Insights
Ondas' strategic investment in Rift Dynamics creates significant U.S. defense market opportunity with scalable drone production capabilities.
Ondas Holdings' strategic investment in Norway's Rift Dynamics represents a calculated expansion into the high-demand defense drone market. The partnership secures exclusive U.S. distribution rights for Rift's 奥氓蝉辫 platform, an NDAA-compliant loitering strike drone specifically designed for battlefield applications. This complements Ondas' existing autonomous systems portfolio with a critical low-cost attritable option.
The initial order of 500 奥氓蝉辫 units signals immediate market entry potential, while Rift's established manufacturing infrastructure capable of producing 20,000+ systems monthly addresses a critical pain point in defense procurement 鈥� scalable production capacity. This positions Ondas to potentially capitalize on urgent defense requirements for mass-deployable systems.
Most compelling is Rift's fully developed European supply chain free from Chinese components, which aligns perfectly with current U.S. defense priorities for secure, allied-nation sourcing. The 奥氓蝉辫 platform's NATO interoperability, EASA C2 compliance, and Military Open 1A standards compatibility further streamline potential adoption.
With Ondas already actively bidding on Department of Defense programs and targeting October availability, this partnership strategically addresses the Pentagon's widely-acknowledged need for affordable, attritable drone systems that can be rapidly fielded at scale 鈥� precisely what traditional defense contractors have struggled to deliver efficiently.
The Rift Dynamics investment showcases Ondas' strategic pivot toward defense market opportunities through vertical integration. By securing exclusive U.S. distribution rights for the 奥氓蝉辫 platform, Ondas gains immediate entry into the attritable drone segment without incurring the substantial R&D costs typically associated with new platform development.
This deal structure offers multiple strategic advantages: it leverages Rift's existing European production capabilities (with capacity for 20,000+ units monthly), accelerates time-to-market with expected October deliveries, and positions Ondas as an integrator of complementary drone technologies rather than just a platform developer.
The board representation component ensures strategic alignment while the initial 500-unit order demonstrates meaningful commitment without overextending financially. Most critically, this partnership specifically addresses the defense sector's urgent demand for scalable drone solutions free from Chinese components.
For Ondas, which has traditionally focused on industrial wireless networks and autonomous systems, this represents a strategic portfolio expansion that increases addressable market size while maintaining technological alignment. The ability to now offer layered drone defense capabilities (combining 奥氓蝉辫 with existing Optimus and Iron Drone Raider platforms) significantly enhances Ondas' competitive positioning for comprehensive defense contracts rather than single-platform opportunities.

BOSTON, MA / / August 8, 2025 / (NASDAQ:ONDS), a leading provider of private industrial wireless networks and autonomous drone and data solutions through its Ondas Networks and Ondas Autonomous Systems business units, today announced a strategic investment in AS, a Norway-based defense technology company specializing in affordable, mass-producible combat drone systems. Through this partnership, American Robotics will exclusively introduce and distribute Rift's 奥氓蝉辫 platform to the U.S. defense market.
"Rift's mission to deliver high-performance, low-cost attritable drone systems at scale for the European Union and NATO aligns perfectly with the global demand for affordable, operationally effective platforms," said Eric Brock, CEO of Ondas Holdings. "We're proud to support this effort and bring these capabilities to the U.S. defense market. Knut Roar Wiig and the team at Rift have built an exceptional platform in the 奥氓蝉辫, engineered for scale, reliability, and mission impact. We look forward to supporting Rift's growth and helping deliver this critical capability to our defense partners in the United States."
The 奥氓蝉辫 is a multirole, combat-ready multicopter platform designed for attritable applications with support for modular payloads, BVLOS missions, and advanced autonomy. Tested by the Norwegian Army and built to meet NATO interoperability, EASA C2, and Military Open 1A standards, the 奥氓蝉辫 offers scalable production variants that include AI vision and swarm functionality. Rift's existing customer bases includes the Norwegian Army and Nammo, a leading European ammunition provider. To support customers and American Robotics, Rift has developed a robust European supply chain and contract manufacturing capability free from Chinese components, with the ability to produce over 20,000 units per month across three international sites within six months of order. This industrial readiness enables 奥氓蝉辫 to be deployed rapidly to meet pressing operational requirements. American Robotics has agreed to place an initial order for 500 奥氓蝉辫 units.
"We developed the 奥氓蝉辫 to meet the critical operational requirements of European defense and security forces by delivering an affordable, high-performance, and scalable drone system," said Knut Roar Wiig, CEO of Rift Dynamics. "Alongside the platform, we've built a resilient and scalable supply chain across Europe to ensure rapid availability at volume. With Ondas and American Robotics as partners, we're now positioned to bring this capability to new markets and allied defense customers."
The strategic investment enables Ondas to localize Rift's European-developed technologies and supply chain capabilities in the U.S. in support of American NATO-aligned defense efforts. The partnership also positions American Robotics to meet the urgent demand in the U.S. for scalable, low-cost attritable drone systems by offering the 奥氓蝉辫 platform as part of its growing portfolio of advanced unmanned systems. Through exclusive U.S. distribution rights, American Robotics is already active in bidding for Department of Defense programs and expects initial availability for delivery by October. Ondas' Eric Brock is expected to join the Rift Dynamics Board of Directors upon closing of the investment and partnership agreement.
