Shares of Ondas Inc (ONDS) were in focus on Monday after the company announced that it had received orders worth over $40 million in June so far, bringing total Q2 order activity past the $150 million mark.
Ondas said that it had received new orders for its autonomous defense systems, including anti-drone systems, loitering munition systems (LMS), ground systems and related defense services from governmental and defense customers across multiple international markets.
"Counter-UAS has become an urgent priority for governments around the world as drone threats continue to accelerate, and we are now seeing the next major wave of demand forming around Loitering Munition Systems and affordable long-range precision engagement,” said Eric Brock, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Ondas.
Brook also said that the company is seeing demand across Europe and the U.S., where defense customers are looking to strengthen their defensive and offensive autonomous capabilities.
At the time of writing, ONDS stock was down over 3% on Monday.
Orders received in June add up to the company’s previous orders of over $30 million in May across air defense, Counter-UAS, autonomous ISR, robotic systems and precision engagement technologies.
With these awards and orders, the company has crossed the mark of $150 million in the second quarter, showing an increased demand for its integrated autonomous systems architecture.
"In a short period of time, Ondas has assembled and integrated what we believe to be some of the most advanced and operationally proven autonomous technologies available anywhere in the world," said Oshri Lugassy, Co-Chief Executive Officer at Ondas Autonomous Systems.
The company sees continued demand for autonomous defense systems that can deliver scalable, cost-effective and integrated mission capabilities across segments such as Counter-UAS, LMS, ISR, ground robotics, electronic warfare and AI-enabled command-and-control.
Ondas added that its unit Rotron recently completed a successful flight trial of its SkyLance system under the UK Ministry of Defence's Project Brakestop. SkyLance is built for precision hits and a one-way attack system that covers a substantial operational range.
This program aims to advance the United Kingdom's next-generation long-range strike capability.
