It appears Ondas (ONDS +7.73%) has experienced a rather agreeable ascent today, a performance not entirely dissimilar to one of the very drones its technology seeks to…manage. The catalyst? A contract with the German State Police, a development that proves, once again, that even the most sophisticated security measures are often reactive, not preventative. Still, one must applaud the ingenuity of profiting from the anxieties of others – it’s a remarkably consistent market strategy.
Sentrycs’s Discreet Triumph
Ondas’s subsidiary, Sentrycs, has successfully deployed its counter-unmanned aircraft systems to our friends in Germany. They’ll be tasked with safeguarding large events and sensitive missions, a duty that suggests a certain lack of faith in humanity’s better impulses. One hopes they’ll be used to protect art, rather than simply prevent its disruption. Though, given the current state of artistic endeavour, the distinction is becoming increasingly blurred.
It seems Germany is witnessing a veritable plague of suspicious drones – over a thousand sightings last year. One wonders if these aerial trespassers are merely lost tourists with poor navigational skills, or heralds of a more unsettling future. Regardless, it presents a rather lucrative opportunity for those who sell the means to bring them down. A cynic might suggest that the proliferation of drones and countermeasures is simply a self-perpetuating cycle of paranoia and profit.
The financial details of this particular transaction remain, as always, shrouded in a delightful ambiguity. However, Ondas assures us that the addressable market for these handheld C-UAS systems is a rather substantial $9.8 billion. A sum that, while impressive, is merely a fleeting illusion in the grand theatre of global finance. One should always remember that numbers, like reputations, are easily inflated.
They claim this points to a “strong commercial opportunity.” A statement so blindingly obvious that it borders on the philosophical. It’s a truth universally acknowledged that a solution to a problem, however trivial, will always find a buyer. The world, it seems, is perpetually seeking to solve the problems it creates.
The Art of Defensive Investing
Naturally, Ondas is keen to emphasize the market potential of its wares. One wouldn’t expect a purveyor of security to downplay the dangers lurking in the skies. But in this instance, the enthusiasm isn’t entirely misplaced. The increasing sophistication of drone technology does necessitate countermeasures, and Ondas, by acquiring Sentrycs, appears to have anticipated this trend. It’s a rare instance of foresight in a world obsessed with reaction.
One might even suggest that investing in such technologies is a form of defensive aestheticism – a means of preserving order and tranquility in an increasingly chaotic world. Though, as Oscar Wilde himself observed, “I have nothing to declare except my genius.” And perhaps, a modest stake in a company that profits from the anxieties of the age.
