Ondas Holdings received a purchase order under its Digital Bat program to develop and produce its next-generation, low-cost tactical attack drones. The order moves the program closer to manufacturing. Ondas sees potential demand for tens of thousands of the autonomous drones.

Ondas plans to establish dedicated production capabilities to meet that expected demand. It intends to use its planned acquisition of ARAN Defense to create a dedicated production line for its Precision Strike business segment and provide scalable manufacturing infrastructure for future programs.
