Red Cat Holdings has completed integration work with tactical systems integration company C3A Solutions to connect its Black Widow small Unmanned Aircraft System (s-UAS) with OBERON-enabled tactical fires networks.
The integration allows Black Widow to serve as a forward Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) sensor within connected fires architectures. Sensor data from the aircraft, including video and targeting information, can be transferred into tactical fires workflows.
Jason Gunter, Vice President of Technology and Innovation at Red Cat, commented, “Modern battlefield advantage depends on how quickly intelligence can move from detection to decision. Our work with C3A supports Red Cat’s broader vision of moving beyond standalone platforms toward integrated capabilities that connect sensors, systems and operators at the tactical edge. This is where small unmanned systems are headed, and where we believe Red Cat can play a critical role for the warfighter.”
C3A Solutions specializes in digital fires, tactical communications, and operational network integration for Army units at the tactical edge. Its integration portfolio includes support for fire control systems, operational targeting systems, precision fires platforms, tactical radios, laser designators, positioning, navigation and timing devices, and unmanned aerial vehicles.
Dan Morgan, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of C3A Solutions, added, “C3A’s strength is translating emerging technology into field-ready capability. Our work with Red Cat helps ensure Black Widow can integrate into the digital fires environment in a way that is practical for soldiers and useful to commanders. By connecting sensors, radios and fires systems in the field, we can help units reduce friction, move information with greater confidence, and keep pace with the speed of modern operations.”
The collaboration forms part of Red Cat’s focus on interoperability and mission-driven integration across its Family of Systems. Through its work with C3A Solutions, the company is seeking to ensure its systems can connect with existing and emerging tactical architectures used by military customers.
