Arizona Tribune - Ondas Announces $10 Million Strategic Investment in World View and Signs Partnership Agreement to Accelerate Multi-Domain ISR Solutions

WEST PALM BEACH, FL AND TUCSON, AZ / ACCESS Newswire / March 2, 2026 / Ondas Inc. (Nasdaq:ONDS) ("Ondas"), a leading provider of autonomous aerial and ground robot intelligence through its Ondas Autonomous Systems (OAS) business unit and private wireless solutions through Ondas Networks, and World View Enterprises, Inc. ("World View") a leader in high-altitude balloon ISR and stratospheric remote sensing, today announced that Ondas has made a $10 million strategic investment in World View. The companies also announced they have entered into a partnership agreement that outlines a collaboration framework for the development of multi-domain and multi-modal intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) solutions for commercial and defense customers.

Under the partnership agreement, Ondas and World View will explore and advance integrated offerings that combine World View's high-altitude, long-endurance stratospheric balloon systems with Ondas' portfolio of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) capabilities. The companies plan to evaluate joint solution architectures, priority mission applications, and potential go-to-market approaches serving customers across the U.S. Department of War (DoW), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), allied defense and homeland security organizations, and critical infrastructure operators.

"This investment reflects our conviction that customers increasingly need layered sensing and responsive autonomy across operating environments," said Eric Brock, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ondas. "World View brings differentiated stratospheric persistence and wide-area overwatch capabilities that complement Ondas' tactical aerial autonomy and related systems. With this financing and partnership agreement, we are taking a pragmatic first step to begin working together on integrated multi-domain solutions while we evaluate broader opportunities to accelerate productization and go-to-market execution."

Ryan Hartman, Chief Executive Officer of World View, said, "World View has been building persistent stratospheric capabilities designed for high-value missions that require endurance, resilience, and wide-area coverage. This strategic investment from Ondas supports near-term execution as we expand our multi-domain roadmap. The partnership agreement provides a structured path to collaborate on solutions that connect persistent stratospheric sensing with tactical autonomy, aiming to deliver unified insights and faster mission outcomes for customers."

Strategic Collaboration Focus

The companies will prioritize workstreams including:

• Solution concepts that integrate stratospheric persistence with tactical autonomy for layered ISR coverage

• Target mission applications and customer use cases across defense, homeland security, and critical infrastructure

• Technical and operational integration planning, including data handling and interoperability considerations

• Joint go-to-market evaluation, including partner engagement and customer discovery
