Red Cat Holdings' maritime division, Blue Ops, is transitioning to full-rate production of its Variant 7 (V7) uncrewed surface vessel (USV). The company is scaling production to meet existing mission demand.
The V7 is designed, built, and assembled in the United States. The platform supports defense missions for the U.S. and its allies.
The vessel features a Steyr engine. It utilizes U.S.-developed systems for command, control, and communications.
The V7 operates in intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), force protection, and coastal security missions. This launch adds a maritime component to Red Cat's aerial drone portfolio.
