Marine Corps Combat Development and Integration recently demonstrated an innovative method to transport combat supplies with the Tactical Resupply Unmanned Aircraft System at the semi-annual Installations and Logistics Board held here.,
The Marines have a plan for a fight spread out across wide swaths of the Pacific with small units moving from island to island. Now, the service is working through how it will get bullets, beans and bandages to units spread across thousands of miles. Marine Corps Commandant Gen. David Berger signed off on a […]
Marines eye tactical resupply drone prototypes 5 days ago Just like Amazon wants to use drones to drop off packages on your doorstep, the Marines want to use UAS systems for tactical resupply to squads in the field. Military Times Todd South looks goes to Periscope Aviation s headquarters for a look at where heavy-lift drone technology is headed. The Marines are one step closer to finding ways to transport vital supplies to Marines on the move via drones. In 2020, the Corps sought prototype drones that would be able to carry a 60 pound payload on a 20 km roundtrip. After evaluations at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona, the Corps picked Periscope Aviation and Malloy Aeronautics to build competing drones under the Tactical Resupply Unmanned Aircraft System program.

Survice Engineering’s TRV-150 Tactical Resupply Unmanned Aircraft System
The Marines assessed a two prototypes of Tactical Resupply Unmanned Aircraft System (TRUAS) in March at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona.
The prototypes were identified by a successful prize challenge in last year. Anticipated future end users were given the opportunity to work with both prototype systems – Survice Engineering’s TRV-150 and Chartis Federal’s MK4-RX – to assess the capability in order to inform the final requirement for TRUAS, Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) said in a statement.
The prototypes were designed to meet the Marines initial requirements for an autonomous unmanned system that can transport at least 60 pounds of cargo in various configurations commonly found in Marine company/platoon/squad resupply operations (ex: 5-gallon water can, ammo can/case, Meals-Ready-to-Eat case) through a 10-kilometer
