SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, April 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: RCAT) ("Red Cat"), a drone technology company integrating robotic hardware and software for military, government, and commercial operations, announces a partnership with Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: OPTT) ("OPT"), a leader in innovative and cost-effective low-carbon marine power, data, and service solutions. The partnership will enable organizations using OPT's PowerBuoy and WAM-V platforms to deploy Teal 2 Drones as part of their strategy to leverage autonomous vehicles to assess and address maritime threats in real time.
波多黎各圣胡安，2024年4月9日（GLOBE NEWSWIRE）——为军事、政府和商业运营整合机器人硬件和软件的无人机技术公司红猫控股公司（NYSE American：OPTT）（“OPT”）宣布与创新和具有成本效益的低碳船用能源、数据和服务解决方案的领导者海洋动力技术公司（纽约证券交易所美国股票代码：OPTT）（“OPT”）建立合作伙伴关系。该合作伙伴关系将使使用OPT的PowerBuoy和WAM-V平台的组织能够部署Teal 2无人机，这是其利用自动驾驶车辆实时评估和应对海上威胁的战略的一部分。
"Partnering with Ocean Power Technologies is a significant part of our strategy to address the needs and requirements of the Pentagon's Replicator Initiative with drone and swarming capabilities across multiple domains, including maritime missions," said George Matus, Red Cat's Chief Technology Officer. "We see significant opportunity for drones to extend ocean surveillance and situational awareness alongside autonomous surface vehicles to quickly move data across the air and sea while increasing the safety of reconnaissance teams and warfighters."
红猫首席技术官乔治·马图斯表示：“与海洋动力科技公司合作是我们战略的重要组成部分，该计划旨在通过无人机和蜂群能力跨越多个领域，包括海上任务，满足五角大楼复制器计划的需求和要求。”“我们认为，无人机有重大机会扩展海洋监视和态势感知能力，同时自动驾驶水面飞行器可以在空中和海上快速传输数据，同时提高侦察队和作战人员的安全。”
Red Cat's collaboration with Ocean Power Technologies and integration with OPT's maritime domain awareness solution adds to its robust tactical ecosystem of partnerships with leading companies to provide the best solutions to clients for their tactical missions. Other Red Cat hardware and software partners include Primordial Labs, Tomahawk Robotics, Athena AI, Teledyne FLIR, Reveal Technology, Immervision, and Doodle Labs, which enable capabilities such as computer vision, AI, and third-party apps.
Red Cat 与 Ocean Power Technologies 的合作以及与 OPT 海域感知解决方案的整合，进一步增强了其与领先公司的强大战术生态系统，为客户的战术任务提供最佳解决方案。其他红猫硬件和软件合作伙伴包括Primordial Labs、Tomahawk Robotics、Athena AI、Teledyne FLIR、Reveal Technology、Immervision和Doodle Labs，它们支持计算机视觉、人工智能和第三方应用程序等功能。
"Our core mission is to provide advanced autonomy solutions for greater maritime situational awareness for a variety of science and technology applications, including defense and security missions," said Matt Burdyny, Chief Commercial Officer of Ocean Power Technologies. "As technology plays an increasingly important role in naval shoreline and border protection, as well as potential battlefield scenarios, partnerships like this one with Red Cat are key to increasing mission range and endurance for existing manned and unmanned assets that are part of a larger defense network."
海洋动力科技首席商务官马特·伯迪尼表示：“我们的核心使命是为各种科学和技术应用（包括国防和安全任务）提供先进的自主解决方案，以提高海上态势感知能力。”“随着技术在海军海岸线和边境保护以及潜在的战场情景中发挥着越来越重要的作用，与Red Cat这样的合作伙伴关系是增加作为更大防御网络一部分的现有载人和无人资产的任务范围和耐力的关键。”
Red Cat subsidiary Teal Drones builds its Teal 2 drone solutions, designed to support U.S. and allied military operations, public safety organizations, and government agencies, at its South Salt Lake facility. Teal 2 is a cost-effective, man-portable sUAS designed to "Dominate the Night" that has best-in-class night vision, multi-vehicle control support, and a fully modular design. It is both Blue UAS Certified and FAA Remote ID approved.
Red Cat 子公司 Teal Drones 在其南盐湖城工厂开发其 Teal 2 无人机解决方案，旨在支持美国和盟军的军事行动、公共安全组织和政府机构。Teal 2 是一款经济实惠的便携式 SUA，专为 “主宰夜晚” 而设计，具有一流的夜视、多车辆控制支持和完全模块化的设计。它既通过了 Blue UAS 认证，又获得了 FAA 远程身份认证。
OPT's PowerBuoy can act as an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) which constantly recharges itself by harvesting energy from the waves. It is ocean-deployed, moored and floats over the point of use and can operate in any ocean depth over 20 meters and up to 3,000 meters (3 km). Through its Marine Advanced Robotics subsidiary, OPT offers the WAM-V — or Wave Adaptive Modular Vessel — an innovative class of autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) that uses an articulating suspension system to minimize structural loading.
OPT的PowerBuoy可以充当不间断电源（UPS），通过从海浪中收集能量来不断自我充电。它在海上部署、停泊并漂浮在使用点上方，可以在任何海洋深度超过 20 米、最长 3,000 米（3 千米）处运行。OPT通过其Marine Advanced Robotics子公司提供WAM-V（或Wave Adaptive Adaptive Modulary Vessel），这是一种创新的自主水面飞行器（ASV），它使用铰接式悬架系统来最大限度地减少结构载荷。
