Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS) announced that its autonomous‑systems subsidiary, Airobotics, has secured a new strategic defense contract in the Asia‑Pacific region. The agreement will deploy Ondas’ autonomous unmanned aerial platforms for national‑security missions across the APAC market, marking a significant expansion of the company’s geographic footprint and customer base.
The contract’s financial value was not disclosed, but Ondas said the deal is expected to contribute to its preliminary 2026 revenue target of at least $110 million for the Autonomous Systems unit. The announcement was made during the Singapore Airshow, underscoring the company’s intent to leverage high‑profile industry events for key disclosures.
Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO, said the contract reflects “accelerating demand across the Asia‑Pacific region for mission‑ready autonomous defense systems” and highlighted the region’s need for persistent protection of borders, critical infrastructure, and sensitive national assets. Co‑CEO Oshri Lugassy added that the deal demonstrates Ondas’ commitment to delivering mature, combat‑proven platforms that can be customized to meet specific operational and tactical requirements.
On the day of the announcement, Ondas’ shares rose 2.7 % to $10.64, with a 10.34 % intraday swing. The market reaction was driven by the company’s growing presence in key defense markets outside the United States and the positive analyst sentiment surrounding its autonomous‑systems strategy.
The contract is a strategic milestone for Ondas, reinforcing its position as an emerging defense‑technology prime contractor. By expanding into the Asia‑Pacific, the company is positioning itself to capture a growing demand for integrated autonomous solutions—combining aerial, ground, and counter‑UAS capabilities—across a region that is investing heavily in modernizing its defense forces. The deal also aligns with Ondas’ broader strategy of localizing production, field support, and regional partnerships to support long‑term deployments in the APAC market.
