We are Sentiq

Based in Bordighera, on Italy’s Mediterranean coast, Sentiq Defence brings together operational experience, proven technologies and integration expertise to deliver mission-ready maritime capabilities for Italian, European and international defence and security.

Our company

Operational understanding. Technical capability.

Sentiq Defence is an Italian defence technology company specialising in the integration of marine autonomous platforms, sensors and payloads.

Our approach begins with the operational requirement. We understand the mission, the environment and the effect we need to achieve before defining the technology to deliver it. That operational perspective allows us to bring together proven systems from specialist technology partners and integrate them into coherent, deployable capabilities.

Our difference

From requirement to operational effect.

Sentiq combines operational insight, systems knowledge and an international technology ecosystem to identify, integrate and support the right solution for each mission.

This enables naval and security organisations to access advanced capability without the constraints of a single platform, manufacturer or technology architecture.

Where required, we support sovereign capability through local integration, knowledge transfer, training and long-term support.

Mission-led

We start with your operational objective and work towards shaping the required capability.

Technology-agnostic

We select and integrate COTS technologies according to the mission requirement - not a predetermined platform or product.

Integration-focused

We engineer platforms, payloads, sensors, communications and mission systems to operate as one capability.
Our experience

Defence experience at the core.

Sentiq is built on decades of first-hand experience in Italian naval operations, NATO environments, maritime security and defence capability development.

That background shapes how we engage with naval forces: understanding operational constraints, interoperability requirements, deployment environments and the practical realities of introducing industrial technology into service.

It also enables us to act as the bridge between innovative technology companies and forces that need capability delivered at tempo.
