Long Range Reconnaissance (LRR) capability is filled, for selected battalions, by Puma—procured under an operational needs statement (ONS) that does not meet all LRR threshold requirements. There is a significant demand signal from the operational force for an LRR capability. Since January 2018, there were 107 Puma SUASs requested and 57 fulfilled. SUAS technology has matured to allow affordable LRR threshold requirements as well assome objective requirements such as vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capabilities that battalions have requested.
