The Department of the Air Force is procuring Field Service Representative (FSR) support services from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems for the MQ-9 Reaper Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV) under the Proliferated Low Earth Orbit (PLEO) Joint Urgent Operational Need (JUON). This support addresses an urgent operational requirement, likely enabling integration of PLEO satellite capabilities for enhanced ISR-T in contested environments, building on the MQ-9's role in rapid fielding via frameworks like ARES. The contract, valued at USD 6,914,701, sustains operational readiness amid growing demand for the high-endurance Reaper platform.
