More Info: The Silver Fox UAV was developed to give the Navy a low cost a bird’s eye view during operations. As the U.S. began preparing its forces for Operation Iraqi Freedom, the Department of the Navy called on the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to help find immediately deployable solutions for some Navy and Marine Corps needs. ONR’s Tech Solutions office, which finds quick technology solutions for the Navy and Marine Corps, developed a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that could give Marines up-to-date imagery on the battlefield.
