Ondas Receives $15.8 Million Initial Order, Part of $30 Million Demining Program Secured by 4M Defense in Israel
West Palm Beach, FL — March 10, 2026 — Ondas Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS) announced that its subsidiary 4M Defense has received a first operational order worth approximately $15.8 million under a multi-year national demining initiative in Israel. The award is the opening phase of a program valued at over $30 million via competitive tender and includes options that could bring total program value to as much as $60 million over subsequent phases.
What the initial order covers
- Contract value: ~$15.8 million for the first execution phase
- Total tender value: >$30 million, with structured milestones
- Follow-on potential: Up to an additional $30 million in later phases
- Timeline: Initial execution period of up to three years, with options for extension and scope expansion
The project centers on clearing legacy minefields and unexploded ordnance along the Israel–Syria border. The initial scope spans roughly 3,000 dunams—about 740 acres—of challenging terrain. 4M Defense will deploy autonomous ground robots, aerial drones, and advanced sensing payloads to survey, detect, and neutralize explosive hazards, significantly reducing risks for on-the-ground personnel.
Technology-led demining
4M Defense’s toolset integrates autonomous robotics with aerial mapping and multi-sensor detection to speed up area reduction and hazard confirmation. The approach emphasizes:
- Autonomous ground systems to navigate complex terrain
- Drone-based imaging and mapping for rapid, high-accuracy surveying
- Advanced sensor fusion and data analytics to detect and classify threats
- Workflows designed to minimize human exposure during neutralization
“We are pleased to begin execution of this important national demining project and to see the first order issued under the program,” said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas. “Large-scale land clearance operations are increasingly benefiting from advanced robotics, autonomous systems, and aerial mapping technologies that improve safety and efficiency. This program highlights how innovative technologies can transform demining operations while addressing complex security and environmental challenges. We believe the capabilities developed by 4M Defense position Ondas to support similar initiatives globally.”
Oshri Lugassy, Co-CEO of Ondas Autonomous Systems, added: “Smart demining technologies are transforming the way governments approach land-clearance missions. By combining robotics, drone-based mapping, and advanced sensor technologies, we are able to significantly accelerate the surveying and reduction of hazardous areas while improving safety for operational teams. This project demonstrates the value of integrating autonomous technologies into critical national infrastructure and security programs.”
Strategic significance for Ondas
The demining initiative aligns with Ondas’ broader strategy to deliver autonomous capabilities across the full lifecycle of border and national security missions. Beyond land clearance, Ondas and its OAS business unit support aerial surveillance, counter‑UAS defense, robotics-enabled ground operations, and post-conflict remediation. Strong execution on this phase could lead to expanded orders as the multi-year program advances.
