Redwire Corporation (NYSE:RDW) said its subsidiary, Edge Autonomy, has partnered with Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:RCAT) to strengthen U.S. Army drone operations. The companies will combine Red Cat’s Teal Drones Black Widow quadcopter with Edge Autonomy’s Stalker vertical takeoff and landing aircraft to enhance battlefield surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities.
The collaboration aims to extend the Army’s intelligence and situational awareness by using the Stalker as a carrier and communications hub for the smaller Black Widow drone. The system enables midair deployment, expanding range and flexibility for multi-echelon missions.
