About the Company

Sine Engineering

GPS-denied, spectrum-resilient UAV connectivity solutions

Sine Engineering provides resilient connectivity solutions for unmanned aerial vehicles in GPS-denied and spectrum-challenged environments, aiming to keep drones controllable and connected in harsh conditions. Its products combine software-first capabilities with modular hardware that can be upgraded via over-the-air updates and easily replaced in production lines. The company differentiates itself by focusing on affordability and mass production, building on counter-UAS experience and serving multiple UAV manufacturers rather than end-user drones. Its goal is to enable widespread, low-cost deployment of capable drones in defense and aerospace, even when signals are limited or jammed.
