Contract Highlights

The order comes amid growing concerns over drone intrusions across European airspace, which have led to flight cancellations and safety fears.

Ondas’ Iron Drone Raider system aims to provide round-the-clock protection by quickly and safely intercepting unauthorized drones, addressing gaps left by traditional detection systems.

Following the announcement, Ondas’ stock traded over 7% higher in Monday’s premarket. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around the stock remained in ‘extremely bullish’ territory, and message volume shifted to ‘high’ from ‘extremely high’ levels in 24 hours. 

Integrated Counter-UAS Technology

The Iron Drone Raider functions as part of Ondas’ broader Ondas Autonomous Systems (OAS) portfolio, which merges air, ground, and cyber defense operations. 

The system’s kinetic interception capabilities are complemented by electronic ‘soft-kill’ defenses through Ondas’ recent acquisition of Sentrycs, whose Cyber-over-RF (CoRF) technology allows neutralization of hostile drones without disrupting civilian communications.

 "Designed for complex, high-traffic environments, Raider delivers continuous readiness, rapid response, and precision interception-all with the reliability and safety required to protect critical airspace and national infrastructure."

–Oshri Lugassy, Co-CEO, Ondas Autonomous Systems

The new contract follows a good year for Ondas, which has posted record third-quarter (Q3) revenue, expanded its backlog, and raised 2025 guidance. 

ONDS stock has gained over 176% in 2025 and over 955% in the last 12 months.
