­Red Cat Holdings, Inc. announced it is fulfilling an order by the Florida Army National Guard for its Teal 2 drones. The drones will be used to support the ongoing disaster response to Hurricane Milton, which has left more than 3 million people without power.

“Our drones are specifically designed for the defense industry, but we understand that our warfighters’ roles extend beyond combat, especially during natural disasters,” said Jeff Thompson, CEO of Red Cat. “Small, portable drones like our Teal 2, built for the toughest environments, can be invaluable for first responders in damage assessment and search and rescue missions. We are proud to support the Florida Army National Guard soldiers in their efforts to assist with the aftermath in Milton.”

Red Cat subsidiary Teal Drones builds its Teal 2 system, designed to support U.S. and allied military operations, public safety organizations, and government agencies, at its Utah facility. Teal 2 is a cost-effective, man-portable sUAS designed to "Dominate the Night" that has best-in-class night vision, multi-vehicle control support, and a fully modular design. It is both Blue UAS Certified and FAA Remote ID approved.
