About VectorNav
VectorNav Technologies, LLC was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in Dallas, Texas. It designs and manufactures compact inertial measurement units, attitude and heading reference systems, and GNSS-aided inertial navigation systems for aerospace, defence, industrial and autonomous platforms. Its portfolio spans industrial and tactical devices, combining calibrated inertial sensors, onboard estimation algorithms and configurable interfaces for motion, attitude and position sensing.
VectorNav states that more than 100,000 units have been fielded for over 5,000 customers across more than 60 countries. Products are designed, manufactured, calibrated and tested at its AS9100-certified Dallas operation, which the company said was producing tens of thousands of units annually in March 2026. A 100,000-square-foot Dallas-Fort Worth facility acquired in 2025 is intended to expand high-volume production and research capacity.
For robotics and autonomous systems, VectorNav modules provide localisation, navigation, stabilisation and resilient position, navigation and timing. Current development includes high-G Tactical Series configurations and LEO-satellite aiding for navigation when GNSS is degraded or denied.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-06-02 - Capability - VectorNav adds LEO satellite aiding for GNSS-denied navigation
The development kit combines a VN-210E embedded INS, a NAL Technologies ALTM Micro-D receiver and a one-year Iridium development licence. Testing demonstrated positioning within approximately 50 metres CEP in GNSS-denied conditions while maintaining inertial position, velocity and attitude outputs. Program-specific LEO-aiding support is available for full-size VN-210, VN-310 and VN-310E Tactical Series systems.
Source - 2026-03-24 - Capability - VectorNav adds high-G sensing ranges across Tactical Series
New configurations add 95G and 250G accelerometer ranges and a 4,000°/s gyroscope range. The options cover the VN-110, VN-210 and VN-310 families and are drop-in compatible without form, fit or function changes. Engineering units were available for immediate evaluation, with production supported at VectorNav’s AS9100-certified Dallas operation.
Source - 2025-06-24 - Production Milestone - VectorNav acquires 100,000 sq ft facility to scale navigation production
VectorNav acquired a 100,000 sq ft Dallas-Fort Worth facility to expand production and development capacity for inertial-navigation and APNT products. The facility supports R&D, workforce growth and scaled production of navigation solutions. VectorNav linked the expansion to demand from autonomous systems, defense, aerospace and industrial markets.
Source - 2025-04-30 - Partnership - VectorNav and NAL Research partner on GNSS-denied navigation
The combined system targets resilient PNT for uncrewed systems and dynamic autonomous platforms. The offering pairs VectorNav’s VN-210E GNSS-aided INS with NAL Research Iridium STL receiver technology. Iridium STL signals were described as up to 1,000 times stronger than GPS, supporting operation where GNSS is jammed, obstructed or unavailable.
Source - 2023-10-09 - Product Launch - VectorNav launches VN-210-S and VN-310-S tactical GNSS/INS systems
VN-210-S combines a tactical-grade IMU with a triple-frequency 448-channel GNSS receiver. VN-310-S adds dual GNSS receivers for GNSS-compassing and heading estimates in stationary or low-dynamic operation. The systems target RF-congested and GNSS-contested use cases relevant to autonomous vehicles, aerospace, defense, marine, and robotics integrators.
