Evidence & current status
Serial-production marketing does not identify named military acceptance. Armed derivatives have separate development status.
Nauru 100D is Xmobots' portable electric VTOL surveillance aircraft. It occupies a smaller size class than the Nauru 500C and 1000C, using a wing-borne cruise phase after vertical take-off. The manufacturer describes a two-person portable system with visible-light and thermal observation equipment.
Its technical page gives two hours of flight per battery. The same page advertises more than six hours of system availability using three batteries; this is not a six-hour uninterrupted sortie. Comparisons must preserve that distinction and the selected sensor configuration.
Xmobots separately discusses UCAV and swarm developments derived from the 100D. Its 2026 reporting describes an armed-version demonstration, while the product page labels derivative concepts. Neither establishes that every derivative shares an accepted military configuration. This record follows the surveillance baseline and leaves named customer acceptance open.
