Rugged, intelligent and built for complex combat environments, these new systems mark the latest evolution in a growing family of sovereign uncrewed aerial systems built in Britain, for the UK and its allies.
From sub-250g soldier-portable ISR to sub-4kg endurance platforms and training-ready variants, the Evolve Dynamics NATO series is designed as a cohesive UAS suite – all compatible with a universal COMMANDER ground control system and common software for rapid scaling, streamlined training and seamless mission integration.
FOXE-NATO
The Lightweight FOXE-NATO is a sub-250g tactical UAS designed for rapid deployment in contested environments. It brings robust ISR capability to dismounted forces, with survivability and intelligence previously reserved for larger systems.
Key features include:
Object tracking and classification with onboard AI
EW-resilient communications resistant to jamming and spoofing
Full GNSS-denied visual navigation
Dual 4K EO + IR sensor for day/night ISR
Foldable carbon-fibre exoskeleton for pouch portability
35-minute endurance
WOLFE-NATO
A sub-4kg ISR drone, WOLFE-NATO is designed for longer-range missions and demanding terrain. Built to survive and operate in the harshest conditions, it brings autonomy, performance and payload flexibility together in a compact battlefield-ready platform.
Key features:
Autonomous mission planning, obstacle avoidance and real-time object tracking
EW-resilient comms and full GNSS-denied visual navigation
Three-axis gimbal with best in class EO/IR optics
Up to 63-minute flight endurance
Modular payload bay for integration of third-party payloads
The Evolve NATO series has system-wide coherence. Both FOXE-NATO and WOLFE-NATO platforms run the same control software and operate on the universal COMMANDER ground control system, simplifying operator training, logistics and mission planning across units.
The NATO Series includes a dedicated training variant, WOLFE-T, allowing units to build and maintain ISR and flight skills without risking operational assets – delivering real-world performance in a controlled environment.
Tom Redman, CEO of Evolve Dynamics, said: "With the launch of our NATO series - including FOXE, WOLFE, WOLFE-T and the COMMANDER ground control system - we’re not just delivering individual platforms; we’re delivering an integrated and sovereign capability suite.
“This enables a cohesive training pipeline, a shared control architecture and forms the foundation for collaborative multidrone operations across the entire platform family.
“Designed with warfighters, for warfighters, our systems are optimised for real operations, not lab conditions. We’re proud to contribute to a secure, sovereign future by delivering scalable capability that can be fielded now and evolved over time."
