Ondas Inc. develops autonomous systems, robotics and mission-critical connectivity solutions for defense, security and industrial markets. Its operating focus spans Ondas Autonomous Systems, Ondas Networks and Ondas Capital, with products and services tied to aerial and ground-based intelligence, sensing, mobility and communications in complex operating environments.
Recurring Ondas news covers defense and public-safety orders, counter-drone deployments, robotic demining programs, heavy engineering equipment, European joint-venture activity, acquisition integration and quarterly financial reporting. Company updates also reference the FullMAX software-defined broadband platform for industrial IoT networks, Sentrycs cyber-over-RF counter-drone technology, 4M Defense demining systems, INDO Earth Moving equipment programs and the completed Mistral merger, which added U.S.-based manufacturing, integration and federal contracting infrastructure.
Ondas (ONDS) plans to expand ULTRA aircraft production, targeting 10 aircraft per month by 2028, including manufacturing in the United States. It has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of Stemme, ULTRA's airframe manufacturer, in an all-cash transaction.
Ondas plans 345,000 square feet of U.S. production space and increased use of Stemme's German facilities. Those facilities span approximately 135,571 square feet and currently operate at approximately 25% of production capacity. The company expects the acquisition to reduce external supplier reliance and improve coordination between engineering and production.
ULTRA, an uncrewed intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft, is operationally deployed by the U.S. Air Force. The acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
Ondas (Nasdaq: ONDS) has secured multi-million-dollar contracts with governmental customers in Europe and Asia for systems that counter unmanned aircraft.
The European agreement supplies portable Ranger systems to a police organization. Ranger provides drone detection, identification, tracking and mitigation without permanent infrastructure. The Asian order covers Iron Drone Raider autonomous interception systems, designed to intercept drones physically, including those without active radio-frequency communications or using autonomous navigation.
The awards expand Ondas' international counter-drone business. Within its Aerial Security segment, the company is developing a layered defense system combining detection, electronic mitigation, autonomous interception and mission command and control.
Ondas (ONDS) outlined how its aerial security portfolio could support public agencies accessing FEMA’s expanded $250 million counter-drone grant program.

Priorities include the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games and the nationwide Olympic torch relay.
Ondas sees a commercial opportunity to provide integrated systems, training and support as agencies move toward procurement. Its portfolio includes drone detection, identification, mitigation and command-and-control systems. The company supported counter-drone deployments for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and was selected to protect Jacksonville Jaguars NFL games. Ondas will participate in a drone security and grant forum on November 9, 2026.

Ondas (ONDS) subsidiary Sentrycs announced a $99,000 fixed-price package for its portable Ranger counter-drone system, including three years of maintenance.
The package provides detection, tracking, identification and mitigation capabilities for state and local agencies. Sentrycs positions it as an option for agencies considering FEMA's latest $250 million round of counter-drone grant funding. Ranger is already on the Safer Skies Authorized Systems List under the name Sentrycs Horizon. It is available through authorized distributors and partners; agencies considering grant-funded purchases should coordinate eligibility and procurement requirements with their State Administrative Agency.

After closing, the combined company will be named FORT Robotics Holdings and is expected to trade on Nasdaq as FROB, subject to regulatory approvals.

The Global 7500 adds another aircraft platform equipped with Ondas' missile protection technology. Ondas expects its military and civilian market approach to create additional revenue opportunities and accelerate adoption across multiple sectors.
Ondas (ONDS) and Palantir Technologies (PLTR) announced the formation of Regna AI, a standalone private company initially wholly owned by Ondas. Regna AI is bootstrapped by Ondas and powered by Palantir, which will provide model-training infrastructure and delivery support.
Ondas will be its first customer, deploying specialized AI models to coordinate autonomous missions on edge hardware. Regna AI is expected to scale with institutional partners and develop models for deployment within customers' own controlled environments. Ondas plans to work with Regna AI and Palantir on initial customer deployments over the coming months. Regna AI plans to expand beyond intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance into other mission areas, security, critical infrastructure and industrial markets.
