The FANG FPV drone system was added to the Department of Defense’s Blue UAS Cleared List on October 30, 2025, allowing the platform to be procured without additional cybersecurity approvals or sourcing waivers.
The certification confirms the FANG line meets DoD cybersecurity, supply‑chain integrity, and operational trustworthiness standards, and is fully NDAA‑compliant, positioning the system as a low‑cost, American‑made FPV drone for Army, Navy, Air Force and other federal agencies.
Red Cat’s FANG line is marketed as the lowest‑cost family of FPV drones, designed for retrievability and domestic manufacturing, and is part of the company’s “Family of Systems” strategy to offer a diversified product portfolio.
The company has expanded its lineup with the Black Widow, which was added to the NATO NSPA catalog, and has partnered with AeroVironment for larger UAS deployment and with Palantir for AI integration.
Red Cat has raised capital to fund research and development and expansion, but has experienced net losses and negative gross margins in recent periods, reflecting ongoing investment in growth and market penetration.
