Highly flexible and customizable collar system. The ultimate tool for wildlife scientists having a solution for most every study, question and species.
Efficient GPS collar which combines all basic features regarding collar programming. Smaller housing, lower weight and wireless communication.
Designed for long-term survey and survival studies. The collars generate GPS and status data and send regular updates using satellite communication.
The systems for small satellites stand out for their superior accuracy. All our devices have many years of flight experience and are involved in several projects.
VECTRONIC Aerospace was founded in 2000, since then we are settled in both sections – Wildlife Monitoring and Space Applications.
Currently our international team consists of 68 people, working together in both sections in Germany and USA.
Right now, we are involved in around 780 projects, either space missions or wildlife research projects.
Our products perform worldwide- currently in 76 countries.
We have already provided around 62.000 collars for wildlife monitoring worldwide.

Wildlife monitoring is an important tool in modern nature conservation.
With our products, migration routes and whereabouts of certain animal species can be determined and detected. These detections can be used both as basic research on the behavior of the respective animal species as well as the basis for the protection of areas important for nature conservation.
Wildlife research is full of constant challenges and new experiences. Every species and every project are different. We do not believe in “one collar for all customers”. Instead, we design each collar exclusively for your needs, to get you the best available product with the sensors you need and no additional weight or costs for equipment you don’t want.
Animal welfare is an important concern for us. Therefore, we aim to reduce the impact of the collar on the animal to a minimum. Our collars are designed to be compact, with round edges and as little external parts as possible. Our belting is designed to be smooth and to not irritate the animal. We constantly work on energy efficiency to allow the researcher to obtain the same amount of positions with a lighter collar.
Each collar is handmade to your special requirements. Quality and sturdiness of the collar, as well as convenience for the animal are our highest aims. We offer a two-year warranty on electronic failure to make sure you are satisfied with our service.
As a dedicated team of engineers and biologists we are constantly learning, so our collars get better and better. This is possible because we sit down with our customers and project partners to discuss needs, ideas and hands-on experiences.
