Drone software and autonomy platform for surveying, swarms, and custom UAV integration
SPH Engineering builds flight-control and ground-station software for commercial drones, with core products spanning mission planning (UgCS), drone-swarm choreography, and sensor integration. The tech stack is infrastructure-heavy (AWS, Docker, Terraform, Ansible) but the project list reveals a pivot toward go-to-market expansion in Asia-Pacific and partner ecosystem development—suggesting the company is shifting from pure product engineering to scaling sales and distribution channels.
Founded in 2013 in Latvia, SPH Engineering develops autonomous-vehicle software for unmanned systems (drones, ground robots, maritime vessels). The product portfolio includes UgCS (flight planning and control), SkyHub (hardware/sensor integration), Drone Show Software (swarm choreography for entertainment), and data-processing tooling for surveying workflows. The company operates a global partner and customer network across over 150 countries, serving surveying, agriculture, entertainment, and defense-adjacent use cases. Current focus is on direct customer growth and building partner ecosystems in underserved regions.
