What Ondas does

Maker of private wireless networks and autonomous drone systems for critical infrastructure, defense and public safety.

Sells hardware and software systems, radios for private networks, autonomous drones in docking stations and counter-drone interceptors, mostly to a small set of industrial, defense and government buyers, so a handful of orders can swing a year. It grew by acquisition: American Robotics (2021), Airobotics (2023) and Iron Drone.
