The Mirach 150 is a reconnaissance UAV developed in Italy in the 1990s. A turbojet-powered machine, it is apparently a derivative of the Mirach 100 series of targets, being of the same general size and also powered by a Microturbo TRS-18-1 turbojet.

Meteor is now promoting a new derivative of the Meteor 150, named the Nibbio, for tactical reconnaissance and other missions. It has an operational radius of 380 kilometers (240 mi) and can carry a 60 kilogram (122 pound) payload, including EO-IR imagers, SIGINT payloads, or ECM payloads. It can be ground or air-launched, and is recovered by parachute.
