**Exhibit 99.1**

**Ondas Holdings Appoints Brigadier General (Res.) Yaniv Rotem to Ondas Autonomous Systems' Advisory Board**

*Newly Formed Advisory Board to Support OAS's Global Expansion and Leadership in Autonomous Drone and AI-Powered Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance ("ISR") Platforms*

 

*Mr. Rotem is Former Head of Military R&D at Israel's Ministry of Defense to Guide Strategic Technology Development*

 

*He Brings Deep Expertise in Air Defense, Laser Systems, and Advanced Weapons Programs*

 

**BOSTON, MA / August 1, 2025 /** Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:ONDS) ("Ondas" or the "Company"), a leading provider of private industrial wireless networks and commercial drone and automated data solutions, today announced the appointment of Brigadier General (Res.) Yaniv Rotem to the Advisory Board of its subsidiary, Ondas Autonomous Systems ("OAS"). Mr. Rotem brings decades of leadership experience in Israeli defense R&D, weapons systems innovation, and business development. His guidance will help shape OAS's strategic direction in emerging technologies and global defense partnerships.

"Yaniv's appointment brings seasoned insight at the nexus of defense innovation and strategic technology deployment," said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas. "His experience in scaling complex defense systems and forging global partnerships will be instrumental as we advance autonomous and AI-driven ISR solutions. This appointment builds on Ondas' broader effort to expand our leadership and advisory capabilities as we scale the Optimus and Iron Drone Raider platforms globally and execute our strategic growth plan. Yaniv will advise on technical development priorities, strategic collaborations, and integration pathways for new defense technologies across ISR, counter-UAS, and next-generation autonomy."

Mr. Rotem most recently served as Head of Research & Development (DDR&D) at the Israel Ministry of Defense, overseeing advanced programs in missile systems, airborne laser defense, multi-domain command-and-control and many other systems. His track record in guided weapons, AI-enabled ISR, and operational deployment uniquely positions him to support OAS's product roadmap and market positioning.

"I am pleased to support Ondas at this pivotal stage," said Mr. Rotem. "OAS's technologies and their integrated approach, combining autonomy, software and unmanned aerial vehicle swarms, is the right foundation for next-generation defense and security applications. I look forward to advising on technology roadmaps and international go-to-market strategies."

This appointment is aligned with Ondas' 2025 strategic roadmap to deliver modular, AI-powered drone systems for critical defense and homeland security missions. With Mr. Rotem's support, OAS will continue to pursue innovation across autonomy, layered intelligence, and mission-specific command and control applications for allied defense and security forces.

Mr. Rotem's appointment also marks the formal launch of the *Ondas Autonomous Systems' Advisory Board*, established in July 2025 to support OAS's growth as a global leader in autonomous drone and AI-powered ISR platforms. The Advisory Board will provide strategic guidance across product development, business development, and ecosystem partnerships, while broadening engagement with government agencies, defense and security customers, critical infrastructure operators and ecosystem partners. Comprised of distinguished leaders with deep expertise in military, intelligence, and security sectors, the Advisory Board will play a key role in advancing OAS's mission, strengthening its global competitive position, and accelerating value creation for Ondas' shareholders.
