UAV Navigation–Grupo Oesía Launches New Autopilot for Loitering Munitions and C-UAS Interceptors

UAV Navigation, a division of Grupo Oesía specializing in advanced guidance, navigation and control solutions for unmanned vehicles, has announced the launch of VECTOR-300, a new high performance autopilot 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 interceptor applications.

VECTOR-300 has been engineered to combine advanced autonomous guidance, navigation and control (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 is designed to support the integration of AI based target identification and optical data directly into its autonomous guidance, navigation and control (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 multisensor fusion to ensure mission continuity across all phases of operation and 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 to reach 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 defence programs and industrial frameworks.
