Ondas Buyout Move: Inside The $205 Million Defense Expansion!

Ondas has taken another major step in expanding its autonomous defense platform through the acquisition of Israel-based GATE Technologies and affiliated Bron Technologies for $205 million. The transaction comes as Ondas aggressively scales its exposure to Precision Strike, Counter-UAS, persistent intelligence, and autonomous defense systems under its broader One Ondas strategy. GATE manufactures Electronic Safe & Arm Devices, or ESADs, and advanced electronic fuzing systems used in UAVs, loitering munitions, missiles, and rockets, while Bron adds manufacturing capacity in Poland and access to European defense customers. Beyond the initial consideration, the transaction includes up to $185 million of performance-based consideration and a working-capital adjustment. Ondas expects the acquired businesses to generate approximately $65 million of revenue in 2026, potentially rising to $180 million by 2028, while contributing more than $130 million of aggregate adjusted EBITDA through 2028. The strategic rationale extends well beyond acquired revenue.
