Ondas Holdings Secures German State Police Contract for Portable Counter‑Drone Solution

Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS) announced that its subsidiary Sentrycs has secured a contract to deploy its portable counter‑drone (C‑UAS) solution, the Sentrycs Scout, with a German State Police office. The contract marks the first European law‑enforcement customer for the Sentrycs line and will be showcased at the Enforce Tac exhibition in Germany from February 23‑25, 2026.

The Sentrycs Scout is a handheld system that uses a “Cyber over RF” or “Protocol Manipulation” approach to neutralize drones without jamming or kinetic engagement. The handheld C‑UAS market is projected to triple by 2030, and the Scout’s entry positions Sentrycs as a growing player in a multi‑billion‑dollar segment that Ondas estimates to reach roughly $9.8 billion over five years.

Ondas Holdings has a history of unprofitability, reporting a net loss for Q3 2025, but it has raised significant capital, with a pro‑forma cash balance exceeding $1.5 billion as of late 2025. The company’s autonomous systems segment remains a key revenue driver, and the Sentrycs contract adds a new, high‑margin revenue stream that complements Ondas’s broader defense and security portfolio.

Tal Cohen, CEO of Sentrycs, said, “We’re proud to support law enforcement agencies with operationally proven solutions that reflect the realities of today’s security landscape. Our deployment with the German State Police demonstrates the immediate impact of lawful, precise drone mitigation. With the launch of our new man‑carried solution, Sentrycs Scout, we’re extending that capability to tactical units that require mobility without compromising performance.”

Germany has recently strengthened its counter‑drone capabilities, approving a draft law in October 2025 that empowers state police to destroy threatening drones and launching a federal police unit dedicated to drone detection and neutralization in December 2025. These regulatory changes create a favorable market for C‑UAS solutions and underscore the strategic importance of the German contract for Sentrycs.

The German State Police win signals a broader acceptance of Sentrycs technology in European law‑enforcement circles and provides a foothold for Ondas to expand its presence in the growing handheld C‑UAS market. The contract also demonstrates the company’s ability to secure high‑profile, high‑margin deals that can accelerate revenue growth and support its long‑term strategy of building a diversified portfolio of autonomous and security technologies.
