Red Cat Partners with ESAero to Support Manufacturing for Teal's Black Widow™
ESAero will provide AS9100 manufacturing capacity and engineering services to support production of the Black Widow sUAS SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, May 27, 2025 (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, today announced a partnership with ESAero to provide critical AS9100 manufacturing capacity for the Black Widow sUAS and its subsystems. The AS9100 standard ensures a manufacturer has a quality management system in place to meet the stringent requirements of the aerospace industry. Teal Drones is a wholly owned subsidiary of Red Cat Holdings. The company's Black Widow drone is a small unmanned aerial system (sUAS) designed for short-range reconnaissance (SRR) missions. The system, which was down selected for the U.S. Army's SRR Program of Record contract, provides military operators with improved situational awareness, autonomous capabilities, and rugged performance in contested environments. 'As we ramp up production of the Black Widow to fulfill our SRR contracts and meet growing demand from U.S. and international customers, securing high-quality, aerospace-certified manufacturing capacity is critical,' said Jeff Thompson, Red Cat CEO. 'ESAero's facilities, combined with their deep engineering expertise, make them an ideal partner for Red Cat. This collaboration supports our ability to scale manufacturing, focus on continuous improvement, and deliver mission-ready sUAS platforms to the warfighters that depend on them.' ESAero is committed to supporting Red Cat's mission of delivering high-quality Made-in-America sUAS to its customers and the warfighter. With multiple AS9100-certified manufacturing facilities located in San Luis Obispo, CA, ESAero is well-positioned to enhance the production throughput of Teal's technologies for key customers. ESAero's vertically integrated facilities and robust supply chain are perfectly suited to bolster the production of components and subsystems for Black Widow in a schedule-driven manner. 'We have had a great relationship with Red Cat over the past year and a half supporting various developments, including the Teal 2 and Black Widow,' said Andrew Gibson, President, CEO, and Co-Founder of ESAero. 'During this time, we have made significant investments in our manufacturing capability for producing Group I – III UAS at scale, which we are thrilled to now provide to Red Cat and Teal. We believe this partnership will effectively and efficiently provide Teal the capacity they need to meet the production needs of their customers and the warfighter.' Red Cat and ESAero recognize the importance of strong partnerships within America's industrial base to meet the critical production needs of the warfighter. By combining Teal's core technology with ESAero's proven ability to scale production of advanced systems, Black Widow will be well positioned to be deployed rapidly and reliably.

Zoe Daniel labelled ‘embarrassing' after demanding recount in seat of Goldstein
IPA Senior Fellow and Chief Economist Adam Creighton says it is 'embarrassing' for Teal MP Zoe Daniel to ask for a recount after not conceding defeat. The Australian Electoral Commission is holding a partial recount of votes in the seat of Goldstein after Ms Daniels continued to refuse to concede defeat despite her loss being declared several times. 'The footage of her claiming victory will be one of the funniest sets of footage, I think, in Australian political history,' Mr Creighton told Sky News host Rita Panahi. 'They didn't have to do a recount … she would've been better not asking for one.'

Federal election: Seats of Goldstein, Bradfield set for recount
One of the election's closest races will go to a partial recount, while a second tally gets underway in another knife-edge electorate. Almost a month after the federal election, officials will launch a partial recount in the inner-city Melbourne seat of Goldstein after a full distribution put Liberal Tim Wilson ahead of incumbent independent Zoe Daniel by 260 votes. Teal independent Daniel previously declared an early win, dancing on stage and throwing punches into the air as she thanked supporters for an 'extraordinary victory'. From Wednesday, all first-preference ballots for either candidate will be re-examined alongside all informal votes. Daniel on Saturday submitted a request for a full recount, which the Australian Electoral Commission labelled as 'instructive but not determinative' before granting a partial recount. The electoral commission on Monday noted the distribution of preferences — the fourth count of ballots undertaken — found some votes had been entered into the system incorrectly. The commission maintained its process was 'doing its job' as a thorough, closely scrutinised preference distribution and check. 'It is not uncommon to identify discrepancies in the complex and detailed distribution of preferences process, indeed this is one of the benefits,' the commission said in a statement. The partial recount is expected to take up to four days. Daniel thanked her scrutineers and electoral commission staff while her opponent, Wilson, said he remained 'very relaxed' about the count. Elsewhere in Melbourne, a nail-biting four-way contest in the seat of Calwell has been called for Labor by the ABC's election analyst Antony Green. In the North Sydney electorate of Bradfield, where just eight votes separated Liberal candidate Gisele Kapterian from independent challenger Nicolette Boele, a full recount is underway. But political wonks and candidates need not hold their breath, with the process to take as long as two weeks — allowing for a new count of all first-preference votes, a re-examination of all informal votes, a complete recount of the two-candidate preferred tally and a full distribution of preferences. Scrutineers could also extend the timeline, as the tightness of the count fuels closer examination of ballots. Boele is contesting Bradfield for a second time with former Liberal minister Paul Fletcher having retired after holding the seat for 16 years. Any lower house contest that ends with a margin fewer than 100 votes automatically undergoes a recount. Should election officials return with similar results, Bradfield could go to a by-election or its result could be disputed in court.

AEC confirms partial recount in Goldstein after teal's request
The Australian Election Commission (AEC) will carry out a partial recount in the Melbourne seat of Goldstein after a request from independent Zoe Daniel. The AEC over the weekend declared Liberal moderate Tim Wilson the winner by 260 votes. But Ms Daniel, who unseated Mr Wilson in 2022, said a recount was needed because of the 'very tight margin and several errors'. The AEC on Monday confirmed it would comply. 'The direction to conduct a partial recount has been made on the basis of advice from the national election manager to the electoral commissioner that in order to ensure the greatest level of confidence in the final result and the utmost integrity in the counting process, there should be a re-examination of all first preference ballot papers for Tim Wilson and Zoe Daniel as well as all informal votes,' the AEC said in a statement. 'The recount request submitted by independent candidate Zoe Daniel was carefully considered and was instructive but not determinative, and her request for a full recount has not been granted.' The AEC said the recount would start on Wednesday. Ms Daniel welcomed the recount, thanking her 'scrutineers and AEC staff for their diligence and dedication to the democratic process'. 'I will be making no further comment until the process is complete,' she said in a statement. Mr Wilson, who has urged Ms Daniel to accept the result, said he was 'very relaxed about every count and recount to date in Goldstein' but accused the Teal of working with consultants 'that have also been consulting to Labor and who have been providing cover to push for this recount'. 'I look forward to the conclusion of the partial recount and the declaration of the poll, and thank the AEC staff, all scrutineers and the people of Goldstein,' he posted on social media.
