Ondas announces $6.9m order for Australian Defence Force counter-drone kits

The order was formally awarded to DZYNE Technologies, now part of Ondas. Following the acquisition of DZYNE, the counter-UAS technologies and teams are now operating within Ondas Sentinel, the company’s dedicated US defence division.

“Australia’s investment in Ondas’ DTIM Kits underscores the increasing global priority around counter-UAS readiness and the need for trusted, scalable technologies,” said Ondas chairman and chief executive Eric Brock.

“This award is an important validation of our strategy to build a leading autonomous defence technology platform, combining advanced systems, operational expertise, and strong international partnerships to support mission-critical security needs worldwide.”

Each DTIM Kit delivers long-range omnidirectional drone detection up to 25-plus kilometres, remote ID and AeroScope tracking with real-time threat alerts, AI- and ML-powered drone identification with an updated threat library, integrated Dronebuster (DB4) mitigation with optional PNT attack capability, and seamless TAK display support for complete situational awareness.

The award further supports Ondas’ strategy to scale integrated defence technologies through Ondas Sentinel while expanding partnerships with allied customers worldwide.

HIFraser emphasised the importance of the capability for Australia’s rapidly evolving threat environment.

With production capacity already scaled, Ondas Sentinel will begin delivery of DTI systems under the contract and remains prepared to support future expansion as Australia strengthens its counter-UAS posture.

“We are proud to partner with Ondas Sentinel to bring cutting-edge single-operator counter-UAS capability to Australian forces,” said Debora Fortkamp, chief strategy officer at HIFraser.

“The DTIM Kits align directly with the needs of Australian operators in today’s complex operational environment.”
