Ondas to acquire Sentry CS, terms not disclosed

Ondas (ONDS) Holdings entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Sentry CS, an Israel-based global leader in Cyber-over-RF and Protocol-Manipulation counter-UAS technology. With rapid growth, combat-proven deployments across 25 countries, and fully operational threat mitigation, Sentrycs has emerged as a leading force in the global Counter-UAS market across both defense and civilian environments. Leveraging its proprietary Cyber-over-RF technology, Sentrycs has redefined the standards of drone detection and mitigation by operating directly at the communication-protocol layer – allowing authorities and defense operators to detect, identify, track, and take control of hostile drones within seconds, safely landing and seizing the device while limiting risk to public safety or collateral damage. This breakthrough capability delivers safe, precise, and regulation-compliant mitigation without jamming, spoofing, or collateral interference, offering what Ondas believes is unmatched reliability in the world’s most complex and contested airspaces. The acquisition will accelerate Ondas’ “Systems-of-Systems” roadmap, integrating autonomous platforms, sensors, effectors, command-and-control, and secure communications into a unified defense architecture. Sentrycs’ proprietary passive RF technology enables military and security operators to detect, identify, track, and take control of hostile drones without reliance on GPS or kinetic engagement. Combined with Iron Drone’s autonomous interception system, the result will be the industry’s first truly full-spectrum Counter-UAS solution-a seamless detect-to-defeat ecosystem that unites detection, decision, and engagement capabilities. The addition of Sentrycs’ proven cyber-RF layer will position OAS as a unique provider of fully integrated, field-proven, multi-domain C-UAS defense. Ondas expects the transaction to close in November 2025.
