France successfully tested the MUTANT loitering munition, developed by MBDA and Delair under the LARINAE program.

Two variants, Akeron RCH-140 (12 kg, XX km range) and Akeron RCH-170 (18 kg, 50–70 km range, 60-min endurance), target armored and mobile threats with advanced warheads. 

Tests at Biscarrosse validated over XX km engagement. 

Production starts late 2026, with further tests in summer 2025.
