Core offering

Sitep Italia designs, develops, manufactures, and supports MIL-grade electronic systems for naval defense forces and commercial maritime operators. Products span three categories — Navigation (military GPS, gyrocompass/INS, wind/meteo sensors), Communication (UHF MilSatCom and TVSAT phased-array antennas), and Security (MASS acoustic deterrent systems and the Vios Box electro-optical unit) — sold as customized systems with installation, acceptance testing, and through-life field support.

Product overview

Sitep Italia is a technology company specializing in defence and commercial electronic systems since 1975. The company offers three main product categories: Navigation (GPS systems, gyrocompass, and wind/meteo sensors), Communication (UHF MilSatCom antenna and TVSAT tracking antenna), and Security (MASS acoustic deterrent systems and Vios Box electro-optical systems). The core technology platform is the proprietary Vios Platform, which serves as the foundation for the Vios Box product line, providing integrated video processing, neural network-based tracking, and tri-axial stabilization capabilities. Products are designed for military and naval applications with MIL-grade specifications.

Products and services

• Military GPS System GPS-7380(V)112 MIL-grade GPS designed for naval applications featuring Precise P(Y) Positioning System (PPS) SAASM core module and multi-constellation GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) with anti-jamming and anti-spoofing capabilities, 12-channel continuous satellite tracking. Built for naval vessels operating in adverse maritime conditions.
• Military Land GPS-7380(V) MIL-grade GPS for land vehicle applications equipped with Precise P(Y) Positioning System (PPS) SAASM core module, prepared to incorporate M-Code technology, compliant with MIL standards for military land platforms.
• Military GPS System GPS-7380 GPS system designed for deployment on military vessels with compact size, state-of-the-art receivers, and an excellent human-machine interface for naval navigation.
• Wind and Meteo Sensor Wind and meteo station designed for demanding sea conditions using a force-transduction principle with solid-state technology and modular components for high reliability, easy reconfigurability, and maintainability. Hundreds of units are operational in navies worldwide.
• Gyrocompass and INS System Retrofit gyro GB-7371 and INS system built on state-of-the-art Fiber Optic Gyro (FOG) sensors. Compatible with legacy onboard systems and available as pure gyrocompasses or inertial navigators in various configurations for naval vessels.
• UHF MilSatCom Phased Array Antenna System Directional receive and transmit UHF SATCOM system for military communications with 360-degree azimuth coverage. Features dual antenna system with automatic switching when obstructions occur, and internal IMU for roll and pitch compensation, maintaining satellite alignment by compensating for ship heading and geographic position variations.
• Automatic TVSAT Tracking Antenna Compact dual-antenna TVSAT system for national and international television reception enabling DVB S1 and S2 signals from Ku-band satellites, with innovative X-Y mechanics and three-axis stabilization for maritime use.
• Multirole Acoustic Stabilized System MASS CS-524 Defense device for naval and security forces providing non-lethal deterrent actions against asymmetrical threats, combining high-intensity long-range acoustic and dazzling emissions through electro-optical payload with neural network-based tracking software. Capable of voice messages in narrow beam, loud disturbing sound, high-intensity light, and laser dazzler, with searchlight and audio/video recording for evidence.
• Light Weight (LW) MASS CS-424 High-performance light-weight multirole stabilized system for identification of potential threats using video cameras, with capability to transmit long-distance voice messages and counter threats with loud sound, high-intensity light, and laser dazzler. Designed for smaller vessels where compact, non-lethal deterrence is required.
• Vios Box Electro-optical unit enabling target detection and tracking with HD camera, thermal camera, laser range finder, and laser dazzler. Built on Sitep's proprietary GPU technology with embedded Linux-based Vios Core, neural network monitoring, and tri-axial stabilization algorithms supporting up to 4K video resolution for naval security applications.
