MicroVision "announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Avular Innovations B.V. to integrate their technologies and accelerate the development of next-generation autonomous systems for civil infrastructure and global commercial applications. By combining MicroVision's high-performance, solid-state lidar, optimized for reduced energy usage and increased operational efficiency, with Avular's modular drone platforms and system integration expertise, the companies are creating a flexible, scalable solution designed to address real-world operational challenges across global markets. The collaboration focuses on delivering advanced capabilities, including autonomous mission execution in GPS-denied environments, high-fidelity 3D modeling and terrain mapping, collision avoidance in dense and complex settings, and safe launch and landing in unknown locations. Together, the companies aim to accelerate the deployment of advanced autonomous drone technologies across the United States and Europe, addressing a variety of high-stakes commercial applications involving civil infrastructure and public safety, such as virtual infrastructure, traffic management, first responders, and facility security."

MicroVision announced live demonstration of its Tri-Lidar Architecture, marking a key milestone in integrating its recently acquired long-range lidar technology with its existing platform. The demonstration combined MicroVision's MOVIA S short-range lidar with its newly integrated HALO long-range lidar, delivering a unified, real-time perception system and providing early validation of the strategic value created through the Company's recent acquisition of assets from Luminar Technologies. "We're demonstrating more than sensor integration. We're showing a fully coordinated perception system built for real-world deployment," said Greg Scharenbroch, MicroVision's VP of Global Engineering. "In just a few months, our global team has integrated MOVIA S and HALO into a synchronized, software-enabled architecture that delivers performance, efficiency, and scalability." At the ACT Expo in Las Vegas, MicroVision showcased a live, on-road demonstration of its Tri-Lidar Architecture, pairing one forward-facing HALO long-range lidar with three MOVIA S short-range sensors to deliver continuous 360-degree environmental coverage. MicroVision's software platform fused data from all sensors in real time, generating a single, high-fidelity point cloud while enabling accurate object detection, classification, and tracking.

MicroVision announced expanding traction in security and defense markets, with an increase in sensor shipments supporting a range of mission-critical applications. "Not only are we seeing an increase in initial customer shipments, we're receiving meaningful repeat orders from customers following successful evaluation programs and integrations," said Glen DeVos, CEO of MicroVision. "For example, a defense-industry customer that has been integrating 200+ Movia L units over the past several months recently placed another order for 200 additional units. Another customer is looking to bring Iris sensors to the front line. With sensor inventory on hand, MicroVision can support customers like these behind the scenes as they carry out high-stakes, discreet operations. We're proud to see MicroVision sensors become an integral part of autonomous safety systems serving urgent needs in active war zones. Today's defense strategies require perception-based autonomy that can adapt to rapidly changing environments. Our lidar solutions are designed to meet stringent operational requirements while giving customers an open software architecture they can innovate and manipulate based on emergent needs."
