👉 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:

𝗘𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗸, Chairman and CEO of Ondas:

"GATE is a highly strategic addition to Ondas. Munitions stockpiles are being rebuilt around the world, and a new generation of low-cost, autonomous munitions is becoming a growing part of the battlefield. At the same time, the market is shifting from traditional mechanical fuzes to electronic safe-and-arm devices, which are essential for weapons that are smaller, smarter and software-defined. GATE's RUBI product line and its engineering team have earned a strong position in this market through decades of qualification and integration into more than 90 weapon systems. With Ondas' global go-to-market and operating platform behind it, we believe GATE can capture meaningful market share."

𝗘𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗸, Chairman and CEO of Ondas:

"ESAD components are in tight supply today, and qualified production capacity is a bottleneck for the entire precision-strike supply chain. GATE has earned the trust of a broad base of defense OEMs and weapon programs around the world, and that customer base comes first. Ondas is committed to serving the entire market with low-cost, advanced fuzing capabilities, and we will invest in GATE's capacity, engineering and global reach so it can support more customers and more programs. Combined with GATE's attractive growth and margin profile, we expect this acquisition to generate high returns on invested capital for our shareholders,"

𝗢𝘀𝗵𝗿𝗶 𝗟𝘂𝗴𝗮𝘀𝘀𝘆, Co-CEO of Ondas Autonomous Systems:

"Electronic safe-and-arm and fuzing systems are mission-critical components in modern precision weapons. GATE has built a strategic position in this market through decades of qualification and integration across a wide array of systems. Its technology is deeply designed into customer platforms, creating strong barriers to entry and positioning GATE to benefit as global production of precision-strike systems expands."
