Technology

Proprietary architecture.
No critical dependencies.

Sealight Technology designs and manufactures the strategic components of its UAS systems entirely in-house. A vertically integrated approach that ensures full technological sovereignty, supply chain traceability, and rapid response capability in every operational context.

The Operational Framework

Three layers. One integrated ecosystem.

Sealight does not just provide platforms. Its systemic value lies in the vertical integration of three complementary capabilities: flight, airspace management, and protection against aerial threats.

Layer 1
C-UAS · Layer 2
DefSecIntel / EIRSHIELD
UTM · Layer 3
Avision USS/UTM

Trilayer architecture: UAS (core) → C-UAS (protection layer) → UTM (airspace)

01

UAS Platforms — Remotely piloted platforms

Platforms within the Lock, Raptor, Bulk, and SEAL families. ISR, tactical, logistics, and dual-use missions. Design and manufacturing entirely in Italy, with certified European electronic and avionics components.

Layer 1Core — UAS Platforms
02

C-UAS — Protection against aerial threats

Anti-drone capability through DefSecIntel's (Estonia) EIRSHIELD system, already validated in NATO contexts. Detection, classification, and neutralization of hostile UAS in urban, infrastructure, and border scenarios.

Layer 2Protection Layer — DefSecIntel / EIRSHIELD
03

UTM — Airspace management

Integration with Avision's USS/UTM system for the secure and compliant management of operations in regulated airspace. Compatible with EASA standards and interoperable with national air traffic control infrastructure.

Layer 3Airspace — Avision UTM
Proprietary Technology

Made in Italy.
Fully controlled.

Six areas of in-house development ensure Sealight's technological independence and full traceability of every critical component. Production is centered at the Varese facility, with the R&D center in Sardinia.

Industrial 3D printing

Industrial additive manufacturing for structural components and housings. Weight-optimized geometries, on-demand production, reducing lead times from weeks to hours.

Varese — Production

Li-Ion Batteries

In-house development of high-density energy storage systems. Custom configurations for each platform, optimized for endurance, temperature, and charge cycle.

R&D Sardinia

PCB Circuits

In-house design and manufacturing of printed circuit boards for flight controllers, telemetry systems, and payload interfaces. Full traceability and no dependence on critical supply chains.

R&D Sardinia

Configurable Radio Controls

Communication links with frequencies adaptable to the operational scenario. Capability to operate in congested or contested environments, with end-to-end encryption and anti-jamming protocols.

Proprietary

Partial On-site Maintenance

Modular design enabling first-level repairs directly in the field. Reduced dependence on workshop returns and operational continuity in remote or isolated scenarios.

Design for Maintenance

NDAA / Blue UAS Compliance

Every platform is designed by design to meet NDAA and Blue UAS Cleared requirements. Hardware supply chain free of components subject to critical export restrictions to sensitive markets.

Certification
Technology Partners

A certified European ecosystem.

Sealight selects technology partners based on three criteria: European or allied origin, compliance with international security standards, and native integration with the proprietary architecture.

Primary Integration — Flight OS
Auterion
Flight OS Partner — AuterionOS / Skynode
Flight operating system based on open-core PX4, NDAA-compliant certified. AuterionOS ensures separation between the flight stack and the payload, enabling secure over-the-air updates and integration with third-party mission systems.
USA — NDAA Compliant
Electronic and Avionics Components
Certified European Components
Electronics & Avionics
Sealight platforms integrate electronic and avionics components of European manufacture, selected for operational reliability, supply chain traceability, and compliance with international export standards.
Europe — Certified
Mission System & Planning
Softhesys — DMSS
Mission Planning System
Mission management and planning system developed by Softhesys (Rome). Tactical interface for fleet management, route planning, and integration with existing C2 systems.
Italy — Rome
