HYFIX (HYFIX Spatial Intelligence) is a Santa Clara semiconductor startup building an American-made autonomous systems chip that fuses high-precision GNSS positioning, inertial sensing, flight control, encrypted communications and onboard AI into a single system-on-chip. Emerging from the GEODNET decentralized positioning network, HYFIX aims to give U.S. drone and robotics makers a domestic alternative to Chinese-dominated supply chains, with centimeter-accurate location that resists jamming and spoofing.
