Ondas Secures $3.2 Million Order to Expand the Optimus Drone Infrastructure in the UAE
UAE's Pioneering "Drone Box" Program, Powered by Ondas' Optimus System, is Designed to Establish a Permanent Infrastructure of Autonomous Drones Capable of Rapidly Responding to Public Safety and Emergency Incidents
Optimus Systems are Currently Deployed in the UAE Where Thousands of Flights Have Been Conducted
The Order Strengthens Ondas' Position as a Global Provider of Trusted Defense Technology, Homeland Security and Public Safety Solutions for Governmental and Critical Missions
BOSTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / April 1, 2025 / Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:ONDS) ("Ondas" or the "Company"), a leading provider of private industrial wireless networks and commercial drone and automated data solutions, announced today that it has secured a $3.2 million purchase order from a governmental entity in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The new order supports the continued buildout of urban autonomous drone infrastructure in the UAE and expands the existing Optimus drone network, which is operated by the local government as part of its broader Safe and Smart City initiatives.
"We are witnessing the network effect of the Optimus drone network in UAE," said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas Holdings. "The effectiveness of the Optimus System and its ability to reduce response times of emergency units have been proven during our operations there, and this order further validates the system's value. We are proud to support the UAE's leadership in Drone as First Responder (DFR) technology, which is also developing in the US. We believe that our Optimus system is the most mature and robust platform in the market and certified for such critical security operations. We look forward to replicating this success in other cities around the world."
This project is part of a pioneering "Drone Box" program, which is designed to establish a permanent infrastructure of autonomous drones capable of responding to public safety and emergency incidents within seconds. Powered by Ondas' Optimus System, the network facilitates aerial data collection, real-time video streaming, and mission automation across densely populated urban areas. The systems are currently deployed and have already conducted thousands of operational drone flights in support of critical governmental services.
Under this order, Ondas will supply additional Optimus Systems - each including an autonomous drone, a smart airbase, and advanced command-and-control software. These systems are specifically designed for urban environments and strategic facilities that require rapid security, monitoring, and emergency response. Each drone in the system is capable of performing a wide range of missions, utilizing interchangeable payloads and sensors, with all operations overseen remotely from a centralized command center.
The Optimus System has been deployed as drone infrastructure with real world autonomous security operations since 2021. Each Optimus System can autonomously launch, land, recharge, and swap payloads without human intervention, providing 24/7 non-stop aerial capabilities and covering areas of up to 30 square miles from a single airbase. This order reflects continued momentum for Ondas in global homeland security, public safety, and defense markets, reinforcing the Company's strategy to deliver critical, autonomous technology to governmental and private customers around the world.
