VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: VWAV) is focused on advanced sensing, autonomy, and AI-driven systems for defense and security applications. VisionWave develops proprietary radio-frequency sensing, computational acceleration, and decision-support technologies intended to enhance situational awareness and time-critical response across complex operational environments.

VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: VWAV) reported that, together with its joint-venture partner Boca Jom, Ltd., it is completing a proof-of-concept (POC) release of AstraDRCTM, a patented, automated Integrated Circuit (IC) Design Rule Check (DRC) violation correction technology designed to accelerate and streamline advanced semiconductor design. The POC is scheduled for demonstration and evaluation by a major AI microchips semiconductor corporation.

AstraDRCTM automatically identifies and corrects IC design rule violations while preserving electrical intent and layout integrity-replacing time-consuming, repetitive manual and semi-manual correction loops that can extend tape-out schedules. By reducing the time spent on iterative DRC closure, AstraDRCTM is designed to help teams compress overall design cycle timelines-with the goal of potentially saving months or more on complex programs, particularly for large-scale AI chips.

In addition to automation, AstraDRCTM introduces layout compaction capabilities as part of its correction methodology-seeking to reduce layout footprint, improve routing efficiency, and support higher silicon utilization. For semiconductor organizations, improved utilization can translate into higher yield per wafer and stronger economics at scale, especially when manufacturing advanced-node devices.

To support today's AI-class microchips-often containing billions of devices and extreme rule complexity-VisionWave and Boca Jom, Ltd. leverage the qSpeedTM core accelerator engine, enabling AstraDRCTM to process very large and highly complex designs in practical runtimes. This scalable compute foundation is intended to help semiconductor corporations move faster from design to manufacture, improving productivity without compromising quality.

“AstraDRCTM represents a step-change in how advanced-node designs can reach DRC closure,” said Dr. Danny Rittman, CTO at VisionWave.“By combining patented automatic correction with qSpeed acceleration, we're targeting the largest and most complex AI designs-helping shorten iterative closure loops, improve layout efficiency, and support faster time-to-market with higher confidence.”

Built for the Full Spectrum of Advanced IC Design

AstraDRCTM is being developed to support a broad range of design styles and manufacturing requirements, including:

Advanced nodes: targeting deep-nanometer scaling including 5nm, 3nm, and below Design domains: Digital, Analog, RF, and AMS (Analog/Mixed-Signal) Device/layout paradigms: FinFET, GAAFET, and multi-patterning-aware layout requirements Design structures: flat blocks and fully hierarchical integrated circuits

During automatic correction, AstraDRCTM is designed to maintain electrical connectivity, honor and improve applicable layout constraints, preserve critical silicon resources, and adhere to DFM (Design for Manufacturing) requirements-supporting manufacturable, scalable outcomes rather than rule-only closure.

VisionWave also noted that AstraDRCTM aligns with the company's longer-term semiconductor strategy, which includes the intent to design its own application-specific AI microchips for select defense and civil use cases. By coupling specialized silicon with its software platforms, VisionWave aims to deliver a hybrid hardware–software AI stack optimized for performance, power efficiency, and mission-specific reliability-enabling differentiated capabilities in edge and deployed environments where SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) constraints, latency, and operational robustness are critical.

VisionWave expects AstraDRCTM to serve as the foundation of a broader roadmap of automation-first EDA technologies aimed at significantly improving semiconductor design productivity, enabling faster iteration cycles and contributing to the continued advancement of global computing and AI infrastructure.
