WALTHAM, MA / ACCESSWIRE / July 14, 2023 / Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:ONDS), ("Ondas", or the "Company"), a leading provider of private industrial wireless networks and commercial drone and automated data solutions is pleased to announce the appointment of Eric Brock, CEO and co-founder of Ondas, to the Commercial Drone Alliance (CDA) Board of Directors. CDA, comprised of the nation's top drone organizations, collaborates closely with key policymakers at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation, White House, and Congress to educate and champion the future of the drone industry. With this strategic role, Ondas, which consolidates its drone operations within the Ondas Autonomous Systems (OAS) business unit, will help the CDA continue to spearhead the advocacy for the immense societal and economic advantages of uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) technology, helping to support and foster the scalable growth of the drone industry to the benefit of the American public.

"Joining the Commercial Drone Alliance board is a great opportunity for Ondas," remarked Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas. "The CDA plays a pivotal role in driving public policy initiatives that are vital to the long-term national and economic security of the United States. Ondas, supported by our OAS business unit, including subsidiaries American Robotics and Airobotics, is excited to collaborate with the hardworking team at the CDA. Together, we aim to advance public policy, cultivate a thriving ecosystem, and expedite the safe, secure and scalable adoption of drone technology across commercial and government sectors in the US.

While considerable progress has been made in recent years regarding regulatory approvals within the drone industry, challenges such as streamlined beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations, multi-drone coordination, and streamlined type certification persist. For the United States to maintain its leadership position in global aviation, it is crucial to address these challenges effectively. As a prominent member of the CDA board, Ondas is committed to working collaboratively with the collective voice of the CDA to expedite progress across all fronts within a reasonable period.
