Vector AI

Smart Mid-Range eVTOL sUAS

The Ultimate 2-in-1 ISR System

Vector AI, the new iteration of combat-proven Vector eVTOL sUAS, builds on years of operational experience, with thousands of mission hours across global military operations, including its proven effectiveness in Ukraine. As a silent, mid-endurance electric VTOL fixed-wing sUAS that delivers real-time, high-resolution downlink imagery to operators performing mid-range reconnaissance missions.

Its open systems architecture allows for continuous expansion of the system’s capabilities and functionality. Equipped with onboard computing power and AI capabilities, Vector delivers reliable performance under any circumstances while reducing the cognitive load of the operation. In addition, it offers flexible and enduring flight and surveillance capabilities that exceed the performance of UAS platforms currently operating around the world.

Vector AI is part of a 2-in-1 system that uses the same main fuselage, ground controller, data link, sensors, and AI capabilities. It can alternatively be configured as a multicopter without any changes to the avionics hardware, UI or workflow.

Beyond the airframe, its modular architecture extends to key components-antennas, radios, engines, sensors, and payloads-offering adaptability, rapid field repair, and cost-effective upgrades. With minimal maintenance and built-in interoperability, Vector Al provides a durable, efficient ISR solution for sustained operational effectiveness.

Combat-Proven Technology

Battlefield-Proven, Warfighter-Driven Enhancements for Next-Generation ISR

Vector Al builds on years of operational experience, with thousands of mission hours in global military operations, including its proven effectiveness in Ukraine. Insights from real-world combat have shaped every upgrade, ensuring it meets the current and future needs of the modern warfighter.

Key enhancements include extended battery life for longer endurance, advanced anti-jam GPS antennas for EW resilience, reinforced structural components for durability, and a modular sensor suite for greater mission versatility. Designed with direct user feedback, Vector Al enables rapid deployment, minimal setup, and seamless integration into joint force logistics, delivering proven reliability in the field.

Seamless Operations in GNSS-Denied and EW-Contested Environments

With Vector Al, operators gain enhanced mission endurance and the ability to operate in even the most challenging environments, from dense urban areas to contested combat zones, leveraging advanced EW resilience to maintain critical capabilities where others fail. Onboard Al enhances this adaptability, enabling precise navigation even without GNSS and keeping warfighters connected and operational in the toughest scenarios.

Key Capabilities for GNSS-Denied Operations

Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO)

Enables precise navigation in GPS-denied environments by fusing visual data with inertial sensors, providing continuous and reliable positioning through relative referencing.

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM)

Builds real-time maps of unknown environments while pinpointing its exact location using absolute referencing, allowing for precise maneuvering in contested areas.

Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA)

Maximizes electronic warfare resilience by isolating authentic GNSS signals, neutralizing jamming and spoofing threats to maintain secure navigation.

Anti-Jamming and Dual-Band Connectivity

Ensures robust communication and control in noisy signal environments, providing uninterrupted command and control.

AI/ML-Driven Autonomous Flight

Enables real-time decision making, adaptive flight paths, and automated responses to emerging threats and terrain changes.

Modular Payloads

Allows for quick adaptation to mission needs, including electronic warfare and surveillance for versatile operations across varied environments.

Multi-Platform Integration

Ensures seamless coordination with other platforms and systems, including joint force operation centers, by sharing data with other assets and Battle Management Systems (BMS), such as Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK) and SitaWare Tactical Communication Software in real-time. This capability maximizes battlefield effectiveness, enhancing situational awareness and the ability to react to threats dynamically.

Tactical Recovery System

Ensures mission continuity and asset security in contested zones, providing a failsafe recovery method to prevent equipment loss in critical operations.

QBase Tactical

QBase Tactical is purpose-built for ISR operations, delivering real-time reconnaissance, post-mission analysis, and dynamic mission control. With QuickStart capabilities, intuitive aircraft and sensor management, point-and-click navigation, and in-flight mission updates, operators can rapidly adapt to evolving mission requirements.

QBase Tactical also enables CAT 1 targeting, allowing users to identify, track, and designate targets with precision. Real-time target data sharing enhances coordination with joint forces for rapid responses to emerging threats. For the end user, this means minimized collateral risk, and the ability to execute lowsignature, high-impact operations with confidence and reliability.
