About

Sphinx builds software to solve complex national security problems for America and its allies. Founded by engineers and technologists with deep experience across commercial and defense technology, we were frustrated by the outdated and insecure technology America's service members are forced to rely on. We're here to do better. Our primary focus is building modern, scalable communications tools and platforms for satellites and space based communication for both the US Government and private companies.
