The 's Air Warfare Program Management Office announced a demonstration, from 25 January to 5 February 2027 in Huntsville, Alabama, for Increment II of the Marine Corps' Tactical Resupply Unmanned Aircraft System program, aimed at small-unit resupply over the last tactical mile.

Contractors will fly up to five flights. The first requires carrying 100 pounds up to 40 nautical miles, dropping it automatically or by manual control and returning without refuelling; another carries 150 pounds or more to 10 nautical miles. The aircraft must fly at least 50 knots, stay below 1,000 feet, and launch and recover without a catapult, net or cable. This is a demonstration, not a contract award.
