Ondas completes acquisition of Rotron Aerospace Ltd., expanding long-range propulsion technologies for advanced unmanned systems for defense

Ondas Inc., a leading provider of autonomous aerial and ground robot intelligence through its Ondas Autonomous Systems (OAS) business unit and private wireless solutions through Ondas Networks, today announced the completion of its acquisition of Rotron Aerospace Ltd., a UK-based developer of advanced unmanned aerial systems and long-range autonomous platforms designed for extended-reach operations and autonomous strike missions.

The acquisition expands Ondas' capabilities across a range of unmanned aircraft technologies supporting long-endurance operations and mission-ready autonomous systems. Rotron's portfolio includes vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) platforms, long-range unmanned aircraft, advanced aero-engines, and integrated propulsion systems known for their high power-to-weight efficiency and reliability in demanding aerospace and defense environments. With the transaction now complete, Rotron will be Ondas' UK-based go-to-market platform, strengthening Ondas Autonomous Systems' ability to design, develop, and scale next-generation unmanned systems supporting defense, security, and critical infrastructure missions.

"Rotron's propulsion and aircraft engineering capabilities represent a critical addition to the Ondas Autonomous Systems platform," said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas. "Their advanced aero-engine technologies and long-range unmanned aircraft significantly expand the endurance and operational reach of next-generation autonomous systems. The acquisition also strengthens Ondas' position within the UK defense ecosystem, providing a foundation for localized development and production that supports our broader strategy of delivering advanced autonomous capabilities across NATO and allied markets."

Rotron has developed a portfolio of unmanned aircraft and propulsion technologies designed for missions where endurance, autonomy, and operational flexibility are critical. Its systems include long-endurance VTOL aircraft and next-generation autonomous aerial platforms powered by proprietary aero-engines and propulsion systems engineered for performance in demanding operational environments. By integrating Rotron's aircraft and propulsion technologies with the broader Ondas Autonomous Systems portfolio, Ondas expects to further advance the development of long-range unmanned platforms and autonomous mission systems designed for modern defense and security operations.

"Joining Ondas provides an opportunity to scale our unmanned aircraft and propulsion technologies within a broader autonomous systems platform," said Gilo Cardozo, Founder and CTO of Rotron. "We look forward to supporting the continued development of advanced unmanned systems and contributing to Ondas' mission of delivering high-performance autonomous solutions."

The completion of the Rotron acquisition further supports Ondas' strategy of building a comprehensive portfolio of autonomous technologies that enable sensing, autonomy, and mission execution across multiple operational domains.

Ondas will provide outlook information regarding Rotron on its earnings conference call scheduled for Wednesday, March 25, 2026.
