Red Cat Holdings’, a U.S.-based provider of advanced all-domain drone and robotic solutions, FANG™ FPV drone system has been added to the Department of War’s Blue UAS Cleared List.
The official designation confirms that the complete FANG system 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. This inclusion eliminates the need for additional cybersecurity approvals or sourcing waivers for the system. The certification also ensures full NDAA Section 848 compliance.
The FANG system, now listed, is available as a complete system or a modular DIY kit. Working through a U.S. military lab, Red Cat previously secured the acceptance of one of the first FPV components into the Blue UAS Framework via its partner, UMAC. The full FANG system now integrates four UMAC components, making it a compliant, government-cleared platform.
Jeff Thompson, CEO of Red Cat, commented, “Blue UAS certification of our full system marks the next phase for FANG. 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.”
The currently certified model, the FANG F7, is available for direct purchase or through approved government procurement channels. Red Cat also stated that additional models in the FANG line are currently under development. These future models are intended to build on this foundation with extended capabilities while maintaining full compliance with Department of War procurement requirements.
