Ondas Holdings shares surge 10.84% after-hours as strategic acquisitions of Sentrycs and expansion of counter-UAS capabilities drive market optimism.

Ondas Holdings surged 10.84% in after-hours trading following its acquisition of Sentrycs, a leader in counter-UAS cyber technology, and the expansion of its Rift Dynamics partnership to integrate attritable Wasp drones for U.S. defense markets. These moves, alongside a $150 million capital deployment initiative and strategic appointments like Brigadier General Patrick Huston to its advisory board, underscored the company’s aggressive expansion in autonomous defense systems. Recent contracts, including a $3.5 million order for ground robotics and a $2.7 million purchase for its Iron Drone Raider system, further reinforced investor confidence in Ondas’ ability to capitalize on growing demand for AI-powered security solutions. The integration of Palantir’s Foundry platform to scale operations also highlighted operational readiness for large-scale defense contracts, aligning with Pentagon priorities and boosting market sentiment.
