The award: Ondas Inc. won a multi-million-dollar Israeli Ministry of Defense tender, "Digital Bat," to develop and produce next-generation low-cost tactical attack drones, scalable for deployment across frontline combat units and covering the full platform, autonomy, and production package.
The context: CEO Eric Brock linked the deal to a broader shift toward affordable, scalable autonomous systems, citing the US's $1.1bn Drone Dominance Program as a parallel trend Ondas hopes to serve across Israeli, American, and allied markets.
The positioning: The award expands Ondas' Aerial Attack segment, one of four mission areas (alongside Counter-UAS, Aerial Intelligence, and Unmanned Ground Systems) unified under an AI-powered orchestration layer meant to integrate sensors, platforms, and command environments as one system.
