The ''Owens'' is a strong spotting unit for artillery and [[semi-guided LRM]]s as well as a point 'Mech for C3 [[lance]]s, with its permanently mounted [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] laser designator and [[C3 slave]] unit. The ''Owens'' is also outfitted with a permanently mounted [[Beagle active probe]] that allows the 'Mech to detect hidden enemy units. The ''Owens'' has a top speed of 129.6 km/h and is protected with seven tons of armor, and the 'Mech's unique mix of speed, armor, and electronic warfare equipment make the ''Owens'' a valuable asset in urban and dense woods or jungle environments where it can find an enemy unit that is hidden, designate them for an artillery strike, and then leave the area at high speeds.<ref name=TRO3058Up124f/><ref name=TRO3058p82f/> − − Following the lessons learned from the proof of concept ''[[Raptor]]'', the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] authorized [[Luthien Armor Works]] to produce a full line of OmniMechs. Following a [[Black Hawk-KU|reverse-engineered copy of the ''Black Hawk'']], the next 'Mech was an OmniMech version of the venerable staple of the Combine's light 'Mechs forces - the ''Jenner''. With the new design focused on the classic cavalry roles of screening and reconnaissance, in a surprising move the DCMS chose to name the 'Mech for [[w:Garryowen (air)|''Gary Owens'']], an ancient [[Terra]]n drinking song long associated with cavalry units. That the naming convention of most Combine 'Mechs drew from [[House Kurita]]'s Japanese cultural preferences resulted in confusion and wasted intelligence efforts on the part of the other [[Inner Sphere]] factions attempting to divine some deeper meaning upon the introduction of the ''Owens''.<ref name=TRO3058Up124f/><ref name=TRO3058p82f/> − − Reaching DCMS units starting in [[3056]], by the outbreak of the [[Word of Blake Jihad]] most frontline [[regiment]]s could boast between a [[lance]] to a [[company]] of versatile ''Owens''.
