Ondas to Invest up to $11M in Drone Fight Group to Access Advanced Ukrainian Drone Technology

Ondas Holdings Inc., a provider of autonomous aerial and ground robot intelligence through its Ondas Autonomous Systems (OAS) business unit and private wireless solutions through Ondas Networks, has announced its intent to invest up to $11 million in Drone Fight Group (DFG), a Ukrainian developer of advanced unmanned aerial systems.

This investment—to be executed through the Company’s strategic advisory and investment platform, Ondas Capital—represents Ondas’ first planned capital deployment in support of battle-tested Ukrainian defence technologies.

DFG is a fast-scaling innovator in high-performance unmanned systems that have been forged and refined through intense combat in Ukraine. DFG’s platforms include strike-optimized FPV systems, ISR drones, autonomous mission technologies, and cutting-edge drone simulators. These reflect battlefield models of adaptability, mission effectiveness, and accelerated production cycles.

Through Ondas Capital, Ondas intends to support DFG’s global expansion, enabling broader adoption of Ukrainian unmanned capabilities across the United States and allied nations. This strategic relationship is designed and intended to support efforts to strengthen the defense industrial base across allied nations by opening new channels for combat-proven technologies that can complement emerging defense modernization initiatives and training tools.

“Ukraine has become the proving ground for modern unmanned systems, driving unprecedented innovation under real operational pressures,” said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas. “Our planned investment in Drone Fight Group represents a deliberate step to bring this combat-proven innovation into the United States and allied industrial base. Through Ondas Capital, we are building a bridge that accelerates access to high-impact autonomous capabilities that meet urgent mission needs.”

Ondas Capital will host DFG at a first-of-its-kind U.S. event in Silicon Valley where tech leaders, defense industry decision makers, and investors will get a behind-the-scenes look at a Ukrainian unmanned aerial system that has been tested and proven on the frontlines of the war. This will be the first time DFG’s drones are shown in the U.S., offering a unique chance to hear directly from the Ukrainian team that built and uses them in real operations, including their frontline instructor "Sasquatch."

Ondas expects its support of DFG to help broaden the availability of agile, scalable unmanned systems tailored for defense and homeland security missions. In addition to capital, Ondas Capital will provide strategic support to help position DFG’s technologies for multi-year procurement programs in the U.S. and international markets.

This investment aligns with Ondas’ multi-domain unmanned systems strategy, expanding the Company’s technology ecosystem across aerial, ground, and counter-UAS platforms, and is subject to finalization of terms, entry into a definitive agreement and compliance requirements. By sourcing, supporting, and integrating high-value autonomous systems, the Company aims to deliver enhanced operational effectiveness and mission readiness for customers worldwide.
