Ondas Holdings Inc. announced on November 17, 2025 that it had completed the acquisition of Israel‑based Sentry CS Ltd. for a total consideration of $225 million, comprising $125 million in cash and up to $100 million in Ondas common stock. The transaction, which closed the day after the company’s public filing, adds Sentry CS’s cyber‑over‑RF (CoRF) and protocol‑manipulation counter‑UAS technology to Ondas’ Autonomous Systems portfolio.
The deal value reflects a strategic investment in a technology that can take control of hostile drones without kinetic force. By combining Sentry CS’s soft‑mitigation capabilities with Ondas’ existing Iron Drone Raider hard‑mitigation platform, the company will offer a layered “detect‑to‑defeat” solution that can neutralize threats while minimizing collateral damage. The cash‑and‑stock structure also preserves Ondas’ liquidity while aligning the interests of both companies’ shareholders.
Ondas’ recent financial performance underscores the rationale for the acquisition. In the third quarter of 2025, the company generated $10.1 million in revenue, a record for the period, and raised its full‑year 2025 revenue target to at least $36 million. The acquisition is expected to accelerate that trajectory by expanding the company’s reach to more than 25 Tier‑1 defense, public‑safety, and security agencies worldwide, and by deepening its presence in the rapidly growing counter‑UAS market.
Investors reacted positively to the announcement, reflecting confidence in Ondas’ growth strategy and the added value of Sentry CS’s technology. The transaction is viewed as a key milestone in the company’s dual‑engine strategy, which seeks to strengthen both its Autonomous Systems and private‑wireless data solutions units.
The long‑term implication of the acquisition is a more comprehensive counter‑UAS offering that can address a broader range of threat scenarios. By integrating cyber and kinetic capabilities, Ondas positions itself to capture a larger share of the defense and critical‑infrastructure markets, while the cash‑and‑stock structure supports continued investment in research and development and future acquisitions.
