The U.S. Marine Corps plans to hold a two-week fly-off beginning Jan. 25, 2027, for companies competing to meet updated requirements for its Tactical Resupply UAS Increment II program. The event will assess candidate unmanned aircraft designed for tactical resupply.
Key details
- The competition concerns Tactical Resupply UAS (TRUAS) Increment II.
- The fly-off is scheduled for early 2027 and is planned to run for two weeks.
The planned fly-off is scheduled to begin Jan. 25, 2027.
Why it matters
The competition will give the Marine Corps a way to evaluate aircraft proposed for tactical resupply, a role that can move supplies to forces operating away from established logistics routes. The program also gives participating companies a defined opportunity to demonstrate their designs against updated requirements.
