Acquisition expands Ondas Autonomous Systems' multi-domain autonomy portfolio with field-proven unmanned ground vehicles deployed by defense forces worldwide
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS / ACCESS Newswire / December 17, 2025 / Ondas Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq:ONDS) ("Ondas" or the "Company"), a leading provider of autonomous aerial and ground robot intelligence through its Ondas Autonomous Systems (OAS) business unit and private wireless solutions through Ondas Networks, today announced it has completed the acquisition of Roboteam Ltd. ("Roboteam"), a global leader in rugged tactical unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) used for explosives ordinance disposal (EOD), intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), hazardous-environment missions, and commercial applications.
Roboteam designs and manufactures combat-proven UGV platforms used by military and security forces in more than 30 countries. Its portfolio includes a range of rugged, modular robotic systems designed to support missions such as reconnaissance, route clearance, explosive ordnance disposal, logistics support, and urban operations in complex and contested environments. Roboteam's systems have been deployed extensively by Tier‑1 defense and security customers, including the U.S. Marine Corps and the Israeli Ministry of Defense.
The acquisition significantly expands Ondas Autonomous Systems' presence in the ground robotics domain, complementing its existing aerial autonomy, counter-UAS, and intelligence capabilities. By integrating Roboteam's UGV platforms with Ondas' autonomous drone systems, AI-driven analytics, and secure command-and-control infrastructure, we believe OAS is positioned to deliver a more comprehensive, multi-domain autonomy offering for defense, homeland security, and public safety customers.
"The Roboteam acquisition adds proven ground robotic capabilities to our autonomous systems portfolio," said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas Holdings Inc. "Roboteam brings a respected lineup of tactical UGVs, established relationships with defense customers, and a strong engineering culture. Together, we are expanding our ability to deliver integrated autonomous solutions that improve mission effectiveness and operator safety across air and ground domains."
Once integrated into Ondas, Roboteam will operate within the Ondas Autonomous Systems business. Its leadership team and engineering organization will remain in place, ensuring continuity of customer relationships and ongoing product development while supporting integration with Ondas' broader autonomy platform.
The Roboteam acquisition follows a series of strategic investments and acquisitions by Ondas, emphasizing the Company's execution against its roadmap to scale intelligent, mission-ready autonomous systems for modern defense and security operations globally.
