Ondas Inc. has acquired defense technology company DZYNE Technologies for $875.8 million(約1400億円), gaining access to autonomous aircraft, counter-drone systems, and AI-enabled defense platforms designed for contested environments.
The deal positions Ondas to serve U.S. and allied defense customers with integrated autonomous systems spanning surveillance, force protection, and precision operations.
DZYNE is expected to contribute $191 million(約310億円) in revenue this year and more than $300 million(約480億円) in 2027, with operations consolidated under a new Ondas Sentinel division.
What happened
Ondas Inc. acquired DZYNE Technologies, an Irvine, California defense company, for $875.8 million(約1400億円) in a cash-and-stock deal. DZYNE specializes in long-endurance autonomous aircraft, counter-drone systems, and AI-integrated defense technologies, and is expected to generate $191 million(約310億円) in revenue for 2026 and more than $300 million(約480億円) in 2027.
Why it matters
The acquisition gives Ondas complementary capabilities in multi-domain intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR); counter-unmanned aerial systems (UAS); and autonomous systems to address U.S. and allied defense customers' needs. Ondas CEO Eric Brock noted that military advantage increasingly depends on organizations capable of deploying autonomous systems at scale, making DZYNE's mission-ready platforms strategically valuable.
What to watch
Ondas has created a new operating division, Ondas Sentinel, to unify its autonomous defense portfolio, combining persistent ISR, counter-UAS, and autonomous effects. The division will be led by Ryan Hartman (CEO of World View, previously acquired by Ondas) as CEO, with DZYNE co-founder Matt McCue as chief technology officer. Ondas is targeting at least $525 million(約840億円) in total revenue for 2026.

Ondas' acquisition of DZYNE represents a strategic consolidation of autonomous defense capabilities at a time when military doctrine is shifting toward unmanned systems. DZYNE, founded in 2012, has already logged tens of thousands of operational flight hours with its systems, giving Ondas an operationally mature portfolio with established customer relationships across the defense community. The $875.8 million(約1400億円) price reflects the value of mission-proven technologies in a market where autonomous systems deployment at scale has become a competitive necessity.
The formation of Ondas Sentinel as a dedicated operating division signals an organizational alignment around U.S. defense contracting. By combining DZYNE's long-endurance ISR aircraft and counter-UAS systems with World View (which Ondas had previously acquired), the new division can offer layered solutions spanning surveillance, air defense, and logistics resupply—each addressing distinct mission needs. The appointment of DZYNE's co-founder as chief technology officer underscores Ondas' intent to preserve engineering talent and technical continuity, a common pattern in defense acquisitions where specialized expertise is critical.
For Ondas' financial profile, DZYNE's projected $191 million(約310億円) revenue for 2026 and more than $300 million(約480億円) for 2027 materially shifts the parent company's scale. Ondas is now targeting at least $525 million(約840億円) in total revenue for 2026, a figure meaningfully supported by DZYNE's contribution. The cash-and-stock structure, financed in part by the $217 million(約350億円) raised from Ondas' prior share offering, indicates confidence in integrating the acquisition without balance-sheet strain.
