Irvine-based Dzyne Technologies has received a $6 million U.S. Air Force contract to develop the Long-Range Grasshopper, an aerial delivery system, parent company Ondas Technologies said (Nasdaq: ONDS). Grasshopper is designed for extended‑range logistics in contested and austere environments. “By bringing DZYNE’s proven engineering talent and advanced autonomous logistics capabilities into Ondas Sentinel, we are expanding the depth and scale of our defense portfolio while creating new opportunities to support U.S. and allied customers,” Eric Brock, chairman and CEO of Ondas, said in a statement late last week.
