Ondas receives USD8M order to counter drones in live security operations

Ondas Holdings has received an USD8.0 million purchase order directly from a military customer to supply multiple Iron Drone Raider systems. The order includes Raider systems, associated elements and infrastructure, and supporting services for aerial protection against hostile drones. 

This is Ondas’ first major order for the Iron Drone Raider system intended for live security operations.

The Raider drone launches from a designated protected storage pod, which can host up to three drones, keeping them ready for quick deployment. During flight, the Raider uses integrated on-board sensors to locate, track and hunt the hostile drone supported by the integration of on-drone AI-based intelligence. 

Ondas has trained the Raider algorithms to recognise different types of drones under various operational conditions. Once positioned for mitigation, the Raider intercepts the target drone via operator command by deploying a designated ballistic net. The net can be outfitted with a parachute to reduce collateral damage if operating in densely populated areas.
