The Black Widow™ drone, U.S. Army Short Range Reconnaissance Program winner, is a U.S.-manufactured, dual-use system delivering critical intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) for defense and security. Built by Red Cat Holdings with a modular, field-repairable architecture and purposefully engineered to protect those in harm's way. Come see it at Red Cat booth #2267 at the AUSA Annual Convention in Washington this week.

The Black Widow™ Short Range Reconnaissance drone sets the standard for front-line ISR with its artificial intelligence (AI)-driven capabilities, including 3D mapping, aided target recognition, and visual navigation optimized for GPS-denied and contested environments.

Designed and manufactured in the USA, it features a modular, field-repairable architecture for rapid adaptation and sustainment in the field.

Ruggedized for extreme conditions, Black Widow™ reduces cognitive load through intuitive operation, empowering warfighters with actionable intelligence when seconds matter. Its versatility and mission-focused engineering make it the ultimate dual-use solution for defense and security.
