American Marconi Wireless News - Ondas Receives its Latest Purchase Order for the Iron Drone Raider Counter-Drone System from a Major Defense Company

Purchase order to facilitate future orders and deployments of the system with new defense and homeland security customers

As a unique AI-integrated interception drone system, the Iron Drone Raider offers a new method for neutralizing hostile drones while minimizing collateral damage

Commercially launched last year, the Raider system has been enhanced to meet specific military requirements and has already received orders from leading military and defense organizations

Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:ONDS) ("Ondas" or the "Company"), a leading provider of private industrial wireless networks and commercial drone and automated data solutions, announced today that its Ondas Autonomous Systems Inc. ("OAS") business unit's Airobotics subsidiary has received a purchase order for its Iron Drone Raider counter-uncrewed aircraft system (C-UAS) from an Israeli defense company. This order, which was placed as part of an integration process between the companies, aims to expand the distribution of the system for additional military and homeland security governmental end users.

"We are building our presence in the defense sector by introducing the Iron Drone Raider platform to important players in the market with capabilities that are tailored for military deployments," said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas. "We believe this system offers best-in-class specifications and will help protect borders and critical infrastructure in countries worldwide"

During the third quarter of 2024, OAS secured several initial orders in the defense market, totaling approximately $14.4 million, which included several purchase orders totaling $9.0 million from a major government military customer for the Iron Drone Raider system. The Iron Drone Raider systems are being deployed as a core element of a multi-layered homeland security infrastructure to protect critical locations, assets and populations from the threat of hostile drones. Ondas expects to secure additional orders, including new customers and distribution partners, and to support C-UAS infrastructure expansion over the next twelve months.
