Arizona Tribune - Ondas Secures U.S. Army Order for Lethal Unmanned Systems for Over $50 Million

WEST PALM BEACH, FL / ACCESS Newswire / August 5, 2026 / Ondas Inc. (Nasdaq:ONDS) ("Ondas" or the "Company"), a leading provider of autonomous systems and next-generation defense and security technologies, announced today that its U.S.-based defense prime contractor, Mistral Inc., has received an over $50 million order from the U.S. Army for tactical Lethal Unmanned Systems (LUS). The order was issued under a previously awarded $982 million multi-year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity ("IDIQ") contract supporting the U.S. Army's Lethal Unmanned Systems (LUS) program. Combined with the initial $190.8 million award under the LUS program, Mistral's total awards to date exceed $240 million.

The award represents an important expansion of Ondas' position in the precision-strike market. Together with Ondas' DZYNE and Rotron, Mistral strengthens Ondas' ability to develop, integrate, and deliver a broader portfolio of precision-strike solutions across multiple ranges, missions, and operational environments. Precision-strike is a rapidly growing segment of the global defense industry driven by increasing demand for accurate, responsive and deployable strike capabilities. The order also demonstrates the strategic rationale behind Ondas' acquisition of Mistral. Mistral provides Ondas with established access to major U.S. defense programs, long-standing customer relationships, prime-contractor capabilities and the infrastructure required to execute large, complex government programs.

"This order moves Ondas deeper into the precision-strike market, where demand from the U.S. Department of War and allied forces continues to accelerate," said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas. "Our focus now is on execution. Mistral is already producing systems for delivery beginning in the third quarter of 2026 under the initial LUS order, and this new award extends that production runway on the same Army contract vehicle. Our expanding operating footprint in the United States makes Ondas increasingly well positioned to compete for and execute large, multi-year programs like this one."

Mistral's established position within the U.S. defense ecosystem complements Ondas' growing portfolio of autonomous technologies, mission-planning capabilities, unmanned systems and advanced defense solutions. Ondas believes this combination creates opportunities to participate in a broader range of defense programs and to support customers across the full operational mission cycle, including intelligence and surveillance, target identification, mission planning, autonomous operations, precision strike and post-mission assessment. The award represents continued execution under the multi-year U.S. Army contract vehicle and provides Ondas with increased visibility into future production, integration, training and sustainment activity.

Ondas expects demand for tactical precision-strike and loitering-munition capabilities to continue expanding as the United States and allied defense forces prioritize distributed, autonomous and rapidly deployable systems. The order further demonstrates Ondas' strategy of combining differentiated technologies with established defense businesses that bring market access, customer relationships, manufacturing capacity and large-scale program-execution capabilities
