Ondas
Ondas is a public autonomous-defense and industrial-intelligence platform built through acquisitions across drones, counter-UAS, ground robotics, ISR and mission software. Its July 2026 DZYNE acquisition added long-endurance ISR aircraft, counter-UAS systems and autonomous effects, lifting its 2026 revenue target to at least $525M.
Market context
Ondas has become a meaningful multi-asset autonomy platform spanning drone-in-a-box systems, counter-drone platforms, autonomous aerial systems, and ground robotics through its operating companies and acquisitions. It is more than a passive holding company and is actively consolidating defence and security autonomy capability.
