About

Sightec is an Israeli drone-autonomy company focused on visual navigation rather than airframe manufacturing. Its core product family, marketed as NavSight, is designed to let existing UAV platforms understand what they see and respond in real time using onboard imagery. The company's public positioning emphasizes software-first deployment, where operators can upgrade current fleets instead of redesigning them from scratch. The underlying technology is centered on computer vision, AI inference, and real-time situational awareness. Sightec says its systems deliver GNSS-free visual navigation day and night, and that they remain useful under jamming, spoofing, and GPS-denied conditions. Sightec's clients include governments, OEMs, system integrators, and service providers, with use cases spanning aerospace and defense, homeland security, security, and delivery.
