American defense company Ondas Inc. has officially announced the hiring of former Mossad director David Barnea to manage key business areas. As reported by The Jerusalem Post, the former intelligence chief will focus on the corporation's global expansion, creating innovative technological solutions, and building dialogue with government and military structures of various countries. The company expects to use his operational experience to create unified communication platforms, integrate artificial intelligence into secure communication channels, strategic information collection circuits, and automated decision-making systems. Barnea is expected to lead work with partners in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, where there is record demand for autonomous military systems. The decision comes amid the company's active business scaling, having recently signed contracts for the supply of unmanned ground modules and anti-drone systems. Barnea explained his move to the commercial sector by the transformation of the nature of modern warfare, as demonstrated by events in the Middle East and Ukraine. He expressed confidence that the synergy of his experience and Ondas Inc.'s technological base will create next-generation defense equipment.
