At DSEI UK 2025, Estonian defence company Vegvisir unveiled Vegvisir NANO, a lightweight, modular addition to its Mixed Reality Situational Awareness System (XRSAS) portfolio. Designed for unmanned vehicles, optionally manned systems, and units needing scalable situational awareness, Nano delivers full 360° battlefield visibility in a compact, affordable package.

While many question whether fiber optics can be reliably used on land, Vegvisir has already answered the call. “While the world waits for proof that fiber optics can operate reliably on land, we’ve already done it. At Vegvisir, we didn’t stop at theory — we built the entire chain from sensor to operator, battlefield-ready today,” said Ingvar Pärnamäe, CEO and Co-founder of Vegvisir.

Nano integrates seamlessly with existing IP camera infrastructures and is AI-ready from day one. Despite its compact size, the system retains the hallmarks of the Vegvisir ecosystem, including fiber-proven connectivity, night-capable sensors, and ultra-light helmet-mounted displays for dismounted use.

“Nano represents our next evolution — making advanced situational awareness accessible to platforms and units that previously could not field such technology,” added Ingvar Pärnamäe.

Nano empowers scalable, flexible military operations

By bridging the gap between traditional manned operations and the unmanned future, Nano allows armed forces to expand capabilities without changing how soldiers operate. Its modular design enables vehicle units to be swapped while keeping the same operator kit, providing both flexibility and cost efficiency for modern forces.

In February 2025 Vegvisir signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Estonian defence company Milrem Robotics, the leading robotics and autonomous systems developer to enhance the integration of Vegvisir systems with Milrem’s unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). Through this agreement, the two Estonian defence companies will collaborate on new projects, conduct testing and experimentation, and develop innovative use cases for their respective products and services. 

“Nano is the enabler of force transition. It equips militaries with a scalable, future-proof tool that adapts to evolving operational needs, while remaining simple to deploy and use,” said Raido Saremat, Chief Product Officer and Co-founder of Vegvisir.

Nano joins the company’s growing portfolio. Within Mission Solutions, it complements Vegvisir Core and Remote, enhancing operational clarity and situational awareness. Under Command & Control Solutions, the Virtual Command Station enables collaborative decision-making across platforms, uniting the battlefield in real time.
