ACCESS NewswireCombination expands Ondas' portfolio across multi-domain ISR, counter-UAS, precision strike, mission intelligence and autonomous systems for U.S. and allied defense customersTogether with World View, DZYNE will operate within Ondas Sentinel, a newly created business division that will strengthen Ondas' U.S. defense portfolioTransaction significantly strengthens Ondas' financial profile, adding substantial revenue, positive EBITDA and expanded operating leverageWEST PALM BEACH, FL / ACCESS Newswire / July 6, 2026 / Ondas Inc. (NASDAQ:ONDS) ("Ondas" or the "Company"), a leading provider of advanced autonomous systems and next-generation defense and security technologies and services, announced today it has acquired DZYNE Technologies, LLC ("DZYNE"). This acquisition establishes Ondas as a vanguard autonomous defense platform, uniting complementary capabilities across multi-domain ISR, counter-UAS, autonomous effects, aerial security, precision strike, autonomous logistics, and AI-enabled mission orchestration to rapidly meet the complex, evolving requirements of modern warfare. The acquisition is valued at $875.8 million and was financed through a cash and stock structure intended to align the incentives of DZYNE management and investors with Ondas' stockholders. Greater than 50% of the stock consideration is subject to a six-month lock-up. "The character of warfare is changing rapidly, and military advantage increasingly belongs to organizations capable of deploying autonomous systems at scale," said Eric Brock, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ondas. "DZYNE brings exceptional technology, world-class engineering talent and mission-ready systems across long-endurance ISR, counter-UAS and autonomous effects. The combination with DZYNE accelerates Ondas' build-out of the next-generation autonomous defense platform-not through a single breakthrough product, but by integrating complementary, mission-proven technologies into a scaled operating platform. Importantly, DZYNE significantly strengthens Ondas' financial profile, adding substantial scale and revenue growth. DZYNE is EBITDA positive with a strong and growing margin profile, accelerating Ondas' path towards profitable, long-term growth."DZYNE, a U.S.-based defense technology company recognized for its leadership in long-endurance autonomous aircraft, counter-drone systems and autonomous effects, brings Ondas an operationally mature business with established relationships across the U.S. defense community and allied customers, along with a reputation for moving quickly from prototyping into fielded systems. Ondas believes this combination of technical depth, mission experience, customer trust and operational execution makes DZYNE a uniquely valuable strategic asset as defense organizations accelerate investment in autonomous systems."We structured this transaction to take the majority of our consideration in Ondas equity because we believe in the long-term value of the combined platform," said Jeff Hull, President and Chief Executive Officer of Highlander Partners, the majority owner of DZYNE. "As a firm that invests our own proprietary capital with a patient, long-term horizon, our equity position reflects genuine conviction - not just in DZYNE's capabilities, but in Ondas' vision to build a scaled global operating platform for unmanned and autonomous systems serving the defense, security, and critical infrastructure markets. DZYNE's ISR, counter-UAS, and expendable systems are a natural extension of that architecture, and we believe DZYNE's technology and team will thrive inside Ondas as part of its broader system-of-systems strategy - together positioned to be a leader in autonomous defense.""This acquisition exemplifies our Strategic Growth Program by adding an operationally mature defense technology company with market-leading products, deep customer relationships and immediate financial scale," said Mark Green, Head of Global Corporate Development & M&A at Ondas. " Integrating DZYNE into our systems-of-systems architecture expands our technology leadership while strengthening our operating platform and financial profile."Ondas Sentinel: A New Operating Division for U.S. ScaleOndas has formed Ondas Sentinel, a dedicated operating division unifying its growing U.S. portfolio of autonomous defense technologies. Initially intended to integrate World View and DZYNE, it combines persistent ISR, counter-UAS, autonomous effects and mission intelligence into a scalable organization built to support larger, more integrated defense programs while leveraging common technology roadmaps, manufacturing, sustainment and AI-enabled mission software.Ryan Hartman, Chief Executive Officer of World View, will serve as Chief Executive Officer of Ondas Sentinel, while Matt McCue, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of DZYNE, will become Chief Technology Officer of Ondas Sentinel. Together, they will lead the integration of the businesses and accelerate Ondas' strategy to deliver integrated autonomous defense solutions at scale."Ondas Sentinel creates far more than an organizational structure-it's a scalable U.S. defense platform," said Ryan Hartman, Chief Executive Officer of Ondas Sentinel. "By combining World View's persistent sensing with DZYNE's mission-proven autonomous systems, effectors, and counter-UAS capabilities, we can engage customers across more mission areas, pursue larger programs and help operators see more, decide faster and act with confidence."Compelling Strategic Fit Accelerates Combined Growth PathDZYNE adds three strategic franchises to the Ondas platform: long-endurance ISR, counter-UAS and autonomous effects. These capabilities have been supported by over $500 million of cumulative R&D and product development investment and directly address several of the fastest-growing priorities in defense modernization, including persistent intelligence, aerial security, affordable mass and distributed operations.1) Building a Multi-Domain ISR Architecture from the Stratosphere to the Tactical EdgeThe acquisition of DZYNE significantly advances Ondas' multi-domain ISR roadmap, reflecting the Company's belief that the future of ISR lies in integrated architectures, not isolated aircraft or sensors.DZYNE's ULTRA is a long-endurance autonomous aircraft delivering multi-day ISR across large operational areas at significantly lower operating cost and logistical burden than traditional ISR aircraft. With tens of thousands of operational flight hours, ULTRA brings proven persistence to distributed operations, border security, maritime awareness and communications relay-strengthening Ondas' position in persistent intelligence and bridging World View's stratospheric sensing with Optimus' tactical-edge autonomous operations.The combined Ondas ISR portfolio is expected to span:Stratospheric ISR: World View's Stratollites provide persistent sensing, communications relay and strategic intelligence capabilities from the stratosphere, supporting wide-area surveillance, maritime awareness, border security and resilient communications.Long-Endurance Theater ISR: DZYNE's ULTRA and LEAP platforms provide long-endurance intelligence collection, reconnaissance and communications relay capabilities for operational theater missions requiring persistence over extended periods.Tactical ISR: Ondas' Optimus autonomous drone platform and InsightSense ground sensor technologies provide persistent intelligence and situational awareness at the tactical edge, combining autonomous aerial reconnaissance, distributed ground sensing, force protection and infrastructure monitoring into a unified tactical intelligence layer.Ondas is also advancing SkyWeaver, an AI-enabled mission operating system being developed in partnership with Palantir Technologies to connect sensors, autonomous platforms, operators and decision-makers across a single operational environment. Built on Palantir Foundry and AIP, SkyWeaver transforms data across the Ondas and DZYNE portfolios into actionable intelligence for sensor fusion, decision support, mission planning and autonomous tasking.2) IonStrike Completes Ondas' Counter-UAS and Aerial Security PortfolioDZYNE's IonStrike significantly expands Ondas' counter-UAS portfolio with a fully kinetic, autonomous interceptor designed to detect, track and physically defeat hostile drones in flight. Purpose-built to counter the Shahed-136 class of one-way attack drones and other emerging aerial threats, IonStrike delivers scalable, low-cost interception at the point of engagement, providing an affordable alternative to traditional air defense systems.IonStrike extends Ondas' aerial security platform beyond detection and mitigation to complete the kinetic defeat layer of an integrated counter-UAS architecture, enabling Ondas to own the full mission chain-from detection and identification to mitigation, interception and defeat-across military, homeland security and civil markets. Together with DZYNE's Dronebuster, which we believe to be one of the most widely fielded handheld counter-UAS systems in the world, Sentrycs' cyber-based detection and mitigation, and Iron Drone's autonomous interception, IonStrike forms a layered aerial security architecture against evolving unmanned threats:Detect: Sentrycs, Dronebuster and integrated airspace awareness technologiesIdentify: Sentrycs protocol analytics, sensor fusion and AI-enabled classificationMitigate: Sentrycs cyber takeover capabilities and Dronebuster electronic defeat capabilitiesDefeat: Iron Drone autonomous net interception and IonStrike autonomous strike3) Expanding Capabilities in Precision Strike and Autonomous EffectsDZYNE's family of unique, low-cost, attritable autonomous systems enables Ondas to support a broader spectrum of missions spanning intelligence, force protection, logistics, and precision effects. As militaries shift toward "affordable mass," launched effects have been one of the fastest-growing segments of global defense spending, giving commanders scalable, expendable systems at a fraction of the cost of traditional platforms.DZYNE's portfolio includes the Blitz autonomous Group 1 UAS and Grasshopper autonomous cargo glider. Blitz pairs long-range autonomy, (150 km range), expendable economics, swarm capabilities and an open, modular architecture into a highly scalable platform aligned with the U.S. Department of War's (DOW) focus on affordable mass and autonomous effects. Grasshopper delivers up to 500 pounds of critical supplies with precision into contested or denied environments, at a fraction of the cost of traditional logistics platforms.Financial Profile and Updated OutlookDZYNE is expected to generate $191 million in revenue for the full year 2026, and more than $300 million in 2027. The Company expects a revenue growth CAGR of greater than 80% from 2025-2028 driven by strong adoption of both the ULTRA platform for long-endurance ISR applications and the kinetic interceptor solution, IonStrike, along with a strong contribution from the counter-drone portfolio, including Dronebuster. DZYNE is expected to be EBITDA positive in 2026 and beyond. EBITDA margins are targeted in the mid-teens in 2027, rising to the mid-20% range by 2028.For 2026 Ondas is now targeting at least $525 million in revenue, significantly ahead of the Company's previous target of at least $390 million. The new outlook includes the addition of both DZYNE and the Company's Omnisys acquisition, which closed on May 21, 2026, and was not contemplated in the prior outlook. Ondas' new outlook does not include contributions from Cyberhawk, Ondas' recently announced acquisition that is expected to close during the third quarter of 2026.Transaction SummaryUnder the terms of the transaction, DZYNE shareholders received $200 million in cash and approximately 85 million Ondas shares valued at approximately $675 million. The DZYNE shareholders, led by Highlander, will own approximately 13.8% of Ondas' outstanding shares. Of the 85 million shares, 45 million-more than half the equity consideration-are subject to a six-month lock-up. Ondas believes this structure balances liquidity needs for DZYNE shareholders and long-term alignment with Ondas' stockholders.For additional information regarding the acquisition, please see the Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission later today. In connection with the acquisition, the Company approved inducement grants of restricted stock units (RSUs) representing 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock and stock options exercisable for 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock with an exercise price of $7.92 per share to a total of 255 newly-hired employees in connection with the acquisition. The equity awards were granted pursuant to the Nasdaq Rule 5635(c)(4) inducement grant exception as a component of each individual's employment compensation and were granted as an inducement material to his or her acceptance of employment with the Company. The RSUs and the stock options vest over 3 years, subject to the applicable employee's continued employment with the Company.AdvisorsCitizens Capital Markets & Advisory served as exclusive financial advisor to Ondas and Baird served as exclusive financial advisor to DZYNE Technologies.
