Evolve Dynamics Unveils Foxe and Wolfe: Innovative Miniaturized UAS Solutions for Defense
In a remarkable announcement coinciding with the 80th anniversary of VE Day, Evolve Dynamics, a leading British developer of advanced Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS), has introduced two new miniaturized UAS platforms: Foxe and Wolfe. Designed to fulfill the stringent requirements of modern warfare, these systems represent a significant advancement in tactical intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities.
The Foxe and Wolfe platforms were developed by incorporating lessons learned from their deployment on the battlefield in Ukraine. Each platform offers enhanced resilience and performance, proving essential in challenging environments.
The launch event took place in Hampshire, UK, aiming to honor veterans of the UK armed forces. Members of the Royal British Legion were in attendance to experience the innovative technology firsthand, engage in UAS flying activities, tour the development and manufacturing facilities, and participate in a themed afternoon tea.
Foxe: Swift ISR for Tactical Advantage
Named in tribute to the intrepid Arctic explorer Luke Foxe, Foxe is a light-weight, hand-launchable UAS weighing less than 250 grams, engineered for rapid ISR deployment in high-pressure situations. Echoing the resilience and exploratory spirit of its namesake, the Foxe system is designed to push the envelope in tactical ISR.
Key features of Foxe include:
- Remarkable weather resistance: Operates reliably in winds up to 15.5 m/s (35 mph), rain, and challenging coastal conditions (IP54 rated).
- Temperature versatility: Proven functionality in environments ranging from -20°C to +55°C.
- Durable and serviceable: Combat-ready construction designed for tough conditions, with easily repairable components.
- Extended flight time: Up to 35 minutes for sustained surveillance.
- Electronic warfare resistance: Features frequency-hopping technology for consistent performance in contested areas.
- Simplified operation: Requires minimal training, making it quick to learn and deploy.
- Rapid setup: Ready to launch in under 90 seconds from pouch to air.
- User-friendly controls: Accessible for personnel without specialized training.
Wolfe: Robust UAS for Long-Duration Missions
Wolfe, named after the distinguished British military strategist General James Wolfe, is a rugged UAS weighing under 4 kg and designed for prolonged missions in extreme conditions. The Wolfe system integrates strength, stealth, and strategic intelligence, proving essential for effective ISR.
Key features of Wolfe include:
- Unparalleled wind resilience: Operates steadily in sustained winds of up to 20 m/s (45 mph).
- Extended operational capacity: Flight time of up to 60 minutes with swappable power sources for continuous missions.
- Superior weatherproofing: Rated IP55 for reliable performance in rain, dust, and salt air.
