Ondas Holdings Inc., a provider of autonomous aerial and ground robot intelligence through its Ondas Autonomous Systems (OAS) announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Sentry CS Ltd.(Sentrycs), a provider of Cyber-over-RF (CoRF) and Protocol-Manipulation counter-UAS technology.
With rapid growth, combat-proven deployments across 25 countries, and fully operational threat mitigation, Sentrycs has emerged as a leading force in the global Counter-UAS market across both defense and civilian environments. Leveraging its proprietary Cyber-over-RF (CoRF) technology, Sentrycs has redefined the standards of drone detection and mitigation by operating directly at the communication-protocol layer – allowing authorities and defense operators to detect, identify, track, and take control of hostile drones within seconds, safely landing and seizing the device while limiting risk to public safety or collateral damage. This breakthrough capability delivers safe, precise, and regulation-compliant mitigation without jamming, spoofing, or collateral interference, offering what Ondas believes is unmatched reliability in the world’s most complex and contested airspaces.
“The addition of Sentrycs will strengthen our leadership in counter-UAS and solidify Ondas’ position as a full-spectrum provider of autonomous defense solutions,” said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas Holdings. “Passive RF detection and tracking are essential to modern layered defense, and Sentrycs brings a proven technology platform already deployed across sensitive airspace, critical infrastructure and border environments. By integrating Sentrycs with our Iron Drone Raider system, we expect to deliver a unified detect-to-defeat solution that addresses the rapidly evolving threat landscape for our defense and homeland security customers worldwide.”
The acquisition will accelerate Ondas’ “Systems-of-Systems” roadmap, integrating autonomous platforms, sensors, effectors, command-and-control, and secure communications into a unified defense architecture. Sentrycs’ proprietary passive RF technology enables military and security operators to detect, identify, track, and take control of hostile drones without reliance on GPS or kinetic engagement. Combined with Iron Drone’s autonomous interception system, the result will be the industry’s first truly full-spectrum Counter-UAS solution-a seamless detect-to-defeat ecosystem that unites detection, decision, and engagement capabilities. The addition of Sentrycs’ proven cyber-RF layer will position OAS as a unique provider of fully integrated, field-proven, multi-domain C-UAS defense.
“Sentrycs’ advanced cyber detection and takeover technology will add a critical layer of intelligence and early warning to our counter-UAS ecosystem,” said Oshri Lugassy, Co-CEO of Ondas Autonomous Systems. “By combining their advanced detection and identification capabilities with our Iron Drone Raider interceptor, we will deliver an integrated detect-to-defeat solution that adapts to any environment-from urban areas and critical infrastructure to complex battlefield conditions. This acquisition is expected to strengthen our ability to provide mission-proven, automated airspace protection to defense and security customers worldwide.”
Sentrycs’ Technology
Sentrycs’ product line includes fixed, mobile, vehicle-mounted, and tactical configurations, designed for scalable protection of critical infrastructure, military bases, airports, and border zones. Its software-defined architecture runs on standard Intel-based hardware and Docker containers, providing exceptional flexibility, cost-efficiency, and integration readiness.
A core innovation of the Company is the Horizon Engine, an AI-driven detection and mitigation layer introduced in 2025. Horizon continuously analyzes the radio-frequency spectrum, autonomously recognizing new or modified drone protocols in real time. This capability enables rapid adaptation to DIY, modified, and emerging drone threats, ensuring protection in dynamic operational environments.
Sentrycs is recognized globally for its ease of use, five-minute setup time, and ability to operate as either a standalone sensor or an integrated node within multi-layered defense architectures. Its open C2 system allows seamless integration with third-party sensors, radars, and kinetic effectors – including Iron Drone’s autonomous interceptors – enabling an interoperable, full-spectrum Counter-UAS solution. Strategic Impact for Ondas.
