In a letter to stockholders, Ondas Chairman and Chief Executive Eric Brock said Ondas expects, over time, to engage financial partners to support Regna's growth as an independent company.1–2 Operating expenses for further sovereign AI development are expected to move to Regna, reducing Ondas's ongoing investment in that work, he wrote. He said he believes Ondas's ownership will "unlock substantial embedded equity value" as the platform gains customers.2
Ondas will also be Regna's first customer, deploying fine-tuned models to run autonomous mission orchestration on the edge.1 Regna builds on SkyWeaver C4I, an existing Ondas-Palantir collaboration.1–2 Palantir's March announcement of its partnership with Ondas and World View, a high-altitude balloon intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) company, described SkyWeaver as bringing data processing and model inference onto World View's Stratollite.4–5
Brock said he believes Regna can become "a foundational AI platform" for the U.S. Department of War, allied governments and the defense and industrial companies that serve them. Beginning with ISR, Regna plans to expand into other mission areas and into security, critical infrastructure and industrial markets. Neither the release nor the letter gives an investment amount or names who will run Regna.1
Ondas says it will work with Regna and Palantir to support initial customer deployments over the coming months.1 Whether those deployments include customers other than Ondas, and who any financial partner turns out to be, will show whether Regna draws buyers and capital beyond its parent.1–2
