BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS / ACCESS Newswire / October 13, 2025 / Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:ONDS) ("Ondas" or the "Company"), a leading provider of autonomous aerial and ground robot intelligence through its Ondas Autonomous Systems (OAS) business unit and private wireless solutions through Ondas Networks, today announced the expansion of its partnership with Rift Dynamics to include Nammo Raufoss AS ("Nammo"), a leading Norway-based global provider of advanced munitions with a strong manufacturing presence in the U.S. Under this agreement, the companies will collaborate on a fully integrated Wåsp drone with munition payloads, to be sold exclusively in the United States by Ondas' American Robotics subsidiary.
 

The integration of Nammo's warheads with Rift's Wåsp platform delivers a turnkey, NDAA-compliant attritable drone system designed for rapid scale-up and mass deployment. Customers benefit from a single-source solution that combines airframe, munition, and control systems into one package-reducing procurement complexity, improving cost efficiency, and ensuring operational performance in the field.

"By integrating Nammo's proven munition technology directly into the Wåsp platform, we expect to deliver a game-changing solution for U.S. defense customers," said Eric Brock, Ondas' Chairman and CEO. "This all-in-one system offers unmatched simplicity of procurement, improved cost performance, and rapid production scalability. With American Robotics as the prime contractor in the U.S., we are uniquely positioned to support the urgent demand for affordable, effective attritable systems at scale."

This partnership builds upon and leverages the significant technical, integration, and go-to-market progress already advanced by Rift and Nammo in Norway. The integrated Wåsp platform is actively marketed in Europe, with the Norwegian Army as an existing customer and other NATO militaries engaged in ongoing evaluations. Importantly, the U.S. collaboration benefits from Nammo's established American production capacity, ensuring Made in America compliance for defense procurement while retaining the scale and affordability of the attritable system. The program is directly aligned with the U.S. Department of War's Replicator initiative and Section 2209 priorities, which call for rapid fielding of mass-affordable attritable drone systems.

"Nammo has decades of experience delivering high-performance, safe, and reliable munitions to allied defense customers," said Director of Communications Thorstein Korsvold from Nammo. "Partnering with Rift and Ondas allows us to extend that expertise into the fast-growing attritable drone segment, ensuring warfighters receive a fully integrated, operationally effective system that is both affordable and easy to deploy."

"The Wåsp was designed to be a scalable, mass-affordable drone platform," said Knut Roar Wiig, CEO of Rift Dynamics. "With Nammo's munitions integrated and American Robotics driving U.S. distribution, we are now able to deliver a complete system that meets the modern battlefield's demand for simplicity, performance, and cost efficiency. This is a major milestone for Rift and a validation of our strategy to build the world's most accessible attritable drone."

The Wåsp is a combat-proven, NDAA-compliant, attritable drone system designed to meet growing demand from the U.S. Department of War (DOW) for "mass affordable" strike and perimeter defense platforms. With its modular architecture, NATO interoperability, and battlefield validation, Wåsp strengthens Ondas' layered defense portfolio alongside the Optimus autonomous aerial system and Iron Drone Raider counter-UAS solution.

Ondas Holdings is a strategic investor in Norway-based Rift Dynamics, a defense technology company focused on the development and production of affordable, attritable drone systems for military and security applications. Rift builds its platforms with a commitment to sovereign European supply chains, rapid scalability, and operational simplicity.
