Vegvisir Enhances Fleet Management by Replacing Bulky Command Post Screens with a VR-based Solution

  • 2025-02-20

Vegvisir unveiled its new Vegvisir Virtual Command Stationan innovative fleet management and command & control solution developed in collaboration with the Estonian Defence Forces. Vegvisir Virtual Command Station eliminates traditional command post screens and replaces them with a headset-based virtual display. 

The official launch of the solution took place at IDEX 2025, where it was introduced by Vegvisir’s CEO, Ingvar Pärnamäe, followed by opening remarks from the Estonian Minister of Defence, Hanno Pevkur. 

The solution uses lightweight Vegvisir Visor, an augmented reality (AR) headset that the commanders can use to access and interact with real-time battlefield data from multiple sources, such as Battlefield Management Systems, live-feeds from UAVs, and UGVs, all within a single immersive view. Maps, sensor feeds, and mission-critical updates can be observed in a shared virtual workspace, allowing commanders to work more efficiently and coordinate with their teams.

The system also includes the Vegvisir Mission Grip, an ergonomic control device with gesture support and haptic feedback. Its compact design makes the Vegvisir Virtual Command Station ideal for use in vehicles like APCs, IFVs, and temporary or mobile command posts.

Unified Vegvisir Concept

The Vegvisir Virtual Command Station is the company’s third major product, following the Vegvisir Core, which provides 360° XR-based see-through-armor capability for manned vehicles, and Vegvisir Remote, which enables immersive first-person view for unmanned and optionally manned assets.

“By adding fleet management capability, these three solutions form an innovative concept that equips commanders with the tools to navigate complex scenarios and make well-informed decisions on the battlefield,” said Vegvisir’s CEO Ingvar Pärnamäe.

Shaped by Real Combat Needs

Vegvisir’s CEO added that the solution was developed in collaboration with the Estonian Defence Forces (EDF) to address the demand for mobile, low logistical footprint command setups that can integrate data from multiple domains. A pilot project carried out with the EDF confirmed the effectiveness and applicability of the solution in real-world operational scenarios. The development team conducted a thorough analysis of the lessons learned from the war in Ukraine to ensure that the solution addresses the challenges of modern warfare.

“We’re excited to introduce the Virtual Command Station to the market,” said Ingvar Pärnamäe. 

“This system brings all the information commanders need into a single, immersive and collaborative interface, enabling faster, more informed decisions across various operational environments. The feedback we’ve received so far has been overwhelmingly positive, with particular praise for the innovation of our head-mounted displays. Testers have affirmed that there is no comparable solution available on the market. We believe this unique solution has great potential both for military as well as civilian use,” he added.
