Sightec

Smart Airports

Sightec, a Tel Aviv company, makes NavSight, software that lets drones navigate from their own camera when GPS is jammed or spoofed.

Founded in 2017 with about 22 staff, it also sells TerraSight and SafeSight. It reports more than 4,000 installations, mostly with defence and security customers it does not name. Its last verified funding was a 2 million US dollar seed in 2019.

Sightec is profiled in the companies register, but no deployment has been verified against published evidence. Records are added as evidence is reviewed and graded.

Products & Solutions

3 products

NavSight

Software-based GPS-free visual navigation and positioning system for unmanned aerial systems. Uses AI and computer vision to process real-time onboard camera feeds, enabling drones to navigate and maintain positional awareness without GNSS in jammed, spoofed, or GPS-denied environments, day or night.

The problem it addresses

Prevents UAS mission failure or crashes caused by GPS loss, jamming, or spoofing in contested or denied-GNSS environments. Enables drones to navigate autonomously without reliance on satellite signals.

Key features
  • Real-time GNSS-free visual navigation using onboard cameras
  • Day and night operation
  • Software-only integration via APIs and MAVLink, no hardware or airframe changes required
  • Four deployment configurations: software, full payload, sensor module, and ground unit
5 more features
  • Scalable from small tactical quadcopters to fixed-wing and VTOL platforms
  • Continuous AI-driven capability upgrades post-deployment
  • Object positioning and targeting support
  • Resilient to jamming, spoofing, and urban canyon environments
  • Thermal sensor support for day/night navigation (demonstrated 2026)
Technical specifications (6)
  • Integration: MAVLink / API-based software interface
  • Sensor support: RGB camera, thermal imager
  • Compute: Compatible with existing onboard processors or dedicated NavSight compute module
  • Platform support: Small quadcopters, fixed-wing, VTOL, high-altitude platforms
  • Operation: Autonomous navigation and positioning without GNSS
  • Deployments: 3,000+ worldwide as of December 2025

SafeSight

Real-time aerial analytics and intelligence software for security and first responder UAS applications. Processes live drone video streams to generate automated object detection, classification, and tracking alerts with AI accuracy, supporting homeland security and emergency response missions.

The problem it addresses

Converts passive drone video feeds into actionable real-time intelligence for security operators and first responders, replacing manual video monitoring with automated AI-based detection and alert generation.

Key features
  • Real-time object detection and tracking using RGB and thermal imagery
  • Automated analytics and alert generation from live video streams
  • AI-based classification accuracy exceeding human monitoring
  • No costly hardware upgrades required, software-only deployment
3 more features
  • Compatible with off-the-shelf drones and customized UAV platforms
  • Multi-rotor, single-rotor, and fixed-wing platform support
  • Day and night operational capability via thermal imaging
Technical specifications (4)
  • Camera support: RGB and thermal imager
  • Platform types: Multi-rotor UAV, single-rotor UAV, fixed-wing UAV, drone-integrated cameras
  • Integration: Lightweight software running on existing onboard processors
  • Reference design provided by Sightec for OEM integrations

TerraSight

Vision-based autonomous landing software for UAS operating in GPS-denied environments. Uses computer vision to enable precise, safe landings from takeoff to touchdown without reliance on GNSS, including emergency landing scenarios in contested or GPS-denied areas.

The problem it addresses

Closes the gap in autonomous drone operations by enabling safe and accurate landing without GPS, addressing the critical final phase of flight that remains vulnerable even when GPS-free navigation is otherwise available.

Key features
  • Vision-based precise landing without GNSS
  • Safe landing capability in GPS-denied and contested environments
  • Emergency landing mode
  • Autonomous operation from takeoff to landing
1 more feature
  • Continuous protection of drone, payload, and surroundings during landing
Product documentation

Profile data from the Aerostack companies register; deployment records from the verified register. Evidence grades: T1 first-party confirmation, T2 credible reporting. See Our approach for how records are graded.

Aerostack tracks AI deployments across airports and airlines, with the published evidence behind each record. Photography is real aviation imagery. Record thumbnails may show the named airport or airline; other photographs do not.
