Ondas Inc., a provider of autonomous aerial and ground robot intelligence through its Ondas Autonomous Systems (OAS) business unit and private wireless solutions through Ondas Networks, has received multiple orders totaling approximately $6 million for dozens of counter-drone systems from existing defence and homeland security customers in the Middle East and other regions.
The orders include Ondas’ Sentrycs cyber-RF counter-UAS systems, which may also serve as initial building blocks for broader counter-UAS programmes and larger “systems-of-systems” deployments incorporating additional Ondas technologies.
The purchases come amid rising drone activity across the Middle East and other regions, where small unmanned aerial systems are increasingly used in conflicts to target energy infrastructure, military bases, ports and other strategic assets. The trend is driving demand for counter-UAS technologies capable of detecting and safely mitigating hostile drones.
“There is strong demand and a growing urgency among governments to find scalable solutions for defending critical infrastructure and strategic assets,” said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas. “Our cyber-RF counter-drone technology enables operators to detect, identify and mitigate hostile drones at scale across multiple locations, 24/7, without disrupting surrounding communications.”
Oshri Lugassy, Co-CEO of Ondas Autonomous Systems, said the company aims to provide reliable counter-drone capabilities that allow operators to protect assets effectively, adding that its systems are combat-proven and ready for deployment.
The orders support Ondas’ strategy to deliver integrated counter-UAS capabilities for defence and homeland security customers worldwide. Its portfolio includes the Sentrycs cyber-RF mitigation system and the Iron Drone Raider autonomous interceptor drone, forming a layered low-altitude defence architecture designed to address the rapidly evolving global drone threat.
