Ondas 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 that its subsidiary, Sentrycs, deployed its Cyber-over-RF (“CoRF”) solution as part of Swisscom Broadcast’s DroneDefence system to protect the
world’s most sensitive security environments during the World Economic Forum 2026 in Davos, Switzerland.
Swisscom Broadcast supported the Graubünden Cantonal Police in securing the event, implementing a tailored, multi-sensor, multi-technology counter-drone architecture adapted to the security requirements and terrain conditions in Davos. Within this framework, Sentrycs’ Cyber-over-RF technology contributed advanced detection, identification, and controlled mitigation capabilities. As part of Swisscom Broadcast’s tailored deployment in Davos, the system enabled continuous monitoring and early detection and classification of drone activity under demanding local conditions.
“Major international events such as the World Economic Forum highlight the growing requirement for persistent protection of low-altitude airspace over public gatherings, critical infrastructure, and high-value locations,” said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas.“Sentrycs’ Cyber-over-RF technology is uniquely suited to serve as a foundational layer of counter-UAS infrastructure, providing early detection, identification, and electronic mitigation capabilities while operating within regulatory frameworks. As governments and security organizations begin investing in counter-drone infrastructure to protect cities, public events, and strategic facilities, solutions like Sentrycs’ CoRF platform will play an increasingly central role in securing the lower airspace.”
The World Economic Forum is one of the most visible international gatherings, hosting approximately 3,000 representatives from government, business, and academia, including numerous heads of state and senior officials. Given the scale and profile of the event, protecting the lower airspace was an essential component of the overall security framework.
As part of Swisscom Broadcast’s DroneDefence solution, Sentrycs’ technology supported a consistent operational picture while enabling tiered response options, including cyber takeover and mitigation measures implemented in accordance with regulatory requirements. Automation capabilities reduced operational burden and supported reliable system performance throughout the event.
“The multi-technology approach implemented in Davos provided the clear operational picture required for an event of this scale,” said Markus Lichtensteiger, Key Account Manager at Swisscom Broadcast. “Early detection and structured response capabilities were essential to maintaining airspace security under demanding conditions.”
“Precise situational awareness of the lower airspace and the ability to act within regulatory boundaries, are essential to protect major international events,” said Tal Cohen, CEO of
Sentrycs. “We are proud that our technology was integrated into Swisscom Broadcast’s
DroneDefence deployment in Davos, contributing to a structured and reliable counter-drone capability during the World Economic Forum.”
The successful deployment at the World Economic Forum 2026 underscores the growing importance of regulation-compliant counter-drone technologies that can be adapted to complex, high-profile environments.

Sentrycs will launch its new portable solution, Sentrycs Scout, at the Enforce Tac exhibition in Germany
High-growth handheld C-UAS segment projected to triple by 2030, creating a significant new revenue vertical within Ondas’ counter-drone portfolio
Ondas 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 its subsidiary Sentrycs, a global leader in counter-drone (C-UAS) technology based on Protocol Manipulation, also known as Cyber over RF, has
successfully delivered and deployed its C-UAS solutions to a German State Police office. This milestone reflects both Sentrycs’ growing role in European law enforcement and the rising demand for lawful, non-disruptive drone mitigation. The announcement coincides with Sentrycs’ upcoming launch of its new man-carried system, Sentrycs Scout, at the Enforce Tac exhibition in Germany, marking the Company’s entry into a new multi-billion-dollar segment of the rapidly expanding counter-UAS market.
Designed to detect, identify, and take control of unauthorized drones without jamming or kinetic engagement, Sentrycs’ field-proven system is actively supporting Germany’s State Police units in securing large-scale events and sensitive missions – ensuring public safety without collateral disruption. Engineered for the demands of modern policing, the system provides precision mitigation by safely taking control of unauthorized drones and guiding them to predefined landing zones. It also identifies drone serial numbers and operator locations in real time, enabling a comprehensive, intelligence-driven response.
Unlike traditional jamming, Sentrycs’ protocol-based approach operates without interfering with
communication networks – making it ideal for dense urban environments.
“We’re proud to support law enforcement agencies with operationally proven solutions that reflect the realities of today’s security landscape,” said Tal Cohen, CEO of Sentrycs. “Our deployment with the German State Police demonstrates the immediate impact of lawful, precise drone mitigation. With the launch of our new man-carried solution, Sentrycs Scout, we’re extending that capability to tactical units that require mobility without compromising performance.”
This deployment comes amid heightened concern over drone activity in Germany, with more than 1,000 suspicious flights reported by the federal criminal police (BKA) in 2025 – including incidents near military facilities, airports, and sensitive government zones. These events exposed a critical operational gap: detection alone left authorities without compliant means to neutralize threats effectively.
At Enforce Tac (Hall 10, Booth 404), Sentrycs will present its Cyber over RF technology and officially debut its new portable product – Sentrycs Scout.
Scout is a compact, battery-powered Counter-UAS system designed for law enforcement and tactical forces. It enables rapid deployment of passive detection, tracking, identification, and cyber-based mitigation in a lightweight, man-portable format – without reliance on fixed infrastructure. Delivering real-time situational awareness and rapid, precise mitigation in any environment, Scout supports safe operations in sensitive areas while minimizing regulatory and operational risk. It is ideal for tactical force protection, convoy security, VIP safeguarding, border enforcement, and infrastructure patrols.
Building on the same core technology trusted in Sentrycs’ fixed deployments, Scout is ruggedized for field use in challenging operational conditions. It offers tactical teams autonomous airspace control capabilities wherever they’re needed.
Based on market research from Grand View Research, Ondas estimates the five-year total addressable market for handheld counter-UAS systems to be approximately $9.8 billion globally, underscoring the strong commercial opportunity for compact, field-deployable counter-drone solutions across defense, law enforcement, and homeland security markets.
