SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Nov. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (Nasdaq: RCAT) (“Red Cat” or the “Company”), a drone technology company integrating robotic hardware and software for military, government and commercial operations, announces CEO Jeff Thompson will be a featured speaker at the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International’s Partnership for Drone Competitiveness press conference to be held in Washington, D.C. at 1pm ET on November 14, 2023. The event commemorates the recent launch of the alliance at the House Triangle outside of the Capitol and will feature leading U.S. drone companies and members of Congress.
The Partnership for Drone Competitiveness, established in September 2023, is a coalition of U.S. drone companies and manufacturers focused on enhancing the U.S. drone industry, and on reducing the country’s reliance on Chinese drones. Its premise is “that stronger U.S. leadership in this industry is better for everyone.” The press conference will also focus on supporting legislation advancing U.S. competitiveness in the drone industry, such as the American Security Drone Act that will help create new opportunities for domestic/allied drone manufacturers in foreign subsidized competition.
“Participating in the Partnership for Drone Competitiveness reinforces our dedication to building a stronger domestic drone base,” stated Jeff Thompson, Red Cat’s Founder and CEO. “We sincerely believe this coalition will strengthen U.S. manufacturing and provide better solutions for both public and private organizations. Drones made in China bring known and unknown security threats, yet many federal agencies and law enforcement agencies across the country rely heavily on such drones in their daily operations. Red Cat emphatically endorses the mission of this Partnership to increase awareness of such risks and to eliminate the use of foreign drones in the public sector.”
