Ondas Holdings, a U.S. defense technology company, is actively expanding its footprint in the autonomous systems market through a series of strategic acquisitions. On September 15, 2026, Ondas announced the acquisition of Israeli-based GATE Technologies Ltd. and its European partner, Bron Technologies, for $205 million. The deal could increase by an additional $185 million if performance targets are met through 2028. This acquisition enhances Ondas’s precision strike capabilities by integrating GATE’s advanced electronic safe and arm devices (ESADs) and smart fuzes, which are crucial components for loitering munitions systems and drones. GATE’s technology is already integrated into numerous weapons systems and the company is involved in the Iron Dome project. Bron Technologies provides manufacturing and certification capabilities in Poland, establishing a NATO-based production presence in Europe for Ondas.
This move follows other significant acquisitions by Ondas. On September 23, 2026, Ondas acquired three additional defense technology businesses—Insignito Solutions, Ottopia Defense, and Caribou Labs—for $56 million, with potential earnouts of up to $32 million. These acquisitions aim to strengthen Ondas’s acoustic intelligence for counter-UAS (C-UAS), resilient communications, remote operations, and GNSS-denied navigation capabilities, further integrating its autonomous defense systems platform. Earlier, in August 2026, Ondas acquired Aran Defense for approximately $33 million, expanding its engineering and manufacturing operations in Israel. In November 2025, Ondas also completed the acquisition of Sentrycs, an Israeli company specializing in cyber-over-RF C-UAS technology, which enhances its ability to detect and take control of unauthorized drones.
Ondas’s aggressive growth strategy is also reflected in its financial performance. The company reported record revenue of $83.8 million in the second quarter of 2026, a significant increase from $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. Analysts have a consensus “Strong Buy” rating for Ondas Holdings, with a 12-month stock price target of $19.42, indicating a potential increase of 155.19% from the latest price. The global loitering munitions market, which Ondas is heavily investing in, is projected to grow from approximately $5.4 billion in 2025 to about $13.3 billion by 2030.
