Red Cat

The US and Asian partners may co-produce drones in the Indo-Pacific region as a response to China's growing technological advancements. This could involve partnerships between companies like Red Cat, Taiwan, and Japan to develop unmanned systems that can operate in contested environments.

The US Army has selected Red Cat for its Short Range Reconnaissance Program, which aims to provide cutting-edge capability to warfighters. The program's focus on small UAS at scale represents a significant shift in the Army's doctrine.
