Sightec Announces Over 3,000+ Battle-Proven Deployments of Its GPS-Free Visual Navigation Technology
Sightec, a leader in software-first visual navigation and autonomy for unmanned aerial systems (UAS), announced today that its solutions have surpassed 3,000 real-world, battle-proven deployments in the past year. The systems are actively supporting defense and security forces operating in GPS-denied, jammed, spoofed, and signal-contested environments, enabling resilient flight and reliable positioning in the field.
Built to upgrade existing drones rather than redesign them, Sightec’s NavSight platform provides GPS-free navigation and object positioning using the platform’s built-in camera, or a lightweight add-on when required. This allows operators to focus on the mission, not on flying the drone, while maintaining stability and situational awareness day or night, and in complex or contested environments.
The deployments span:
-
Small tactical quadcopters
-
Fixed-wing and VTOL systems
-
Reconnaissance, targeting support, and live situational awareness missions
-
Adverse visibility and GPS-contested battle zones
Sightec’s architecture supports a scalable autonomy path- from operator-assisted flight to mission-guided navigation, and ultimately full autonomous behavior when required. This flexibility allows forces to adapt autonomy levels to operational tempo, training, and risk environment.
Today, UAS manufacturers, defense integrators, and national security agencies are adopting Sightec to enhance resilience, survivability, and operational tempo without redesigning their platforms or adding heavy, power-consuming hardware.
