(ONDS) stock rose 0.69% to $7.28 in pre-market trading after closing Monday at $7.23. The move followed Ondas’ acquisition of GATE Technologies and affiliated manufacturer Bron Technologies. The transaction expands Ondas’ position across electronic fuzing, autonomous weapons, and precision-strike systems.Ondas Holdings Inc., ONDSOndas Expands Precision Strike Business With GATE AcquisitionOndas agreed to pay $205 million upfront for GATE and Bron, including cash and common stock. The company will pay $105 million in cash and issue $100 million of Ondas common stock. Performance targets could add another $185 million, bringing the potential transaction value to $390 million.GATE develops electronic safe-and-arm devices and advanced fuzing systems for modern weapons. Its products support rockets, missiles, unmanned aircraft, loitering munitions, and other precision-strike platforms. Bron adds European manufacturing, certification, and production capabilities to the acquired operations.The deal strengthens Ondas’ existing autonomous defense portfolio with another critical weapons component. Ondas already provides strike platforms, propulsion, communications, engineering, and software-based mission systems. GATE adds safety, arming, and initiation technology within that broader precision-strike architecture.GATE Revenue Growth Could Strengthen Ondas Financial PerformanceOndas expects GATE to generate about $65 million in revenue during full-year 2026. Management projects revenue could reach $180 million by 2028 as production and customer programs expand. The acquired business should also contribute more than $130 million in adjusted EBITDA through 2028.GATE has developed its electronic fuzing technologies since its founding in 2006. Its RUBI product family uses proprietary initiation technology with compact electronic designs and no moving mechanical parts. The company has developed about 100 RUBI LM configurations for different weapons and operating conditions.Its technology has also secured positions across more than 90 weapons systems globally. These existing qualifications can create long product cycles because manufacturers require extensive testing before changing key components. Therefore, Ondas expects GATE to benefit as qualified weapons programs move toward larger production volumes.Ondas Targets Growing Global Loitering Munitions MarketDemand for precision weapons continues to expand as governments rebuild inventories and modernize military systems. MarketsandMarkets projects the loitering munitions market will increase significantly during the second half of this decade. The market could grow from about $5.4 billion in 2025 to approximately $13.3 billion by 2030.That forecast represents an estimated compound annual growth rate of about 20% during the period. Each munition requires safety and initiation components before manufacturers can deploy it in operational environments. GATE could therefore gain additional orders as production expands across missiles, drones, and loitering weapon programs.Ondas also plans to increase GATE’s engineering and manufacturing capacity across several markets. GATE currently generates about 80% of its revenue outside the Middle East. Meanwhile, Ondas expects U.S.-produced finished products and integrated systems to become available during the first half of 2027. The post Ondas Inc.
