GEOSPATIAL INTELLIGENCE

See the ground truth.
Day, night,
through cloud and cover.

Satellites are tasked the moment an indicator trips: X- and C-band SAR reads the ground through cloud, smoke and darkness, optical follows when the sky allows, and machine learning resolves the vehicles, vessels and people behind every change. Any area, watched on demand — smuggling routes, illegal mining and dark vessels surfaced, every find sealed as court-ready evidence.

01 / SAR — SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR

Radar that sees what optical can’t.

SAR images through cloud, smoke and darkness, and penetrates foliage and light cover to read the ground beneath. Change detection over repeat passes surfaces what moved; ground-disturbance and trail analysis reveal vehicle tracks, cleared paths and the human footprints leading to a contact.

ACTIVE SWEEP
ALL-WEATHER

Day, night, through cloud

X- and C-band SAR images regardless of light or weather, when optical and EO/IR are blind.

PENETRATION

Through foliage & cover

Longer wavelengths read the ground beneath tree canopy and light camouflage, exposing what hides under cover.

CHANGE DETECTION

What moved between passes

Coherent change detection over repeat passes flags new structures, vehicles, excavations and disturbed ground.

TRAIL ANALYSIS

Tracks, paths & footprints

Ground-disturbance signatures trace vehicle tracks, cleared paths and human footprints from cover to contact.

02 / TASKING & CUEING

Tip-and-cue, from indicator to image.

When a sensor trips an indicator, the platform cues the next collection automatically — optical, SAR or commercial tasking — inside budget and approval guardrails. Pass prediction from TLEs answers what is overhead and when, so the right satellite is tasked before the window closes.

03 / MACHINE LEARNING

Flag the activity — and the actors.

On-imagery and on-sensor models flag activity and change — an illegal mine opening, land being cleared, a smuggling route in use, a person moving through the frame — and resolve the vehicles, vessels and people behind it. Every detection becomes a tracked actor or object for analyst confirmation.

04 / MARITIME & RF

Dark vessels and silent emitters, found.

AIS tells you about the vessels that want to be seen. We correlate AIS with radar and electro-optical tracks to surface the dark vessels that don't broadcast — and geolocate RF emitters by bearing from multiple receivers, building a pattern of life over time.
