About company
Sphinx Defense

Satellites may orbit above, but mission success starts on the ground. Secure, reliable data flow between terrestrial systems and space assets is more critical than ever.

Sphinx Defense develops high performing software that ensures command, control, and communications happen exactly when—and how—they should.

Sphinx was founded by a team of highly experienced software engineers who recognized that conventional approaches weren’t keeping up with the complexity or urgency of modern satellite operations. Manual processes and siloed systems are no longer viable.

At Sphinx, we challenge entrenched norms and ask the hard questions—paving the way for more efficient workflows and more effective solutions.

At Sphinx, we develop custom software solutions and license proprietary platforms that enable faster, smarter, and more secure satellite operations and ground data transport, supporting government and commercial teams as they tackle high-stakes missions where timing, focus, and performance are everything.
