Ondas Holdings Inc. (ONDS) stock surged 5.09% during intraday trading on Thursday, marking a significant upward movement for the drone connectivity specialist.

The sharp rise follows the announcement of a strategic partnership between Ondas, Palantir Technologies, and World View to develop an AI-enabled multi-domain intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) platform. The collaboration will apply Palantir's Artificial Intelligence Platform to production, mission planning, and edge operations for World View's Stratollite platform and Ondas' portfolio of autonomous aerial and ground systems.

The partnership includes three key programs: Palantir Warp Speed for production and supply chain operations, AI Flight Director for mission operations support, and SkyWeaver for on-vehicle edge computing. Integration work across Ondas' systems is expected to begin as early as the fourth quarter of 2026, positioning the company at the forefront of AI-driven defense and industrial drone technology.
