OF92/EVA was developed by the Office of Naval Intelligence in conjunction with [[UNSC Special Forces|Naval Special Operations]] and the [[University of Songnam]]. As evidenced by its open cockpit design, it was developed alongside the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR project]] and in tandem with the research done on EVA, or [[extra-vehicular activity]] technology following the [[Summa Deep Space Incident]]. As with many ONI projects, both the analysis and eventual matériel response were heavily classified. Because their overall cost clashes with their expendable nature, neither ONI nor the UNSC have no plans for widespread application or production.{{Ref/Reuse|booster}} In fact, it is technically classified by the [[UNSC Navy]] as spacecraft ammunition rather than a spacecraft.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC}} | OF92/EVA was developed by the Office of Naval Intelligence in conjunction with [[UNSC Special Forces|Naval Special Operations]] and the [[University of Songnam]].
