Ondas Holdings Acquired Iron Drone C-UAS System
Ondas Holdings Inc., a provider of private industrial wireless networks and commercial drone and automated data solutions, announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Airobotics, Ltd. completed the acquisition of the assets of Iron Drone Ltd., an Israeli-based company specializing in the development of autonomous counter-drone systems. Together with the Optimus System, Ondas is offering a government-grade drone solution for security and critical infrastructure protection and monitoring, specifically when deployed for homeland security applications for protection of critical assets in complex commercial environments.
The completed transaction signifies the Company’s entrance into rapidly growing public safety, homeland security, and defense markets. Combined, the companies will provide customers an integrated security platform capable of intercepting hostile drones in airports, populated areas, and critical infrastructure. Iron Drone technology will be available as standalone technology and as an addition to the Optimus System Urban Drone Infrastructure.
“We’re moving fast to bring the Iron Drone solution to the homeland security worldwide market,” said Meir Kliner, Ondas Autonomous Systems President. “We have already been approached by various potential customers who are looking for a reliable, non-weaponized counter-drone solution. The unique integrated AI-based Iron Drone solution relies on physical elimination of the target drone. This makes it effective against pre-programmed hostile drones and UAVs which do not rely on operators radio-link. Moreover, due to its low collateral signature, it can be operated in areas where the use of jamming is prohibited, such as airports, populated areas, and critical infrastructures. With Iron Drone, our customers will be able to neutralize threats while utilizing Optimus drones for monitoring, observation, and video surveillance.”
