Ondas has won a multi-million-euro order from a major NATO-country, building on its successful live deployment of the Iron Drone Raider interceptor at an international airport. This marks one of the first operational uses of a counter-UAS interceptor in a complex civil aviation environment, validating the technology under real-world conditions.

The Iron Drone Raider employs a net-based kinetic interception system that neutralizes hostile drones safely and precisely, minimizing collateral risk and operational disruption. Its design is optimized for urban and aviation settings where RF jamming and ballistic interceptors are impractical or pose significant hazards.

Ondas is integrating the Raider counter-drone with Sentrycs cyber-over-RF mitigation and Insight Intelligent Sensors’ optical detection and AI classification. This layered, end-to-end solution enables detection, identification, electronic mitigation and precision interception from a single vendor.

The new contract immediately boosts Ondas’ defense backlog and revenue visibility, and creates a blueprint for repeatable airport-to-airport deployments. The win strengthens the company’s foothold in the multi-billion-euro civil counter-UAS market and supports expansion across Europe’s regulated infrastructures.
