American Marconi Wireless News - Ondas Appoints Former Rafael President & CEO Major General (Ret.) Yoav Har-Even to Ondas Autonomous Systems Advisory Board

BOSTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / November 10, 2025 / Ondas Holdings 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 the appointment of Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Yoav Har-Even, former President & CEO of Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd., Israel's leading national defense technology company and a key global supplier of advanced air, land, and cyber defense solutions, to the Advisory Board of Ondas Autonomous Systems (OAS).

Har-Even's career spans nearly four decades across Israel's defense forces and industry, where he has led complex operational and technological programs. As President & CEO of Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, he led the company through a period of significant growth and international collaboration, solidifying Rafael's position as a leader in advanced defense technologies. He guided the company through global expansion and the development of some of Israel's most renowned defense technologies, including the Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Trophy Active Protection systems. Rafael serves as a major supplier to the IDF and is a trusted partner to defense organizations in over 80 countries worldwide. Rafael's innovations in intercept, precision-strike, and electronic-warfare technologies have positioned it as one of the world's leading defense primes and a cornerstone of Israel's national security and export industries.

"Yoav's exceptional record as both a military commander and a defense-industry leader makes him an extraordinary addition to the OAS Advisory Board," said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas Holdings. "His perspective on global defense collaboration and organizational growth will be instrumental as we scale OAS operations worldwide and advance our strategic acquisition strategy to expand Ondas' platform and partnerships."

"Yoav's perspective combines decades of operational expertise with a deep understanding of defense-industry execution," said Oshri Lugassy, Co-CEO of OAS. "He has overseen the evolution of breakthrough technologies from concept to deployment and understands what defense customers expect from autonomous systems in real operations. We're proud to have him join our team as we scale our ISR and counter-UAS solutions globally."

OAS continues to strengthen its advisory network with leaders from the global defense and technology community. The expanded board will support Ondas' next phase of growth - guiding product integration, strategic partnerships, and international expansion as the company advances its role in multi-domain autonomy and airspace defense. In 2025, OAS achieved record international orders for its Optimus and Iron Drone Raider systems across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, while launching a strategic acquisition program to broaden OAS's solutions portfolio and accelerate operational scale and financial returns. The OAS Advisory Board assumes a critical role in ensuring that this growth continues through informed strategic decision-making, disciplined execution, and the alignment of Ondas' technology roadmap with the evolving operational needs of allied defense and homeland-security forces worldwide.
