Is Vector a flight controller or autopilot?

No. Vector plans the mission: where the team goes, where the drone launches, the flight route, and what the weather, terrain and airspace allow. It does not fly the drone or upload a route to it.

Which countries does it cover?

The map, weather, terrain and airspace from openAIP cover the whole world, and country-specific map layers are in development. Official national drone zones cover Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Luxembourg and the US. NOTAMs and road closures are in Vector for Latvia only.

Where is the data stored?

Accounts and missions are stored in the EU, in Ireland. For sensitive work, Private Deployment (part of Command) runs Vector on your own servers.

Vector, a UAV mission planner for the whole team

Last updated 22 October 2026

Vector (onvector.eu) is a mission planning web app for drone and ground teams. The whole team plans on the same map at the same time, in 2D or 3D. Terrain, weather by altitude and airspace are on that map, so the plan is checked while it is drawn. The finished plan goes to every phone in the field and keeps working with no signal. Vector is made in Latvia by SIA Grid North.

Who it is for

Teams that plan a mission together: a lead, drone pilots, and the people who drive and walk to the launch site. Operators have used it to plan reconnaissance together in exercises, and it works for any team that plans drone flights over real terrain.

What a plan in Vector holds

A mission is one shared map with everything the team needs to agree on:

Bases, vehicle drop-off points, launch and landing sites, pilot positions, observation posts and targets.
Vehicle and foot approach and withdrawal routes, and flight routes with altitude.
Zones, control measures and a reference grid with named cells.
Orders beside the map: task, intent and H-hour, with FRAGO, SITREP, 5W and SALUTE reports written in the mission.
Time: objects can have a time window, and the time bar plays the mission hour by hour.

Checks while you plan

Vector answers the questions a drone plan depends on, on the map, for the planned hour:

Weather and wind by altitude, with a go/no-go for the flight window.
Airspace: airspace worldwide from openAIP, plus official national drone zones for Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Luxembourg and the US. Current NOTAMs for Latvia.
Line of sight between two points and viewshed up to 15 km.
Driving and march time along a route.
Sun and moon position, with first and last light.

Maps

Satellite, topographic and street maps worldwide, 3D terrain, dated satellite images and two maps side by side. Country-specific map layers are in development. Your own GeoTIFF files and photos of paper maps can be laid over the map.

Working with other tools

A mission can link to your own TAK Server and sync both ways with ATAK. Plans import and export as KML, and export as GeoJSON. Your own software reads and writes missions through a REST API, and AI assistants work with the plan through MCP.

Price

Free costs nothing. Pro is EUR 6 per user a month, or EUR 60 a year, and every new account gets 14 days of Pro. Command is for whole organisations, by contract.
