Drones: Industry & Defence: World Cup as a counter-drone auditionBackground
Sentrycs is an Israeli-origin counter-drone company that detects, identifies and defeats unauthorised aircraft through their radio-frequency links. Its approach avoids GPS jamming, which suits crowded places where safety systems and ordinary communications must remain available.
Ondas Holdings acquired Sentrycs in 2026, placing the company within a wider autonomous-systems group. The acquisition gives Sentrycs access to a US-listed parent while preserving a specialist role in the defeat part of counter-drone operations.
The company matters where operators need to stop drones without creating fresh disruption. Its technology is relevant to stadiums, airports, borders and other sites where a kinetic response or broad radio interference can create risks of its own.
