Teal Drones, now part of Red Cat Holdings, is an American-based developer and manufacturer of unmanned aerial vehicles, including the Golden Eagle UAV series. The company has customers in North America, and throughout Europe who use its vehicles for reconnaissance and public safety.
History[edit]
Teal Drones was founded by Thiel Fellow, George Matus in 2015 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The company's first products were its Sport and Teal One consumer drones, the first of their kind to be manufactured in the United States. The company has since grown into the enterprise and government sectors with the Golden Eagle drones, being a U.S. government-approved drone designed for reconnaissance, public safety, and inspection applications. Teal's open and modular platform allowed a critical mass of applications to be developed and integrated for next-generation capabilities. Partners actively integrating technologies with Teal include Autonodyne, Tomahawk Robotics, Dronelink and Skyward.
On August 27, 2020, the Defense Department's Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) approved small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) made by 5 different manufactures including Teal Drones, thus allowing military units to purchase and use in the field.[1]
