Ondas Secures New Counter-Drone Contracts in Europe and Asia

Ondas has announced new multi-million-dollar counter-drone contracts involving a major European police organization and an Asian government customer, expanding the company's international aerial defense business.

U.S.-listed defense technology company Ondas Inc. announced on November 4 that it had secured new government contracts covering two different counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) technologies. The agreements include portable Ranger systems for a major European police organization and Iron Drone Raider autonomous interceptors for an undisclosed government customer in Asia.

The company did not identify either customer, disclose the countries involved, or provide separate contract values. It described the awards collectively as multi-million-dollar contracts.

The European agreement is particularly relevant to the growing demand for mobile counter-drone capabilities among police, border security agencies and organizations responsible for protecting critical infrastructure.

European Police to Receive Portable Ranger Systems

Under the European contract, Ondas will supply portable Ranger counter-UAS systems designed for personnel operating without permanent detection or mitigation infrastructure.

According to the company, the systems combine drone detection, identification, tracking and mitigation capabilities in a compact configuration suitable for mobile security teams.

The equipment is intended for operational environments including public events, border security, sensitive facilities and other locations where permanently installed counter-drone infrastructure may not be practical.

The announcement did not specify the number of systems ordered, delivery timetable or whether the equipment will be deployed nationally or by a specialized police unit.

For European security agencies, portable systems offer a different procurement option from large, fixed-site counter-UAS installations. They can potentially support temporary missions and rapidly changing security requirements, although the operational use of drone mitigation capabilities remains subject to national laws and authorization requirements.

Iron Drone Raider Contract Expands Asian Business

The second agreement covers Iron Drone Raider autonomous interception systems for a government customer in Asia.

Unlike counter-drone technologies that depend on disrupting a target's radio communications, Iron Drone Raider is designed to physically intercept hostile unmanned aircraft.

This approach is relevant to threats that operate autonomously or without continuous radio-frequency communication, limiting the effectiveness of conventional electronic countermeasures.

Ondas did not disclose the configuration, quantity or value of the systems included in the Asian order.

Israeli Technology Within an Expanding Defense Portfolio

The latest awards also reflect Ondas' effort to combine several counter-drone technologies within a broader defense portfolio.

In November 2025, Ondas completed its acquisition of Israeli company Sentrycs, a specialist in Cyber-over-RF technology designed to detect, identify and mitigate unauthorized drones through communication-protocol techniques.

The acquisition expanded Ondas' non-kinetic counter-UAS capabilities alongside its autonomous interception technologies.

Ondas has also increased its European industrial presence. In October 2026, Adria Defense reported on the company's $56 million order for electronic safe-and-arm devices supporting a European loitering munition program, backed by manufacturing operations in Poland.

That earlier order concerns precision-strike components and is separate from the counter-drone contracts announced on November 4.

Growing European Demand for Layered Drone Defense

The new European police contract illustrates how the counter-UAS market is expanding beyond traditional military air defense procurement.

Police forces, border agencies and infrastructure operators face operational requirements that differ from those of conventional armed forces. Portability, rapid deployment, identification accuracy and the ability to operate in populated areas can be as important as interception capability.

Ondas is positioning its portfolio to address these different requirements through a combination of detection, electronic mitigation, autonomous interceptors and integrated command systems.

The latest announcement provides evidence of further international sales activity, although the limited financial and customer disclosures make it impossible to assess the scale of the European deployment independently.
