What Roboteam does
Roboteam Ltd. designs, develops, and manufactures rugged tactical unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) for defense and security operations. The company's combat-proven UGV platforms are deployed by military and security forces in more than 30 countries, with named Tier-1 customers including the U.S. Marine Corps and the Israeli Ministry of Defense. Use cases span tactical ground reconnaissance, combat support, perimeter security, hazardous material handling, and explosive ordnance disposal — missions where the platforms' core value is reducing soldier exposure to danger while providing persistent situational awareness in contested or hazardous environments.
Roboteam's commercial model is hardware-led and government-procurement driven. Revenue is generated through direct sales of UGV units to defense ministries and military forces via formal procurement channels, typically under multi-year contracts. A representative transaction is the 2025 U.S. Marine Corps order for over 130 units valued at approximately $30 million, implying an average unit ASP of roughly $231,000. The company maintains direct procurement relationships rather than a broad distributor network, and there is no publicly disclosed pricing beyond large-program contract values. Analysts project Roboteam to generate at least $30 million in revenue by 2026.
On December 17, 2025, Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:ONDS) completed the acquisition of Roboteam for $81.7 million, integrating it into the Ondas Autonomous Systems (OAS) business unit alongside aerial autonomy and counter-UAS capabilities. The acquisition positions Roboteam as the ground layer of a multi-domain autonomous systems platform targeting defense, homeland security, and public safety customers. Roboteam's leadership — including CEO and co-founder Elad Levy — and engineering teams were retained post-acquisition to preserve customer continuity. Subsequent moves include the launch of Ondas Defense and Security at the Singapore Airshow 2026, European manufacturing partnership discussions with Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG, and a joint AI-based hazard detection pilot with Safe Pro Group in Israel. Roboteam is headquartered in Israel with a U.S. office in Gaithersburg, and operates with 51–100 employees.
