Company establishes relationship with the United States Army Communications-Electronics Command<\/strong><\/p>

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —\u00a0Red Cat Holdings, Inc.<\/a>\u202f(Nasdaq: RCAT) (\u201cRed Cat\u201d), a drone technology company integrating robotic hardware and software for military, government, and commercial operations, today announced it secured a $1 million contract for its Edge 130 Blue drones from the United States Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM). The contract was secured through Noble, a leading provider of global sustainment and operations support for the U.S. Military and civilian government agencies, and was coordinated for procurement by the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) on behalf of CECOM.<\/p>

FlightWave, an industry-leading provider of VTOL drone, sensor and software solutions was acquired by Red Cat in September 2024. The acquisition brings FlightWave\u2019s flagship drone, the Edge 130 Blue into its family of low-cost, portable unmanned reconnaissance and precision lethal strike systems. FlightWave\u2019s size, weight and vertical take off capabilities makes it ideal for maritime operations and littoral environments.\u00a0FlightWave\u2019s recent TACFI award<\/a>\u00a0will accelerate advanced enhancements to the Edge 130 Blue.<\/p>

\u201cIt is great to deepen our relationship with the U.S. Army and to be part of CECOM\u2019s mission to deliver C5ISR systems that enable full spectrum combat operations at the point of need,\u201d said Jeff Thompson, Red Cat CEO. \u201cWe are committed to supporting the U.S. Army\u2019s modernization strategy and transformation into a multi-domain force where small, portable unmanned aerial systems like the Edge 130 play an increasing role in conducting intelligence, maneuver, and strike activities across multiple battlefield formations.\u201d<\/p>

The Edge 130 Blue is a UAS-certified military-grade tricopter for long-range mapping, inspection, surveillance, and reconnaissance needs. Designed specifically for government and military applications, the Edge 130 Blue can be assembled and hand-launched in just one minute by a single user to capture high-accuracy aerial imagery with medium-range autonomy. Weighing in at only 1200g, the Edge has a 60+ minute flight time in forward mode, an industry-leading endurance among all other Blue UAS-approved drones available.<\/p>
