Sightec

Seed Round in 2018
Sightec develops Visual Intelligence for autonomous flights. Sightec's product suite is based on Computer Vision and AI technologies. It enables a complete camera-based visual situation awareness any time of the day or night, including navigation, ground objects detection and 3D change detection – all entirely GPS free. NavSight, Sightec’s first product release, is a visual aerial navigation system (GPS-free). NavSight uses advanced machine-vision and AI to process the drone's camera feed (RGB, thermal) and provides it with visual positioning for navigation in GPS denied areas. Sightec’s clients include governments, OEMs, integrators and service providers in a wide range of UAS applications including aerospace, public safety, security, inspection and delivery. Sightec's vision is to unleash the full potential of the autonomous flights market by augmenting (and ultimately replacing) the human pilot with a lightweight and affordable Visual Situation Awareness solution.
