Israel Defense Ministry Award Boosts Momentum
Israel’s Ministry of Defense selected an Ondas subsidiary for its “Drone Hives” program. The contract involves automated unmanned aircraft systems for deployment along Israel’s borders.
The company has been expanding its presence in the Israeli defense market. In November, Ondas announced plans to acquire Sentry CS, an Israeli firm specializing in cyber-over-rf and protocol-manipulation counter-unmanned aerial systems technology.
Last year, the company also moved to acquire a controlling stake in 4M Defense, an Israeli company focusing on robotic demining systems with AI-powered intelligence technologies.
Insider Sales and Stock Offerings
Director Ron Stern sold 300,000 shares for approximately $4 million on Thursday. SEC filings indicate Stern has sold nearly 2.4 million shares since November 26.
The company filed to offer 1,671,899 shares by specific selling stockholders, including Sagitta Holdco SARL and ESOP Management and Trust Services. All proceeds from these sales will go to the selling stockholders.
For the Sentry acquisition, the company paid an additional $2.5 million in cash and stock on Thursday. Another $5 million in cash payments will be made in installments.
Corporate Rebranding Takes Shape
The company plans to change its name to Ondas Inc. in the first quarter of 2026. The rebranding reflects the company’s evolution from a holding company to an integrated global operating platform.
“While Ondas Holdings represented an earlier stage of our development, today, we operate as a scaled, global defense and security technology platform serving both government and commercial customers,” Brock stated. The company will also move its corporate headquarters to West Palm Beach, Florida.
