Read filing description ↓

We are a U.S.-based provider of advanced all-domain drone and robotic solutions for defense, national security, and commercial applications. We develop American-made hardware and software that supports military, government, and public safety operations across air, land, and sea. Our family of systems delivers tactical capabilities in small, unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) and uncrewed surface vessels (USVs), delivering integrated platforms designed to enhance safety and multi-domain mission effectiveness. Unmanned systems have become an increasingly important component of modern military operations. Unmanned aerial systems, as well as unmanned surface vessels, enable military forces to conduct intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, target acquisition, electronic warfare, and strike missions while reducing risk to personnel. Advances in autonomy, sensors, communications, and artificial intelligence have expanded the operational capabilities of these systems and broadened the range of missions they can support. Our strategy is to provide products to the war fighter that work. In executing our strategy, Red Cat primarily seeks to utilize proven technology, which we modify, adopt, change, integrate and apply to address market opportunities that we identify jointly with our customers and with our partners. This approach allows us to rapidly develop and field relevant offerings, while reducing technical, schedule and financial risk. We view strategic partnerships as a means by which to further the reach of our innovative solutions by accessing new markets, customers, and complementary capabilities. We also consider acquisitions as a method to obtain valuable products, capabilities or technologies that can further enable our growth strategy.
