Palladyne AI and Red Cat: Shaping the Future of Drone Technology
Partnership Expanded: Innovation, Marketing, and U.S. Army Recognition
Palladyne AI Corp. (NASDAQ: PDYN), a leader in artificial intelligence for robotics, has announced the expansion of its strategic partnership with Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCAT) and its subsidiary, Teal Drones. This collaboration promises to elevate drone technology through joint development, marketing, and the integration of cutting-edge software.
Innovation in Action: Integrating Palladyne Pilot
The partnership initially began in October 2024, with the integration of Palladyne Pilot, an advanced AI platform, into Teal drones. This software enhances autonomous capabilities, including enabling drones to self-organize into networked systems for surveillance and reconnaissance. The expanded partnership now includes joint sales and marketing efforts to promote this integrated solution.

Red Cat achieved a major milestone by securing a contract under the U.S. Army’s Short Range Reconnaissance (SRR) program. The next-generation Teal drone demonstrated exceptional capabilities, including high reliability and advanced functionality, which positioned the company as a leader in the project. Production is set to begin in 2025, with all drones equipped with Palladyne Pilot software.
Challenges and Opportunities for Palladyne AI
Despite current financial challenges — the company reported a net loss of $19.6 million for the first nine months of 2024 — Palladyne AI continues to invest in the development of its software solutions. The company is focused on commercializing its innovative AI/ML platform, which is already showing significant potential. Palladyne AI anticipates its solutions will be adopted across industries such as defense, construction, logistics, and aviation.
