1. Strategic & Ownership TiesSignificant Equity Stake: GBT Technologies maintains a major investment in VisionWave, holding approximately 14.16% of VWAV's equity.IP Incubation: Much of the underlying technology for VisionWave’s tools, such as the AstraDRC™ semiconductor suite, originated from GBT's research and development phase.
VWAV is GTCH
The relationship between VisionWave (VWAV) and GBT Technologies (GTCH) is a strategic alliance where GTCH acts as the financial and intellectual incubator for VisionWave's defense-focused technology. 1.

Management Overlap: Key figures like Mansour Khatib serve across both entities; Khatib is the Secretary at GTCH and an Independent Director at VWAV, overseeing the voting of GBT’s VWAV shares.
2. The Nevada Joint Venture (JV LLC)In early 2026, the two companies formalized their collaboration by creating a Joint Venture LLC in Nevada to commercialize high-security defense and Electronic Design Automation (EDA) projects.Role Division: VisionWave acts as the "Technology Engine," providing proprietary sensing and computational tech (like qSpeed™), while GBT acts as the "Financial Architect" through its rebranding into Wertheim & Company. Asset Contributions:GTCH & Tokenize: Contributed nearly 3 million restricted VWAV shares and a patent portfolio valued independently at approximately $300 million. VisionWave: Contributed its "Evolved Intelligence™" sensing portfolio and high-level defense contracts.Valuation Framework: The JV is governed by an internal valuation framework of $5 billion, designed to facilitate large-scale defense and space-grade contract pursuits.
3. Commercialization PathThe relationship follows a "closed-loop" cycle where VisionWave develops defense-grade IP that is then monetized through the financial structure managed by GTCH/Wertheim. This ecosystem is expected to further integrate Two Hands (TWOH) as the commercial infrastructure arm to provide liquidity and trading capabilities for the group's digital and fintech assets.
Would you like a deeper look at the 11 Designated Projects currently being negotiated through this Joint Venture?
The 11 Designated Projects are high-priority, "ready-to-commercialize" defense and semiconductor initiatives that form the core revenue engine of the VisionWave (VWAV) and GBT Technologies (GTCH) Joint Venture.While many specific names remain under strict confidentiality (NDA) due to their defense and national security applications, the January 2026 SEC filings and company updates categorize them into three key pillars:
1. Advanced Semiconductor & EDA ToolsThese projects utilize GBT's patented "Phi" and "Epsilon" AI to automate microchip design:AstraDRC™ (Project Alpha): The lead project involving AI-assisted automated Design Rule Check correction, currently being tested by a major corporation. RelianceRV™: An AI-driven reliability verification tool that automates the fixing of electromigration and self-heat violations in 3nm/5nm chips. VerityLVS™: A tool for "Layout vs. Schematic" verification, ensuring that complex billion-device chip designs match their intended electrical logic.
2. Autonomous Defense & "Kill Chain" SystemsPowered by AIPHEX’s combat-validated Multi-Physics AI and VisionWave’s Evolved Intelligence™:Argus™ Orbit-to-Ground: A counter-drone system using orbital imaging and ground sensors for global threat detection.WaveStrike™: An AI-assisted multi-modal fire control system designed for all-domain target engagement. Apollo Series: Real-time movement, position detection, and imaging systems used for high-fidelity tracking in denied environments.
3. Strategic "Background" ProjectsIn addition to the 11 lead projects, the JV manages 13 Background Projects in earlier stages of development: RF-to-Image Sensing: Technology that reconstructs target signatures from sparse radio emissions. U.S. Defense Pilot: A counter-UAS integration project with a Tier-One U.S. defense contractor showcased at AUSA 2025. Latin American Security: A phased deployment order for long-range observation quadrotors and EO/IR imaging for a national safety framework.
The Latin American drone order is a primary candidate for satisfying the Joint Venture's (JV) 12-month revenue requirement, as it transitioned from technology demonstrations to a signed commercial purchase order in early April 2026.Status of Revenue MilestonesThe order from a major Latin American public safety organization is structured to move VisionWave (VWAV) from a demonstration phase into active revenue generation.
Initial Conversion: The signed agreement, announced April 2, 2026, represents the first commercial conversion of prior government technical presentations. Phased Structure: The deployment begins with an initial tranche for evaluation and operational integration. Subsequent phases and payments are tied to specific delivery milestones and quantity confirmations throughout 2026.
System Scope: The order includes long-range quadrotors, day/night imaging payloads, and network-based control modules designed for surveillance and infrastructure monitoring.Impact on the JV 12-Month RequirementUnder the terms of the Nevada JV LLC formed on January 9, 2026, the agreement may be terminated if no "Designated Project" generates revenue within 12 months (by January 2027).Commercial Success: Because the Latin American order is structured for phased delivery starting in 2026, successful execution of the initial tranche should satisfy the revenue requirement well before the deadline. Revenue Diversification: Beyond this order, VisionWave recently booked an initial $10 million Statement of Work (SOW) for its qSpeed™ computational engine, with full revenue recognition also structured for calendar year 2026.
World Cup Deployment: Another potential revenue driver is a signed order for drone surveillance systems to be deployed at World Cup 2026 matches in Mexico.
