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, expanding the drone's role as a forward intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) sensor within military operations.The integration enables Black Widow to transmit video, targeting information and other sensor data directly into connected tactical fires workflows. The capability is designed to help military units move intelligence more quickly from detection to decision, improving the flow of information between sensors, communications systems and commanders operating at the tactical edge.C3A Solutions specializes in tactical systems integration, including digital fires, tactical communications and operational network integration for Army units. The company also supports fire control systems, operational targeting systems, precision fires platforms, tactical radios, laser designators, positioning, navigation and timing devices, and unmanned aerial vehicles. According to the companies, Black Widow's integration with OBERON-enabled networks is part of C3A's broader unmanned aerial vehicle integration capabilities.Red Cat said the collaboration supports its ongoing focus on interoperability and mission-driven integration across its Family of Systems. By working with field-focused integration partners such as C3A, the company aims to ensure its platforms can operate within both existing and emerging tactical architectures used by military customers.Officials from both companies said the integration is intended to reduce friction in battlefield information sharing, improve confidence in moving critical data across connected systems and better support commanders and soldiers operating in modern combat environments.
