Ondas completes Rotron purchase
Ondas Holdings completed its acquisition of Rotron Aerospace, folding advanced propulsion tech and long‑range unmanned aircraft into Ondas’ portfolio for UK/NATO defense customers. The deal accelerates access to propulsion hardware and UAS platforms — a practical signal for regional supply‑chain shifts in propulsion R&D.
Ondas formally closed the acquisition of Rotron Aerospace Ltd. on March 16, 2026, according to the company’s press release announcing the transaction.

(rotronaero.com) Ondas’ filing and news release state the acquisition is intended to establish a UK industrial base and provide “fast‑track access” to UK Ministry of Defence and NATO programs from a London/West Palm Beach corporate footing. (ir.ondas.com) The Rotron deal was announced alongside other growth moves by Ondas, with coverage noting a pair of transactions including 4M Defense and reporting a year‑over‑year share performance spike cited in market commentary.
