Exhibit 99.1
Ondas Secures $14.3 Million Order from a Leading Defense Customer for Optimus Drone Systems
Order Represents Largest Optimus System Order to Date, Reinforcing Expansion in Global Defense and Security Markets
Increases Ondas’ Backlog to $28.7 Million, Up from $10.0 Million at Start of 2025
BOSTON, MA / June 9, 2025 / Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:ONDS) (“Ondas” or the “Company”), a leading provider of private industrial wireless networks and commercial drone and automated data solutions, today announced that its subsidiary, Airobotics Ltd., has secured a $14.3 million purchase order from a major defense customer for multiple units of its Optimus System, the Company’s advanced autonomous drone platform. The Optimus System enables fully autonomous data captured across a variety of applications, and we believe the system stands out as one of the most advanced platforms available on the market. This order represents Ondas’ largest single purchase order for the Optimus System.
“We’re proud to expand our partnership with a key defense customer through this strategic order,” said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas Holdings. “Our Optimus platform is proving to be a critical enabler for modern security operations, particularly in military applications requiring autonomous, round-the-clock coverage to secure borders and strategic facilities under complex and constrained conditions.”
The purchase order marks a significant milestone in Ondas Holdings’ strategic roadmap, underscoring its accelerated expansion into the global defense and homeland security markets. Building on its commitment to deliver advanced autonomous drone solutions, Ondas is focused on leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance critical infrastructure protection, border security, and strategic surveillance capabilities. This deal validates the competitive strengths and operational maturity of the Optimus System and also reinforces Ondas’ position as a trusted provider of sophisticated, autonomous platforms capable of performing in complex, high-stakes military environments. Moving forward, the Company intends to further deepen its relationships with defense customers globally, which should drive revenue growth and expand its market presence through continued innovation and strategic partnerships.
“We believe our Optimus System represents the pinnacle of drone-in-a-box technology, providing unmatched autonomy and operational reliability for governmental entities worldwide,” said Oshri Lugassy, Co-CEO of Ondas Autonomous Systems. “We see significant potential for further adoption across global defense and public safety sectors, as more agencies recognize the compelling advantages of deploying a robust, fully autonomous aerial platform capable of persistent, real-time monitoring and data collection in demanding operational environments.”
This purchase order significantly increases Ondas’ current revenue backlog to $28.7 million, net of VAT impacts on orders – from $10 million at the start of 2025. The increasing order book and an expanding customer pipeline for Ondas’ drone business underscores the growing market adoption of the Company’s Optimus and Iron Drone Raider systems and supports the Company’s optimistic outlook for sustained growth through 2025 and beyond.
