North Vector Dynamics is a Calgary defence-technology company developing counter-drone systems, aerial targets and advanced aeropropulsion research. Its near-term portfolio separates three roles: CM-70 is its initial commercial short-range interceptor; CI-60 is an electric interceptor intended for small-drone threats; and CI-60 Target is a distinct programmable aircraft for air-defence and counter-UAS training. These share an industrial context but have different configurations and published performance figures. The current CM-70 product page describes a 3 kg, 0.9 m interceptor with semi-active laser guidance and ground, vehicle or airborne launch options. CI-60 uses an electric lifting-body configuration with onboard AI and near-infrared guidance, while the Target variant is programmed through a ground-control station. These are manufacturer-described offerings. Government evidence adds a separate SHIELD–Scalable Air Defence entry, naming North Vector teamed with CMP in the 2026 Counter-UAS Sandbox, without establishing how that configuration relates to the company's other products. North Vector's Advanced Systems work addresses propulsion, hypersonic-flight environments and future interception technologies. A DRDC engineering-services contract supports this research direction. The company's industrial plans also draw on investments from CSG, NordSpace Ventures and Tech Horizons. Its August 2026 announcement states that Canadian intellectual property and design and engineering authority are retained in Canada following CSG's minority investment.
