UAV Navigation–Grupo Oesía Joins EDF-Funded VANTAGE Project to Strengthen European Defense UAV Capabilities
- UAV Navigation–Grupo Oesía has been selected as a core technology provider for the VANTAGE project, supported by the European Defence Fund (EDF), to develop advanced tactical VTOL unmanned aerial vehicles for military missions.
- The VANTAGE project, led by Latvian telecommunications provider LMT, aims to create a modular VTOL platform for intelligence gathering, surveillance, reconnaissance, and kinetic strikes in complex battlefield environments.
- UAV Navigation–Grupo Oesía will provide advanced guidance, navigation, and control systems for the drones to ensure reliable performance even in GPS-denied environments, crucial for modern combat zones.
- The company's technology allows the drones to operate autonomously and return safely without communication links, contributing to enhanced European security and unmanned aerial system capabilities.
- The VTOL platform will feature UAV Navigation's algorithms for autonomous flight functions, including sense-and-avoid systems, dynamic flight replanning, and swarm capabilities, supporting complex tactical operations with safety standards.
- The consortium for the VANTAGE project includes partners like C&V Defence, CAVOK UAS, Centro de Observación y Teledetección Espacial SAU, Vegvisir, INCAS București, and M3 Systems Belgium, aiming to improve Europe's strategic autonomy and defense edge.
- UAV Navigation–Grupo Oesía, part of Grupo Oesía, specializes in high-precision GNC systems for UAVs and has been involved in major European defense programs, contributing to Europe's future defense capabilities through projects like Eurofighter EF-2000 and Eurodrone.
