Estonian defence technology developer Vegvisir has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Croatia’s Protostar Labs to jointly advance next‑generation situational awareness solutions.

The MoU creates a framework for strategic collaboration centred on integrating artificial intelligence with mixed reality situational awareness systems. The aim is to investigate advanced capabilities that improve decision-making, operational safety, and user effectiveness in complex environments.

Under the MoU, the parties plan to explore several key areas, including the integration of AI algorithms with Vegvisir’s mixed reality situational awareness platform to facilitate rapid data interpretation and decision-making. They also aim to jointly develop intuitive, AI-enhanced user interfaces for armoured vehicles, unmanned systems, mobile command posts, and explore AI-based object detection, tracking, and predictive analytics. Additionally, the collaboration will assess multispectral camera systems to enhance sensor fusion and operational effectiveness, as well as design dispersed and discreet command-and-control configurations suitable for modern operational scenarios.

Vegvisir announced a partnership to enhance real-time data processing and visualisation

Vegvisir is developing a mixed reality situational awareness solution that enables, for example, an armoured vehicle operator to see a 360-degree view through the vehicle’s metal shell via virtual reality goggles. Over its operational years, Vegvisir has raised 3.6 million euros.

Protostar Labs is the R&D company based in Osijek and Belišće, Croatia, developing advanced vision systems and edge AI solutions for both space systems and industrial applications. The company specialises in AI-enabled onboard data processing, edge computing, multispectral imaging, and real-time autonomous systems designed for mission-critical performance.

Through this collaboration, Vegvisir and Protostar Labs aim to explore how complementary expertise in AI, sensing, and visualisation can support future situational awareness and decision-support capabilities, particularly in defence and other high-risk operational domains.

This MoU reflects a mutual commitment to proactive collaboration, technical knowledge exchange, and joint evaluation activities as both companies assess potential paths toward future innovation.
