New NATO-country order highlights expanding European demand for operationally ready counter-UAS systems in civil environments
Advances Ondas' position in the multi-billion-dollar civil infrastructure protection market
Major international airport deployment of Iron Drone Raider is part of a prior $16.8 million - in orders to protect two major European international airports
WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / February 13, 2026 / Ondas Inc. (Nasdaq:ONDS) ("Ondas" or the "Company"), a leading provider of autonomous aerial and ground robot intelligence through its Ondas Autonomous Systems (OAS) business unit and private wireless solutions through Ondas Networks, today announced that its subsidiary, Airobotics has received a new multi-million dollar order from a major European customer in a NATO country for its Iron Drone Raider counter-UAS system. This follows Ondas' operational deployment of the system at a major European international airport, part of a separate contract from the same customer.
The new contract award is focused on defending critical assets in complex civil environments, an area where Iron Drone Raider delivers a uniquely differentiated capability. Unlike RF jamming systems that can interfere with civil aviation frequencies, or ballistic interceptors that introduce high risk of collateral damage, Iron Drone Raider's net-based kinetic interception solution enables the safe neutralization of hostile drones in densely populated and strategically sensitive locations, making it particularly suited for airports and other high-value civil infrastructure.
"The rise in hostile drone activity has reshaped security requirements for airports and urban critical infrastructure," said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas. "These regulated environments require counter-UAS systems that operate safely without disrupting communications or creating collateral risk. Airports and urban infrastructure represent a multi-billion-dollar global opportunity for civil-compliant solutions, and the successful deployment of Iron Drone Raider at a major European aviation hub demonstrates that autonomous precision interception is now operationally viable in live civil environments."
Oshri Lugassy, Co-CEO of Ondas Autonomous Systems, added, "Strategic civil infrastructure demands a counter-drone system that is autonomous, reusable, and designed from the ground up to minimize collateral risk. We believe Iron Drone Raider is one of only a few interceptor drone systems deployed operationally at a major European aviation hub. This milestone validates both the maturity of our technology and the strong market demand for civil-ready counter-UAS solutions."
Together with Ondas' complementary technologies, including cyber-over-RF capabilities from Sentrycs and advanced optical detection and intelligent classification from Insight Intelligent Sensors, Ondas is advancing a fully integrated, end-to-end solution for low-altitude airspace defense. By combining detection, identification, electronic mitigation, and precision kinetic interception within a layered architecture, Ondas is positioning itself to deliver a complete autonomous defense ecosystem purpose-built for the evolving challenges of modern civil and military airspace protection.
