## Summary

Teal Drones' website (and the Red Cat press releases hosted on it) describe Teal as a Salt Lake City sUAS maker and a Red Cat Holdings subsidiary, centered on the Black Widow reconnaissance drone and the U.S. Army SRR Program of Record.

## Useful Claims

- A November 19, 2024 Red Cat press release states Teal's next-generation system (Black Widow) was selected as the winner of the U.S. Army's Short Range Reconnaissance (SRR) Program of Record, after Army test and evaluation.
- George Matus is named as Teal's founder and Red Cat's CTO.
- Red Cat is described as operating two subsidiaries — Teal Drones and FlightWave Aerospace — with a "Family of Systems" including Black Widow, TRICHON, and the NDAA-compliant FANG FPV line with precision-strike capability.

## Reliability Notes

This is an official company/parent source: reliable for product names, corporate structure, and the fact of the SRR selection, but not neutral for capability superlatives ("most advanced in its class"). Quantities (~5,880 systems), contract value (>$250M), revenue figures, and Air Force/NATO opportunities come from secondary trade press and Red Cat financial disclosures and are date-sensitive. Corroborated against army.mil reporting on SRR Tranche 2 production.
