Evidence & current status
No named military acceptance established. Variants remain together to avoid unsupported individual fleet counts.
Veloce is ST Engineering's fixed-wing VTOL surveillance family. The Veloce 15 uses dedicated vertical-lift rotors and is offered for portable observation missions. The larger Veloce 60 combines electric vertical flight with petrol-powered cruise and is also promoted for maritime operation.
The two models occupy different endurance and communications classes. This family record therefore keeps their figures paired with their names, rather than presenting the smaller aircraft with the larger one's performance. The published distances are data-link ranges, not a guarantee of mission radius. Similarly, the Veloce 60 sea-state claim concerns the supplier's stated shipboard offering and is not evidence of acceptance on a particular naval vessel.
The current manufacturer catalogue provides a clear technical distinction but no named military recipient or dated acceptance milestone for either model. Both remain supplier-described configurations in this collection. Confirmed customer versions and a dated mass-and-payload table would support more detailed separate model records.
