DUAL-USE ISR // GPS DENIED ENVIRONMENT // By Red Cat Aerial

Hellcat™

Hellcat is a dual-use system built on the proven Black Widow™ platform and informed by the realities of modern conflict. Designed around open architecture and rapid upgradeability, Hellcat gives operators a flexible aircraft foundation that can adapt to changing missions, contested environments, and rapidly evolving operational needs.

CONFLICT-INFORMEDDesign built on MOSA, so the airframe is not a dead end when the mission changes.

OPEN PLATFORMBuilt for rapid iteration and updates rather than a fixed configuration.

GPS-DENIED FROM POWER-ONOperates without GPS from the moment it is switched on, not as a fallback mode.

RETURN TO HOME AZIMUTHRecovery without GPS.

LOW-VISIBILITY FINISHTactical finish across the airframe.

WEB STANDOFF RADIOZero RF emissions from the GCS.

RUCKSACK-PORTABLEField-repairable, carried in and carried out.

QUIET ACOUSTIC SIGNATUREReduced audible footprint on approach.

Dual-use, open, and built to be changed

Conflict-informed design on a modular open systems architecture. The payload conversation stays open long after the airframe is fielded.

WEB™ GCS and ATAK

WEB™ GCS is a universal ground control station for multi-domain platforms, including ground robotics, offering a versatile and secure control station. WEB Standoff Radio extends the operational reach between the aircraft and operator, enabling standoff datalink performance while keeping the GCS protected and offset from the forward fight.
