First system under contract to deliver to the Office of Naval Research following acceptance testing
WEST PALM BEACH, FL / ACCESS Newswire / September 30, 2026 / Ondas Inc. (Nasdaq:ONDS) ("Ondas" or the "Company"), a leading provider of advanced autonomous systems and next-generation defense and security technologies and services, today announced the launch of Dronebuster REACH, the long-range variant of its Dronebuster family of non-kinetic Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS). The first REACH system is under contract to deliver to the Office of Naval Research following customer acceptance testing.
The customer will use the systems to support C-UAS research, evaluation and test activities.
REACH applies the electronic attack techniques proven across the Dronebuster line, including command and-control disruption, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) denial and optional Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) electronic attack, at longer range and higher power. It gives operators a non kinetic defeat option for engagements that begin outside the range of a handheld effector.
REACH is designed to operate as part of a layered architecture rather than as a standalone tool. It pairs with Ondas' Detect, Track, Identify (DTI) systems for cueing and integrates with DefenseOS, the Company's open command-and-control software, so operators can move from detection to decision to defeat inside a single picture. Where a non-kinetic effect is not sufficient, the same architecture supports handoff to kinetic interception.
"Dronebuster is one of the most widely fielded counter-drone systems in the world, and REACH extends that franchise into a segment customers are asking us to fill," said Eric Brock, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ondas. "New products like this are how we convert an installed base and a strong pipeline into sustained demand across our C-UAS portfolio."
"Operators keep telling us the same thing: by the time a drone is inside handheld range, they have already lost time they cannot get back," said Ryan Hartman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ondas Sentinel. "REACH pushes the engagement out, gives them room to make a decision, and does it with a system our customers already know how to use."
REACH builds on a system with a long fielding record. Dronebuster is the only American-made handheld system of its kind and among the world's most widely deployed handheld counter-drone solutions, fielded in more than 50 countries and backed by over 3,000 units delivered worldwide.
Ondas' C-UAS portfolio spans detection, non-kinetic defeat and kinetic interception, including Dronebuster handheld effectors, vehicle kits and REACH long-range effectors, DTI detection systems, Sawtooth fixed-site protection, DefenseOS command-and-control software and IonStrike, an autonomous kinetic interceptor.
