Red Cat Holdings Tech Stack
American-made small drones and uncrewed systems for defense and national security
Red Cat designs and manufactures small unmanned aircraft systems and uncrewed surface vessels for U.S. defense and government customers. The stack reflects a vertically integrated hardware-software business: embedded systems (NVIDIA Jetson, ARM, PX4, ArduPilot), real-time video codecs (H.264/H.265, GStreamer), flight control via ROS 2, and manufacturing tools (SolidWorks, Arena PLM). Hiring is accelerating heavily in engineering (36 roles) and manufacturing (15 roles), while active projects span yield improvement, battery management validation, and counter-UAS integration—suggesting both production ramp and expanded capability development.
