Arizona Tribune - Ondas Receives $10 Million Initial Order, Part of a $50 Million Award, to Launch Large-Scale Border Demining Program Along Israel's Eastern Border

WEST PALM BEACH, FL / ACCESS Newswire / April 20, 2026 / Ondas Inc. (Nasdaq:ONDS) ("Ondas" or the "Company"), 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, today announced that its subsidiary, 4M Defense has received an $10 million order as part of the recently announced $50 million demining program related to the $1.7 billion Eastern Border Security Barrier initiative led by the Israeli Ministry of Defense.

The award represents the initial phase of execution under the recently announced tender and expands Ondas' active demining operations. The contract is part of a broader border security initiative led by the Israel Ministry of Defense, where large-scale land clearance is required to support the development of new infrastructure along Israel's eastern border, including the evacuation of legacy minefields to enable construction of a new security fence system.

"We now have two active land clearing programs underway with 4M Defense with approximately $80 million in aggregate value," said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas Inc. "These are multi-phase programs with defined expansion pathways, providing both near-term revenue visibility and the potential to grow into larger, long-duration engagements. As governments prioritize border security and infrastructure development, we are positioning Ondas to capture a growing share of this market with proven, deployable solutions."

Execution will be carried out using 4M Defense's integrated intelligence platform, combining autonomous ground robotics, aerial drone-based mapping, advanced sensing technologies, and AI-driven data processing. This coordinated approach enables efficient surveying, precise detection, and systematic clearance of hazardous areas while reducing operational risk and improving timelines compared to traditional methods.

"These programs validate our ability to execute at scale and reinforce the role of 4M Defense within the broader Ondas platform," said Oshri Lugassy, Co-CEO of Ondas Autonomous Systems. "We are establishing a repeatable operating model for large-scale demining that can be deployed across additional programs and geographies, supported by integrated systems of systems capabilities that bring together aerial intelligence, ground robotics, and advanced sensing into a unified framework."

With initial execution now underway, the eastern border program includes additional phases expected to be authorized over time based on milestone progress. This comes in addition to the previously announced $30 million Israel-Syria boarder demining project in March, for which Ondas has received a $15.8 million order. This contract, through which 4M Defense will demine 740 acres along the Israel-Syria border, includes the potential for an additional $30 million in follow-on phases over the coming years, representing up to $60 million program value. Ondas is building a scalable foundation for continued expansion in technology-driven land clearance, with opportunities to extend into additional national programs and international markets.
