UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía and EOS Technologie have strengthened their collaboration to integrate advanced capabilities for Counter-UAS (C-UAS) missions, focusing on high-performance interceptor platforms for modern defense scenarios.
This partnership brings together the guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) systems of UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía with the high-speed unmanned aerial systems developed by EOS Technologie, such as the VELOCE-330 platform. By embedding specialized autopilots into these platforms, the collaboration enables fully autonomous interception missions that span from initial target approach to terminal engagement.
Rather than predicting target trajectories using traditional methods, the integrated system continuously adapts the flight path of the interceptor in real time. Managing fast and maneuvering targets requires high-dynamic performance, extensive onboard autonomy, and a control system capable of operating under uncertainty with minimal response time across the entire engagement chain. The GNC system acts as the central enabler within this framework, translating incoming sensor data into decisive flight actions.
To ensure precision, the architecture integrates artificial intelligence for visual data processing during target detection and tracking. This framework remains completely agnostic to the specific optical systems or seekers utilized. When combined with inertial navigation, multi-sensor fusion, and AI-based visual navigation, the system maintains accurate positioning and mission continuity even when subjected to electronic jamming or spoofing. Advanced optical terminal guidance and high-dynamic trajectory control further secure successful engagement in demanding operational environments.
Beyond individual engagements, the autopilot technology supports coordinated multi-platform operations. Swarm-ready guidance and distributed engagement concepts are integrated into the solution to counter saturation scenarios involving multiple simultaneous aerial threats.
This initiative strengthens European industrial cooperation in the defense sector by uniting complementary technologies from Spain and France. Ultimately, the joint effort provides allied nations with improved technological sovereignty, operational independence, and defense resilience.
