Ondas Inc (NASDAQ: ONDS) is a defense and industrial technology company that develops autonomous drone systems, counter-UAS capabilities, and mission-critical wireless connectivity solutions. It operates through two principal segments: Ondas Autonomous Systems (OAS), which delivers aerial and ground-domain robotics platforms, and Ondas Networks, which provides private wireless infrastructure for critical industrial applications. OAS generates revenue through direct system sales of platforms including the Optimus System and Iron Drone Raider, as well as a Drone Infrastructure and Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) subscription model that bundles hardware, software, operations, and maintenance into an annual fee. Ondas Networks sells wireless connectivity products to rail, electric utilities, oil and gas, public safety, and government customers. End markets include defense, homeland security, public safety, critical infrastructure, and industrial IoT. Ondas Networks' intellectual property forms the core of the IEEE 802.16 standard, giving it a standards-based position in industrial wireless. As of the 10-K filed March 30, 2026, the company had not achieved sustained profitability and relies on ongoing capital raises to fund operations.
