This story from Defense Industry Daily along with this piece from Ceramic Tech Weekly provide some interesting information and analysis on the June 8, 2009 BAE Systems’ acquisition of Advanced Ceramics Research’s (ACR) UAV business, makers of the Silver Fox and Coyote UAVs.  For its size (approx. 25 lbs. MTOW) the Silver Fox boasts an endurance of 8-10 hours with a reciprocating engine.  The acquisition should give BAE Systems greater access to tactical, fixed wing UAV customers within DoD as well as around the world.
