About

About SYPAQ Systems

Founded in Victoria in 1992, SYPAQ is a diversified engineering and systems-integration company serving defence, government and enterprise customers. Its wider work spans C5 systems, airborne sensing, cyber, software and advanced manufacturing, so the autonomous-systems portfolio is one operating line within a broader technology group.

The Corvo programme brings aircraft design, payload integration, flight testing and sustainment together in Australia. Corvo X entered Australian Army service through DEF129 with a multi-year support programme, while Corvo Strike extends the family into counter-UAS interception. SYPAQ also integrates third-party sensing, including Teledyne FLIR thermal imaging, into mission-specific payloads.
