French Made EOS Veloce 330 UAV finally available for Air force.

The Veloce 330 is a new-generation kamikaze drone developed by the French company EOS Technologie. Designed within the framework of the LARINAE program, this drone represents a medium-range remotely operated munition capable of neutralizing armored targets within a 50-kilometer radius. Presented in April 2024, a flight demonstration was conducted for the armed services and the Direction générale de l'armement (DGA) on June 11, 2024, in the southwest of France.

The "Veloce 330" is designed with a range of 80 km and an endurance of three hours. The munition utilizes vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) technology and is equipped with a Core Generating Charge to counter active defenses. A GPS-independent and jamming-resistant navigation system, developed by TRAAK, is also integrated.

In addition to its attack capabilities, the "Veloce 330" can perform intelligence missions thanks to an optronic sphere capable of detecting vehicles up to 15 km away during the day and 3 km at night. The munition is designed to ensure that human intervention remains central in the operational decision loop.

Jean-Marc Zuliani, the CEO of EOS Technologie, stated that due to its nature and very low-altitude flight, the Veloce 330 drone is extremely difficult to intercept. He humorously added that if one hears the drone, it is already too late.

EOS Technologies has announced that 10 UAVs are ready and an additional 20 will be ready in the coming weeks. The French army can now place orders to test this platform.
