Red Cat Holdings has completed integration work with C3A Solutions to connect its Black Widow™ small unmanned aircraft system with OBERON-enabled tactical fires networks, enabling the platform to function as a forward ISR sensor within connected battlefield architectures.
The integration allows Black Widow to transmit sensor data, including video and targeting information, directly into tactical fires workflows, enhancing decision-making speed and operational coordination at the tactical edge.
“Modern battlefield advantage depends on how quickly intelligence can move from detection to decision,” said Jason Gunter, Vice President of Technology and Innovation at Red Cat. “Our work with C3A supports Red Cat’s broader vision of moving beyond standalone platforms toward integrated capabilities that connect sensors, systems and operators at the tactical edge. This is where small unmanned systems are headed, and where we believe Red Cat can play a critical role for the warfighter.”
C3A Solutions specializes in tactical systems integration, including digital fires, communications, and operational network integration for Army units. Its portfolio spans fire control systems, targeting platforms, tactical radios, laser designators, positioning and navigation systems, and unmanned aerial vehicles.
“C3A’s strength is translating emerging technology into field-ready capability,” stated Dan Morgan, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of C3A Solutions. “Our work with Red Cat helps ensure Black Widow can integrate into the digital fires environment in a way that is practical for soldiers and useful to commanders. By connecting sensors, radios and fires systems in the field, we can help units reduce friction, move information with greater confidence, and keep pace with the speed of modern operations.”
The collaboration underscores Red Cat’s focus on interoperability and mission-driven integration across its Family of Systems, ensuring its platforms can operate within existing and evolving tactical architectures used by military customers.
