Defense and security technology group Summa Defence's target company Lightspace has received purchase order for delivering of its multi-focal AR headsets from a leading European defense group.
Purchase order marks a beginning of wider use of Lightspace multi focal display technologies, and will serve as extended reality application development kits for several use cases.
"This is the first step in a broader commercialization project. We have been developing our multi-focal AR headsets for a long time and this order is a testament to the capability and usability of our products," says Ilmars Osmanis, Managing Director of Lightspace.
Lightspace is a deep technology company focusing on XR technology, i.e. augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). The company develops solutions for the defense and healthcare industries. Lightspace Technologies, founded in 2014, conducts its product development and manufacturing in Latvia.
Lightspace is the global technology leader in multi focal AR near-eye displays, in which augmented reality is acting as an AI interface. The company currently has in production AR glasses that integrate into the helmet of the crew of armoured fighting vehicles, giving the user a 360-degree view, for example from inside a main battle tank to the outside, as well as additional information needed to lead the battle or mission through an AI interface. Lightspace is also developing ISR (Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) AR headsets for the ground control personnel to operate the military drones.
The target companies of Summa Defence include Lännen Tractors, Aquamec, Uudenkaupungin Työvene, IntLog and Lightspace Technologies. These companies are expected to become subsidiaries of Summa Defence Group tentatively in April 2025 in the execution of the share exchange transactions announced on January 29, 2025.
