US Army officials are in the final stages of reviewing a Capability Production Document (CPD) calling for a new micro unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and long-range UAV for its hand-launched family of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS). The SUAS family is expected to include a short-range micro (SRM), medium-range mobile (MRM), and long-range reconnaissance and surveillance (LRRS) fleet of unmanned aircraft. The army's Raven and Puma are currently fulfilling the latter two requirements, and the service has not yet procured its new SRM UAS requirement.
