Ondas Holdings Inc., a prominent provider of private industrial wireless networks and commercial drone and automated data solutions, has announced the establishment of a new subsidiary, Ondas Autonomous Holdings Inc. (OAH). This wholly owned subsidiary will serve as an intermediate holding company for Ondas’ subsidiaries, American Robotics Inc. (American Robotics) and Airobotics Ltd. (Airobotics), which together operate as the Ondas Autonomous Systems (OAS) business unit. The creation of OAH aims to provide enhanced organizational flexibility to support the management and financing of the OAS business unit and its growth plan. OAS has already demonstrated strong revenue momentum, with a preliminary unaudited figure of $9.0 million generated in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Eric Brock, chairman and CEO of Ondas Holdings, highlighted the company’s leadership in delivering aerial security and data solutions to commercial and government end markets. This leadership is attributed to the exceptional performance and reliability of Ondas’ Optimus System, a fully autonomous drone platform, and the Iron Drone Raider counter-UAS platform, which addresses the pressing need for defense against hostile drones. Brock sees a unique opportunity for Ondas to provide a wider range of scalable global solutions by integrating proven technical platforms with the necessary infrastructure, field services, and regulatory expertise to drive the next phase of growth in the global Drone Economy.
With the maturation of drone technologies and advancements in drone regulations, Ondas anticipates a robust investment cycle in the drone sector. The primary focus for the OAS management team is to continue driving fleet adoption of the Optimus and Iron Drone Systems in the industrial, government, security, and defense markets. Ondas envisions itself as a consolidator of leading technology developers and drone service providers, offering a comprehensive suite of scalable solutions for global markets in the years to come.
Ondas has successfully established a leadership position in the development and commercialization of automated drone systems through its OAS business unit, comprising American Robotics and Airobotics. The company is at the forefront of the aviation and data industries, particularly in expanding automated beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations globally through its Optimus and Iron Drone Raider drone platforms. The Optimus System is being deployed as Urban Drone Infrastructure in cities, where fleets of Optimus drones are installed and remotely operated for smart city and public safety applications. Recently, the Optimus drone received Airworthiness Type Certification from the FAA, enabling expanded operations in urban settings, including over people, roads, highways, and critical infrastructure. On the other hand, the Iron Drone Raider is an autonomous counter-UAS (C-UAS) system designed to protect critical infrastructure, borders, and individuals from the threats posed by hostile drones.
