Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: RCAT) (“Red Cat” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based provider of advanced all-domain drone and robotic solutions for defense and national security, today announced that its FANG™ FPV drone system has been officially added to the Department of War’s Blue UAS Cleared List.
This designation affirms that the complete FANG system, previously pending inclusion, meets the Pentagon’s highest standards for cybersecurity, supply chain integrity, and operational trustworthiness. With full certification, the system is now eligible for streamlined acquisition by the Department of War and other federal agencies, with no need for additional cybersecurity approvals or sourcing waivers.
“Blue UAS certification of our full system marks the next phase for FANG,” said Jeff Thompson, CEO of Red Cat. “This not only validates our hardware and engineering, but it also makes it easier for defense and security customers to move fast and confidently with a fully approved, low-cost, American-made FPV drone. We’re proud to deliver a platform that meets the highest standards and is ready to scale where and when it’s needed.”

Blue UAS certification confirms that FANG meets the Department of War’s highest standards for cybersecurity, supply chain integrity, and operational trustworthiness. It ensures full NDAA Section 848 compliance and allows the DoW and other agencies to acquire the system without waivers or additional approvals.
Working through a U.S. military lab, Red Cat secured one of the first FPV components accepted into the Blue UAS Framework through partner UMAC. With four UMAC components integrated, the full FANG system is now certified and listed, giving users a compliant, government-cleared platform available as a complete system or modular DIY kit.
