Beyond GPS

Predictive Inertial Navigation Powered by Machine Learning.

Reliable navigation where GPS fails — even in contested, jammed, or GPS-denied environments.

Vectra is a next-generation navigation technology that reconstructs a GPS-equivalent signal using onboard inertial sensors, flight-control inputs, and an embedded AI model. Designed for defense-grade unmanned systems requiring resilient positioning.

Drones fail when satellites disappear.

Modern unmanned systems rely almost entirely on GNSS. In contested environments, this becomes a single point of failure.

• Jamming and spoofing are increasing across defense operations
• Urban canyons, tunnels, and enclosed spaces degrade signal quality
• GNSS outages compromise mission continuity
• Conventional inertial systems drift too quickly to remain operational

When GPS fails, drones lose navigation, stability, and mission capability**.**

Vectra exists to close this gap.

A plug-in module that emulates GPS — without satellites.

Vectra is a compact hardware add-on containing:

• High-grade onboard IMUs (accel + gyro)
• Local compute module running the AI model
• Standard GPS-interface output, compatible with existing flight controllers
• Plug-and-play integration, FC-agnostic

AI-driven predictive inertial navigation

Vectra’s machine-learning model analyzes:

• IMU motion signatures
• Steering and thrust inputs
• Flight dynamics patterns
• Environmental motion trends

It then reconstructs a GPS-equivalent position signal, which can be fed directly into any flight controller using standard protocols.

Operates when GNSS is jammed, spoofed, or unavailable.

Vectra is not designed to replace satellite navigation.

It is engineered to bridge the gap during outages with near-GPS-level performance.

• Up to ~30 minutes of reliable GPS-denied navigation
• Target accuracy: comparable to conventional GPS (±2.5–3 m)
• Fully onboard processing → unaffected by radio interference
• Maintains mission continuity during GNSS disruption
• Enhances operational safety and resilience

How it works

Traditional inertial navigation drifts because errors accumulate.

Vectra uses AI to predict motion patterns and correct that drift in real time.

• Thousands of flight sequences used during training
• Learns motion
• Generates a stable positioning estimate
• Outputs data through standard GPS pins

Early-stage development

Vectra is currently in active prototype development.

The goal is to achieve performance on par with standard GNSS in typical drone operations.

The system is engineered for short-term GPS-denied missions, not infinite inertial navigation.

Vectra is building the future of resilient drone navigation.
