CM-70 is North Vector's initial commercial counter-UAS interceptor, intended for short-range Group I–III drone threats and integration into layered air defence. The current manufacturer page specifies 3 kg mass, 0.9 m length, 3.5 km range and 900 km/h speed. It describes semi-active laser guidance and ground, vehicle or airborne launch options.
Those figures should be kept together as the current published configuration. Earlier interview descriptions used different dimensions, mass and speed and do not establish performance for the same build. North Vector's August 2026 announcement identifies the commercial product and credits DRDC support; the published material does not disclose a quantitative configuration-specific test report, accepted delivery quantity or production lead time.

Use & integration
Recorded applications
Short-range interception of Group I-III drone threats
Critical-infrastructure and frontline-position protection
Ground, vehicle, or airborne counter-UAS deployment
Integration into allied counter-UAS systems
These describe the reviewed application scope, not confirmed deployments, released requirements or procurement eligibility.
Evidence of maturity
Identified as North Vector's initial commercial product in August 2026, with DRDC funding and testing support acknowledged. The company's broader TRL statement does not establish a CM-70-specific rating or independently observed performance for the current configuration.
Commercial availability
Announced as an initial commercial product in August 2026. The reviewed material does not state delivery quantities, production lead times or unit prices; these should be established against the offered configuration.
