The Defence M&A team has advised Ondas Inc., a leading provider of autonomous systems and private wireless solutions, on its acquisition of UK‑based aerospace technology developer Rotron Aerospace Ltd.

The acquisition expands Ondas’ long‑range propulsion and unmanned systems capabilities, strengthening its autonomous systems platform and establishing a strategic industrial base in the UK to support defence, security and critical infrastructure missions.

Rotron will operate as Ondas’ UK‑based go‑to‑market platform, supporting the development and scaling of next‑generation autonomous systems.

The cross-departmental Defence M&A team was led by partner Alex Lloyd, with support from partner Keith Beattie, senior associates Douglas Streatfeild-James and Chris Doherty and solicitors Jessica Kalayci and Jacob Hall.

“Rotron’s propulsion and aircraft engineering capabilities represent a critical addition to our autonomous systems platform. The acquisition strengthens Ondas’ position within the UK defence ecosystem, providing a foundation for localised development and production that supports our broader strategy of delivering advanced autonomous capabilities across NATO and allied markets”.

Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas

“This acquisition represents an important step for Ondas as it continues to expand its autonomous systems capabilities and establish a stronger operational presence in the UK. We were pleased to support the Ondas team on this strategically significant transaction and to further demonstrate our capability in the UK defence sector.”
