The Javelin M-1 Eternal is a reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle designed by Javelin Industries. It is stealth, long endurance, and can fly at high altitudes. It is fully autonomous and capable of taking off, flying to its designated reconnaissance target, gather and transmit sensor data, and then return to base without any human intervention.
The first prototype of the M-1 completed its airworthiness trials in 1698 AN with a further seven examples being completed across the remainder of the decade.
Six examples of the type are operated by the Federal Forces of Nouvelle Alexandrie on behalf of the Raspur Pact, providing a theatre-level reconnaissance capability for the continental theatre commands of the Pact.
In addition to the prototype, Javelin Industries maintained a second M-1 for operator familiarisation training and as a testbed.
