UAV Navigation, a division of Grupo Oesía specializing in advanced guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) solutions for unmanned vehicles, has announced the launch of VECTOR-300. This new high-performance autopilot is designed to meet the industrial and operational requirements of mass-produced, attritable unmanned aerial systems, with a clear focus on loitering munition and counter-UAS (C-UAS) interceptor applications.
VECTOR-300 has been engineered to combine advanced autonomous GNC capabilities with scalability and manufacturability. Its architecture is deliberately designed to reduce technical complexity and enable agile, large-scale production while ensuring consistent and reliable performance across high-volume deployments.
Designed for high-dynamic interception and terminal missions, VECTOR-300 delivers strike-to-target precision guidance with bullseye-level accuracy. The autopilot supports the integration of AI-based target identification and optical data directly into its autonomous GNC loops, enabling advanced engagement of both static and dynamic targets. This architecture supports real-time trajectory adaptation during pursuit and terminal engagement phases, making VECTOR-300 ideally suited for demanding loitering munition and C-UAS interceptor operations.
VECTOR-300 is designed to operate in highly contested and GNSS-denied environments, even under electronic warfare (EW) jamming, spoofing, and meaconing. Its robust navigation core relies on advanced inertial algorithms and multi-sensor fusion to ensure mission continuity across all phases of operation. It can be easily complemented with UAV Navigation–Grupo Oesía proprietary solutions such as the Visual Navigation System to enhance dead reckoning accuracy.
Building on the battlefield-proven capabilities of the VECTOR autopilot family, VECTOR-300 enables the full range of advanced operations already established across UAV Navigation–Grupo Oesía solutions. These include fully autonomous mission execution, swarming and formation flight, 4D trajectory management (reaching targets at a predefined time), high-dynamic maneuvers, and manned-unmanned teaming (MUT) operations, among many other advanced autonomous capabilities.
Fully aligned with the UAV Navigation–Grupo Oesía product family, VECTOR-300 features an open and modular architecture designed to ensure interoperability with third-party platforms, payloads, and sensors through seamless integration with VECTOR MCC. This architecture also enables the integration of autonomous decision-making software, allowing platforms equipped with VECTOR-300 to adapt to evolving concepts of operation and advanced autonomy requirements.
Conceived to meet both today’s operational demands and the long-term evolution of the unmanned systems domain, VECTOR-300 embodies UAV Navigation–Grupo Oesía’s approach to advanced autonomy aligned with global defense industrial strategies. Its scalable, resilient, and future-ready design ensures sustained relevance across evolving defense programs and industrial frameworks.
