The AeroVironment RQ-20 Puma is a small American unmanned aircraft system that is battery powered and launched by hand, built for surveillance and intelligence gathering with electro-optical and infrared cameras. A military system pairs three air vehicles with two ground stations. The all-environment version was picked by United States Special Operations Command in 2008 and designated RQ-20A by the Army in 2012, and later versions include the RQ-20B, a long endurance model and the maritime Puma 3 AE, which can land on water. In 2013 it became one of the first unmanned aircraft certified by the Federal Aviation Administration to fly commercially in United States airspace, and it has been supplied to many countries, including Ukraine.
