Three-year agreement, extendable by two years, covers drone inspection and surveying across SSE plc's UK transmission and distribution networks Scope expands to offshore wind turbine inspection, extending Cyberhawk into SSE's offshore renewable generation assets Third consecutive long-term award in a relationship spanning more than ten years, alongside a renewed multi-year iHawk™ as a Service agreement WEST PALM BEACH, FL / ACCESS Newswire / September 28, 2026 / Ondas Inc. (NASDAQ:ONDS) ("Ondas" or the "Company"), a leading provider of advanced autonomous systems and next-generation defense and security technologies, announced today that its subsidiary Cyberhawk, a global leader in critical infrastructure intelligence, drone-based inspection, visual data management and AI-enabled analytics, has secured a new three-year agreement, with an option to extend for a further two years, with SSE plc's economically-regulated networks businesses, SSEN Transmission and SSEN Distribution for the provision of specialist drone inspection and surveying services across its British electricity networks. SSE's transmission and distribution networks comprise thousands of kilometers of critical electricity infrastructure across mainland Britain.

Ondas is acquiring three defense technology businesses for $56 million, adding AI sensing, resilient communications and GPS-independent capabilities.

High short interest stocks draw attention for a simple reason. They show where Wall Street's skepticism is concentrated.

Acquisitions add field-deployed and near-term mission-ready capabilities across acoustic intelligence, resilient communications, remote operations and GNSS-denied navigation, strengthening existing Ondas platforms and enabling new integrated solutions and revenue opportunities. Insignito adds a unique passive acoustic sensing layer to detect, classify, and track drones particularly useful for small FPV drone systems and fiber optic systems that are difficult to detect by traditional methods.

ONDS' rapid revenue ramp and M&A expansion face off with AVAV's larger backlog, major defense programs and profitable growth outlook.

Ondas' $205M GATE deal expands its defense footprint, adding ESAD expertise and manufacturing capabilities as loitering munitions demand grows.

GATE Technologies is a leading developer and manufacturer of Electronic Safe & Arm Devices (ESADs) and advanced electronic fuzing solutions, with its technology integrated into dozens of weapon systems including UAVs, loitering munitions, missiles and rockets Adds a critical layer of the precision-strike technology stack with NATO-based, non-ITAR production in Poland, while expanding Ondas' access to U.S. and European programs WEST PALM BEACH, FL / ACCESS Newswire / September 14, 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 that it has acquired GATE Technologies Ltd. ("GATE"), an Israeli-based defense technology company specializing in Electronic Safe & Arm Devices ("ESADs") and advanced electronic fuzing technologies used across modern precision weapons and autonomous strike systems, and Bron Technologies ("Bron"), a European manufacturing, certification and an affiliated company to GATE's systems.

ONDS sees strong global Counter-UAS demand as Sentrycs posts about 298% pro forma Q2 growth and IonStrike moves toward volume orders in second-half 2026.

ONDS has raised its 2026 revenue target to $525-$550 million, but hitting it hinges on a steep H2 ramp in backlog conversion and production scaling.
