Sine Engineering

Sine Engineering is a Ukrainian company that builds a communication and positioning platform for UAVs flying in contested environments. Its products help drones keep working where signals are jammed or GPS is unavailable.

The company started in 2022 as a counter-UAS team. Its engineers saw that reliable connectivity is the most important part of drone operations and also the most exposed. They also saw that GPS-denied, spectrum-contested areas are becoming normal. So the company decided to build its own solutions, and it says it has a deep understanding of electronic warfare.

Data links with jamming resilience are one core product. They use Jamming Detect and Avoid and Smart FHSS to keep a link alive when someone is trying to block it.

Non-GPS positioning gives drones a satellite-free way to know where they are. It works with existing autopilots, so operators do not need to replace their flight systems.

The platform is built for mass control and for swarms. It lets operators control several drones at the same time, with smart coordination between them and a network that holds up under pressure.

Sine designs for small drones and for scale. Its solutions are affordable enough to produce in large numbers. The company points to recent conflicts, where small uncrewed aerial systems have had a decisive impact, and says that quantity will matter in the next ones.

The products are software-first. This allows quick changes, over-the-air updates and replaceable modules that carry upgrades. More than 100 UAV manufacturers use Sine solutions so that their drones can work in extreme areas.
