Ondas and Palantir Launch Regna AI to Build Sovereign Offline Defense Models

Ondas Inc. and Palantir Technologies officially launched Regna AI on October 12, 2026, creating a dedicated company to build custom, open-weight AI models for government and defense organizations. At launch, Ondas retains 100% ownership of the new private entity, while Palantir is strictly supplying the model-training infrastructure and engineering support via its AIP, Foundry, and Apollo platforms. The models are engineered to operate autonomously on physical edge hardware, including drones and ground vehicles, targeting combat environments where network connectivity is jammed or completely denied. Ondas will serve as Regna AI's first customer to orchestrate operations on field devices, riding on recent commercial momentum that saw its total order book climb above $270 million since late June.
