About
About UAV Navigation–Grupo Oesía
UAV Navigation–Grupo Oesía develops guidance, navigation and control systems for unmanned aircraft and surface vehicles. Its range combines VECTOR autopilots, attitude and heading reference systems, flight-control algorithms and Visionair ground-control software for planning, configuring and executing missions.
The systems support fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, VTOL platforms, target drones, loitering munitions and unmanned surface vessels. Capabilities include GNSS-denied navigation, swarming, manned-unmanned teaming and autonomous mission execution, with hardware and software designed for integration by aerospace manufacturers into civil and defence platforms.
