent and effective two-way communications among vehicular crews, between vehicles, and with command authorities.

INVISIO was selected from over 16 other proposals to refine and deploy its technology solution through DIU’s Prototype Other Transaction Agreement (OTA), which aims to enhance the mission effectiveness of Department of Defense personnel by improving platforms or systems in use by the armed services. The OTA commenced a two-phase prototype demonstrating wired and wireless equipment that could effectively operate in the harsh maritime environment and ultimately enable boat crews to communicate both internally and externally over wired and wireless connections already onboard.

Scout AI Partners with Hendrick Motorsports Technical Solutions on NOMAD – Defense UGV Automated by Fury

Friday, September 26th, 2025

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept, 2025 — Scout AI Inc. (“Scout”) and Hendrick Motorsports Technical Solutions (“HMS”) today announced a partnership on NOMAD, HMS’s next-generation unmanned ground vehicle (“UGV”) controlled by Scout’s Fury autonomy system. NOMAD represents Fury’s second UGV form factor and debuts Scout’s fastest foundation model to date, lightweight, low-latency, and purpose-built for compact robotic platforms.

NOMAD also introduces Scout’s second-generation Fury hardware stack, which is more than 90% smaller and significantly more power-efficient than prior versions. The system remains low-signature and passive-sensing, enabling NOMAD to operate autonomously beyond line of sight, follow a human teammate from a safe distance, and integrate a wide range of payloads for light tactical ground missions.

“NOMAD is an incredible platform, fast, adaptable, and designed for the toughest mission environments,” said Colby Adcock, Co-Founder and CEO of Scout AI. “Our partnership with Hendrick Motorsports underscores the extensibility of Fury across multiple form factors. We’re just beginning to unlock its potential across ground, air, sea, and space domains.”

Building on Scout’s mission to deliver next-generation, camera-only autonomy, NOMAD combines Vision-Language-Action (VLA) reasoning with rugged, commercial off-the-shelf hardware. By eliminating costly and fragile sensors and relying on fully learned models, Fury provides human-like judgment in real time while maintaining a low-cost, low-signature footprint.

“At Hendrick Motorsports, our greatest strength has always been our people—the engineers, builders, and innovators who thrive under pressure and push technology to its limits,” said Rhegan Flanagan, Director of Government Programs at HMS. “We are proud to bring that same dedication to supporting the warfighter, whose mission and safety drive everything we do. Partnering with Scout AI allows us to combine world-class vehicle engineering with cutting-edge autonomy to deliver NOMAD—a commercial platform designed to give our servicemembers greater capability, protection, and confidence on the battlefield.”
