Ondas wins $6.9M counter-drone order from Australian Defence
Ondas Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS) announced a $6.9 million order from the Australian Department of Defence for its DTIM Single Operator Counter-sUAS Kits, secured through a partnership with Australian distributor HIFraser, according to a company press release.
The order was formally awarded to DZYNE Technologies, which Ondas acquired and subsequently folded into Ondas Sentinel, its U.S. defense division. Ondas Sentinel will begin delivery of DTI systems under the contract.
The DTIM Kits combine a detection platform with the Dronebuster (DB4) handheld effector. Each kit offers omnidirectional drone detection at ranges exceeding 25 kilometers, Remote ID and AeroScope tracking, AI-powered drone identification, and integrated mitigation with an optional positioning, navigation and timing attack capability. The kits also support TAK display integration. Ondas states that more than 3,000 Dronebuster units have been deployed worldwide.
"Australia's investment in Ondas' DTIM Kits underscores the increasing global priority around counter-UAS readiness and the need for trusted, scalable technologies," said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas Inc.
Ryan Hartman, President and CEO of Ondas Sentinel, said the order reflects demand from allied defense customers for counter-UAS capabilities that can be deployed quickly by single operators.
Debora Fortkamp, Chief Strategy Officer at HIFraser, said the kits align with the needs of Australian operators in the current operational environment.
