Evidence & current status

Current supplier naming differs between pages; no separately verified fleet acceptance is inferred from catalogue availability.

MV-100 is the EOS Technologie/KNDS fixed-wing entry in the French loitering-munition portfolio. KNDS uses VELOCE on the French product page and LARINAE in other portfolio material. These labels are retained as aliases rather than treated as independent aircraft without evidence of a configuration split.

The current product table describes a turbine-powered airframe and provides its dimensions, mass and stated endurance. Those values belong to the named MV-100 configuration. They should not be applied to other Larinae competitors or to the much smaller Delair/KNDS rotary-wing products.

A product listing establishes the supplier offering and its claimed characteristics. It does not establish a named operational fleet or prove that all development objectives have been achieved. This record therefore keeps customer acceptance and delivery totals open, while providing a clear identity against which later programme announcements can be checked.

Figures apply to the named configuration. Maximum values are not guaranteed operating performance.
