Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCAT) announced that its subsidiary Teal Drones' Black Widow System has been approved for inclusion in the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) catalogue. This designation allows NATO member nations and eligible partners to procure the system through NSPA-managed channels, including catalogue orders and sponsored tenders.
The approval underscores Black Widow's mission readiness and trusted U.S.-manufactured design, while streamlining acquisition processes for allied forces. The rugged system, built for tactical intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), perimeter security, and overwatch missions, weighs under 3 pounds and features advanced capabilities including a Teledyne FLIR Hadron 640R EO/IR camera.
The Black Widow system provides more than 45 minutes of flight endurance and integrates secure long-range communications with electronic warfare resistance capabilities. The three-year NSPA contract includes options for two additional years, providing long-term procurement stability for NATO members. This development represents a significant milestone for American defense technology manufacturers seeking to supply allied military forces through standardized procurement channels.
The inclusion in the NSPA catalogue facilitates easier access to advanced U.S.-made drone technology for NATO allies, potentially enhancing interoperability among member nations' defense systems.
