Ondas Holdings Inc. completed its acquisition of Rotron Aerospace Ltd. on March 16, 2026, adding the UK‑based developer of long‑endurance unmanned aerial systems and advanced aero‑engine technologies to its Autonomous Systems (OAS) portfolio.

The deal strengthens Ondas’ presence in the United Kingdom and NATO ecosystems, positioning the company for fast‑track access to major defense programs and establishing a UK industrial base for future production.

Rotron’s expertise in vertical take‑off and landing platforms, long‑range unmanned aircraft, and high‑performance propulsion systems complements Ondas’ existing connectivity and autonomy capabilities, advancing the company’s “system of systems” vision that integrates air, ground, and cyber domains.

While the financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed, Ondas’ recent financial profile shows a pro‑forma cash balance exceeding $1.5 billion and a 2026 revenue guidance of $170–$180 million, underscoring the company’s capacity to fund further acquisitions and invest in integration.

Chairman and CEO Eric Brock said, "Rotron's propulsion and aircraft engineering capabilities represent a critical addition to the Ondas Autonomous Systems platform," highlighting the strategic fit. Rotron founder and CTO Gilo Cardozo noted the opportunity to scale its technologies within Ondas’ broader ecosystem.

The acquisition is part of a broader M&A strategy that also includes the purchase of BIRD Aerosystems and a merger agreement with Mistral Inc., positioning Ondas as a leading multi‑domain defense technology provider.

Analysts have maintained a strong outlook for Ondas, citing its growing revenue, robust cash position, and expanding presence in key defense markets, though the company continues to report net losses and negative EBITDA.
