Brock will work closely with the Board and CDA members to help support broader industry collaboration and ecosystem development across the commercial drone industry
BOSTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / January 21, 2025 / 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 that Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas, has been appointed as Co-Chair of the Commercial Drone Alliance (CDA) Board of Directors.
The CDA, an independent non-profit organization led by key members of the commercial drone industry, 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. Mr. Brock joined the CDA Board in July 2023 and now steps into this leadership position to work closely with the Board and CDA members to help support broader industry collaboration and ecosystem development as drone adoption begins to accelerate.
"It's an honor to be appointed as Co-Chair of the CDA Board," stated Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO and Ondas. "The CDA continues to play a crucial role in advocating and advancing public policy initiatives to support the commercial drone sector as it enters a substantial growth phase. To support this growth, it is essential to deepen engagement across the drone ecosystem - from drone systems and service providers to supply chain participants and financial markets. I believe the CDA can engage with this ecosystem and mobilize collaboration to help foster the scalable growth of the drone industry to the benefit of the American public."
Lisa Ellman, Executive Director of the CDA, stated, "We are thrilled to welcome Eric as Co-Chair, particularly given his proven leadership at Ondas and his commitment to advancing public policy and industry collaboration. His appointment further strengthens our mission to safely integrate drones into the National Airspace System and to unlock this transformative technology's full potential."
