WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA — February 13, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Ondas Inc., a provider of autonomous aerial and ground robot intelligence, announced that its subsidiary, Airobotics, has received a multi-million dollar order from a major European customer in a NATO country for its Iron Drone Raider counter-UAS system.
The new contract follows Ondas’ operational deployment of the system at a major European international airport, part of a separate contract from the same customer. The contract focuses on defending critical assets in complex civil environments, where Iron Drone Raider delivers a differentiated capability.
Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas, stated that the rise in hostile drone activity has reshaped security requirements for airports and urban critical infrastructure. Brock added that these regulated environments require counter-UAS systems that operate safely without disrupting communications or creating collateral risk.
According to Brock, airports and urban infrastructure represent a multi-billion-dollar global opportunity for civil-compliant solutions, and the successful deployment of Iron Drone Raider at a major European aviation hub demonstrates that autonomous precision interception is now operationally viable in live civil environments.
Oshri Lugassy, Co-CEO of Ondas Autonomous Systems, said that strategic civil infrastructure demands a counter-drone system that is autonomous, reusable, and designed to minimize collateral risk. Lugassy added that Iron Drone Raider is one of a few interceptor drone systems deployed operationally at a major European aviation hub, validating the maturity of their technology and the market demand for civil-ready counter-UAS solutions.
Ondas is advancing a fully integrated, end-to-end solution for low-altitude airspace defense by combining cyber-over-RF capabilities from Sentrycs and advanced optical detection and intelligent classification from Insight Intelligent Sensors. By combining detection, identification, electronic mitigation, and precision kinetic interception within a layered architecture, Ondas is positioning itself to deliver a complete autonomous defense ecosystem for civil and military airspace protection.
Ondas Autonomous Systems delivers AI-powered defense and security platforms deployed globally to protect sensitive sites, populations, and critical infrastructure. Through its operating companies-American Robotics, Airobotics, Apeiro Motion, Roboteam Ltd., and Sentrycs-OAS provides an integrated suite of autonomous aerial, ground, and counter-UAS solutions.
Ondas Networks provides software-defined wireless broadband technology through its FullMAX platform, based on the IEEE 802.16t standard, delivering high-performance connectivity for mission-critical IoT applications in markets such as rail, utilities, oil and gas, transportation, and government.
Unlike RF jamming systems that can interfere with civil aviation frequencies, or ballistic interceptors that introduce a high risk of collateral damage, Iron Drone Raider’s net-based kinetic interception solution enables the safe neutralization of hostile drones in densely populated and strategically sensitive locations.
The Iron Drone Raider deployment is part of a prior $16.8 million in orders to protect two major European international airports.
