Shift5

Shift5 is a technology company that builds an operational intelligence platform for defense and transportation systems. It turns hidden data from vehicles and fleets into insights on performance and cyber risk. Its customers include commercial aviation, rail and defense.

The site lists four solution areas. Cyber and electronic warfare tools study serial bus and radio frequency data to flag threats in near real time. Predictive maintenance turns serial bus data into maintenance insights. Fleet compliance processes security log files from commercial aircraft to find incidents and check aviation rules. A research service offers security assessments and special tools.

The company recently launched RF enabled GPS threat detection. It gives early warning of GPS threats up to 200 nautical miles away and is plug and play. The platform also covers systems such as engines, fuel, radar, communications and flight data links.

Shift5 says it was founded in 2019 by former U.S. Army Cyber Command officers. It states that it has more than 100 full time employees across five time zones and 185 million dollars in venture funding. Fast Company named it one of the most innovative companies of 2026.

The site names partners and supporters such as Carahsoft, Booz Allen and Boeing. A contact form handles general inquiries, meeting requests and demo requests, and a careers page is listed. Aviation is one of several markets the company serves.
