Teal Drones Inc., a subsidiary of Red Cat Holdings, has advanced to Gauntlet II of the Drone Dominance Program after successfully completing the Phase 2 Qualifier.
The subsidiary is now among 19 companies invited to participate in Gauntlet II, with the upcoming evaluation scheduled to take place at Fort Carson, Colorado, in August 2026.
This progression follows the Phase 2 Qualifier held at Camp Grayling, Michigan, where 49 companies were invited to compete. During that phase, approximately 79 unique drones were tested across Long Range Strike and Tactical Assault in Close Quarters mission areas. The advancement reflects a continued focus on delivering trusted, mission-ready drone and robotic solutions that support the warfighter with critical situational awareness and operational advantage.
Jeff Thompson, CEO of Red Cat, commented, “Advancing to Gauntlet II is an honor and a meaningful validation of the work our Teal team is doing to deliver trusted, mission-ready systems for the warfighter. The Drone Dominance Program is focused on rapidly identifying proven drone technologies that can provide a decisive advantage on the modern battlefield, and we are proud to continue competing in support of that mission.”
