Ondas (ONDS) is continuing its acquisition push.


The company agreed to acquire Aran Defense, the defense-focused business of Israel's Aran Ltd., adding engineering, integration and manufacturing capacity to support Ondas' rapidly expanding autonomous defense portfolio.



Aran serves Israeli government customers and international defense companies and brings something increasingly important to the Ondas story: physical production capacity.




Ondas says Aran's 2025 revenue was approximately $17 million and expects roughly $26 million in 2026, with positive adjusted EBITDA; the company says the acquisition expands engineering, integration and production resources in Israel.

Aran gives Ondas additional engineering, industrialization and production resources in Israel that could help convert autonomous-defense programs from development into manufactured systems. It joins a growing collection of businesses spanning autonomous drones, counter-UAS, precision strike, ground robotics, persistent intelligence and infrastructure inspection.


Despite Q2's enormous revenue growth, Ondas still reported an $89.7M net loss and $50.6M adjusted EBITDA loss.
