Digital autonomy and security for modern defense platforms
We strengthen autonomous defense platforms with digital solutions—for maximum security, operational readiness, and resilient mission systems. As a wholly owned subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, we bring over 15 years of experience from safety-critical automotive large-scale production projects to defense technology. We develop highly automated functions, robust driver assistance systems (ADAS), AI-supported real-time applications, and virtual models for safe and efficient development processes. Our expertise includes end-to-end development using embedded software, virtual validation in hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) and software-in-the-loop (SiL), model-based systems engineering (MBSE), and digital security and integration solutions.
Innovative strength in engineering for safe mobility
In the engineering sector, we at VAIVA have specialized in developing innovative solutions that meet the future requirements of the automotive industry. Our team combines vehicle data with information from modern environment sensors such as radar, LiDAR and cameras in order to detect dangers at an early stage and activate protective systems if necessary – for example, in case of an imminent collisions. Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly decisive role in this. With our expertise, we offer comprehensive solutions that increase both efficiency and safety in road traffic.
High quality through processes, methods, tools
Our engineering approach is based on tailor-made and uniform methods and processes that have proven themselves in algorithm and software development. At VAIVA, we rely on the early use of simulation techniques to deepen system understanding and ensure ASIL-compliant implementation. With tools such as the SceneInspector for incremental probabilistic simulations and frameworks such as the Automotive Data and Time-Triggered Framework (ADTF), we ensure that our solutions are continuously optimized. This enables us to meet the high standards and norms in the automotive industry and to ensure the quality of our developments.
Safety through comprehensive testing and validation
An essential part of our development is the continuous testing and validation of all components and systems. Our expertise extends across the entire chain – from simulation to the validation of complex vehicle functions. Using methods such as software-in-the-loop (SiL), hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) and holistic test approaches (XiL), we ensure that all safety-relevant functions comply with the normative requirements, in particular ISO 26262. To this end, we continuously refine and optimize our processes and carry out internal and external audits. We look forward to working with you to develop groundbreaking solutions that will make the mobility of the future safer and more efficient.
