Lantronix Powers Teal Drones' US Army Programme With Compliant Edge AI Tech

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 19 (Bernama) -- Lantronix Inc announced that its TAA- and NDAA-compliant solution has been selected by Teal Drones, a Red Cat Holdings Inc company, for production of its Black Widow drones under the United States (US) Army’s Short-Range Reconnaissance (SRR) Program.

The global leader in Edge artificial intelligence (AI) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions has already initiated production shipments, providing early revenue visibility and underscoring its role as a trusted technology partner for mission‑critical defence applications.

“Our collaboration with Teal Drones underscores our ability to bring secure, high‑performance products to market at scale, creating long‑term opportunities with leading global brands,” said Lantronix chief executive officer and president, Saleel Awsare.

Based on the Qualcomm Dragonwing QRB5165 processor, the Lantronix solution delivers advanced Edge AI processing while meeting stringent US security requirements, enabling full TAA and NDAA compliance for deployment in sensitive Department of Defense (DoD) missions.

Lantronix in a statement said the combination of AI performance and compliance creates a sustainable advantage for the company in the rapidly expanding defence and autonomous systems market.

As part of a select group of Blue UAS-approved small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) vendors, Teal Drones must meet rigorous cybersecurity, operational and safety standards for DoD use.

Lantronix solutions and engineering services combine embedded compute technology, compliance expertise and flexible software support to accelerate customer product development.

This scalable platform approach not only enables rapid time‑to‑market for Teal Drones but also positions Lantronix to support future defence and IIoT programmes requiring TAA and NDAA compliance.
