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 it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Rotron Aero, 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 of Rotron Aero will enable Ondas to meet the growing demand for cost-effective mass scale technology on the modern battlefield. By integrating Rotron's technology, Ondas will add next-generation, attritable one-way autonomous attack systems with long-range strike capabilities. These scalable, unmanned platforms are designed to operate within Ondas' existing systems architecture, providing military customers with enhanced operational flexibility and reduced personnel risks in contested environments.

"Modern conflicts demand systems that can operate at range, persist over time, and execute missions without continuous human control," said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas Inc. "Rotron Aero will strengthen Ondas' ability to deliver long‑range autonomous attack platforms as part of a fully integrated system‑of‑systems. This acquisition will accelerate our roadmap toward providing customers with end‑to‑end autonomous mission capability, from sensing and decision‑making through long-range precision engagement."

"This acquisition is a direct execution of our Strategic Growth Plan, targeting high-growth scalers in new geographies with deeply synergistic platforms and elite engineering talent," added Mark Green, Ondas' Global Head of Corporate Development and M&A. "By integrating Rotron's propulsion technology and its precision platforms purpose-built for critical mission requirements, we will expand our multi-domain system-of-systems into a more comprehensive global solutions portfolio tailored to the evolving demands of our current and future customers. This move will secure a vital strategic footprint within the UK and NATO ecosystems, providing fast-track access to major programs through deep-rooted relationships with the UK Ministry of Defence. This acquisition is a pivotal step in our trajectory toward becoming a recognized leader in our core defense markets."

"Joining the Ondas family marks a transformative milestone for Rotron and our vision for the future of unmanned systems," said Gilo Cardozo, Founder of Rotron. "By combining our propulsion and aerial platform expertise with Ondas' autonomous systems architecture and global reach, we will create powerful synergies that will accelerate the delivery of next-generation defense solutions. We are excited to leverage Ondas' deep resources and scale to bring our mission-specific platforms to a broader global stage, providing defence forces with the innovative, cost-effective capabilities required on the modern battlefield."

Rotron Aero has built a reputation as an advanced defense technology innovator with a vertically integrated design and manufacturing capability that supports rapid prototyping through full industrialization. The company operates within a secure UK defense ecosystem and will provide Ondas an established presence in the UK and allied markets. Rotron's team ranges from core aerospace engineers to technical specialists focused on unmanned systems, propulsion, and mission software management.

Rotron's portfolio includes long-endurance dual-use vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) systems and next-generation uncrewed combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs) designed for precision autonomous engagement and extended operational reach. These mission-specific platforms including the Talon multi-role VTOL series and the Defendor one-way autonomous attack system are powered by Rotron's proprietary engines and fan drive systems. The result is a tightly integrated unmanned portfolio engineered for endurance, autonomy, and performance in high-threat operational environments.

The acquisition will expand Ondas' ability to deliver coordinated autonomous strike, ISR, counter-UAS, and ground support capabilities as part of an integrated defense technology stack. By merging Rotron Aero's long-range unmanned platforms with Ondas' autonomy and sensor fusion software, the combined company will offer defense customers affordable, scalable unmanned systems able to operate in contested environments, reduce risk to personnel, and support future operational concepts emphasizing distributed operations and massed unmanned effects. Following the close of the acquisition, Rotron Aero's team and technology will be integrated into Ondas Autonomous Systems, supporting existing defense programs and enabling new long-range, autonomous attack system deployments for military, government, and allied customers worldwide.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The consideration will take the form of cash and stock.
