Ondas Holdings Inc has secured a USD 3.2 million purchase order from a governmental entity in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The new order supports the continued buildout of urban autonomous drone infrastructure in the UAE and expands the existing Optimus drone network, which is operated by the local government as part of its broader Safe and Smart City initiatives.
The project is part of the “Drone Box” programme, which is designed to establish a permanent infrastructure of autonomous drones capable of responding to public safety and emergency incidents within seconds. Powered by Ondas’ American Robotics Optimus System, the network is designed to enable aerial data collection, real-time video streaming, and mission automation across densely populated urban areas. The systems are currently deployed and have already conducted thousands of operational drone flights in support of critical governmental services.
Under this new order, Ondas will supply additional Optimus Systems – each including an autonomous drone, a smart airbase and command-and-control software, specifically designed for urban environments and facilities that require rapid response.
