Ondas Receives New Orders for Counter-Drone Systems from Current Customers in the Middle East as Regional Drone Threats Escalate⚡️Orders for Ondas' Sentrycs Counter-UAS Systems Reflect Growing Demand to Protect Critical Infrastructure and Strategic Facilities Amid Ongoing… pic.twitter.com/w5Kknl5zUL

The orders are for the company’s Sentrycs Cyber-RF counter-unmanned aerial systems. These systems detect, identify, track, and take control of unauthorized drones using protocol manipulation. Once captured, a drone can be redirected away from protected areas or brought down in a controlled landing zone.
Ondas said the orders cover dozens of units. The company described these purchases as possible starting points for larger, more complex counter-drone programs that could bring in additional technology from its wider portfolio.
CEO Eric Brock said demand is strong. “There is strong demand and a growing urgency among governments to find scalable solutions for defending critical infrastructure and strategic assets,” he said in a statement.
The backdrop here matters. Drone use across the Middle East has risen, with small unmanned systems being deployed in active conflicts to target energy infrastructure, military bases, and ports.
Oshri Lugassy, Co-CEO of Ondas Autonomous Systems, confirmed the technology is ready for deployment.
Recent Contract Wins
This latest order follows a busy run of contract activity for the company. Earlier, its subsidiary Airobotics Ltd. secured a $20 million purchase order for an autonomous border protection system as part of a multi-year government contract.
Ondas also made a $10 million strategic investment in World View Enterprises to develop surveillance and reconnaissance tools for commercial and defense clients.
The company operates across three business units: Ondas Autonomous Systems, Ondas Capital, and Ondas Networks. Its operating companies include American Robotics, Airobotics, Apeiro Motion, Roboteam Ltd., and Sentrycs.
