The company has been expanding its presence in the Israeli defense market. In November, Ondas announced plans to acquire Sentry CS, an Israeli firm specializing in cyber-over-rf and protocol-manipulation counter-unmanned aerial systems technology.

Last year, the company also moved to acquire a controlling stake in 4M Defense. The Israeli company focuses on robotic demining systems with AI-powered intelligence technologies.
