Ondas Buys GATE and Bron for $205M, Adding Electronic Fuzing to Precision-Strike Stack
ONDS sits 48% above its 52-week low of $4.95 on light trading volume (0.3× avg).
Summary
Ondas is acquiring GATE Technologies and Bron Technologies for $205 million (mostly cash) plus up to $185 million in earn-outs, adding electronic safe-and-arm devices and fuzing technology to its precision-strike platform. GATE brings non-ITAR production in Poland and integration into over 90 weapon systems, with expected revenue of $65 million in 2026 rising to $180 million by 2028. The deal follows Ondas' recent acquisitions of Cyberhawk and DZYNE Technologies, extending its push into autonomous defense systems. The earn-out is tied to financial targets through 2028 and can be paid in cash or stock, while the company also granted 300,000 inducement stock options at $7.23 to 41 new employees. This acquisition fills a critical supply-chain gap in electronic fuzing, where qualified capacity is a bottleneck, and positions Ondas to capture growth in loitering munitions and precision weapons.
