Ondas Holdings (ONDS) closed at $8.53, down 4.05%, after trading as high as $8.89 during a volatile session. Subsidiary Sentrycs announced a counter-drone collaboration with Lockheed Martin. The agreement places Sentrycs technology inside Lockheed Martin’s Sanctum defense platform.
Sentrycs Technology Joins Lockheed Martin’s Sanctum Platform
Sentrycs will integrate its Cyber-over-RF technology into Sanctum, Lockheed Martin’s next-generation counter-unmanned aircraft system. The platform protects military forces, homeland security operations and critical infrastructure from unmanned aerial threats. The integration expands Sanctum’s detection and response capabilities.
Sanctum addresses coordinated drone swarms and changing unmanned aircraft tactics across complex defense environments. The system combines artificial intelligence, cloud-based data analysis, and a modular operating structure. It also connects sensors, response tools and command systems within one operational framework.
Sentrycs will add a cyber-based detection and mitigation layer to that wider architecture. Its technology operates directly through drone communication protocols and identifies unauthorized aircraft. Operators can then track and control targeted drones without disrupting nearby systems.
Integration Expands Layered Counter-Drone Defenses
The technology allows operators to guide unauthorized drones toward controlled landing areas. It avoids traditional jamming, spoofing, and physical interception methods during mitigation operations. As a result, the system reduces interference with communications and nearby infrastructure.
Lockheed Martin designed Sanctum as an open platform that can accept several detection and response technologies. This structure allows defense operators to adjust systems for different missions and threat levels. The Sentrycs integration adds another targeted response option within that layered model.
Defense agencies increasingly require systems that combine detection, rapid analysis, and controlled threat removal. Drone technology continues to develop, while coordinated attacks create wider operational risks. Flexible counter-drone platforms have become important for military and security planning.
Ondas Builds Its Defense and Autonomous Systems Portfolio
Ondas provides autonomous systems, robotics, and mission-focused technologies for defense and public safety markets. The company also serves homeland security, critical infrastructure, and industrial customers. Its operations cover air, ground and high-altitude autonomous platforms.
The company develops drone systems, counter-drone tools, robotic ground platforms, and advanced unmanned aircraft. It also supplies propulsion systems, demining equipment, sensors, and communication technologies. These products support surveillance, reconnaissance, security and operational missions.
Government, defense, and commercial customers deploy Ondas systems across several global markets. The technologies help protect borders, transport networks, infrastructure, personnel, and strategic assets. The Lockheed Martin collaboration now extends Ondas’ role within integrated counter-drone defense programs.
