Space Informed Security for a New Age
The real-time and continuous nature of location-based knowledge from satellites empowers decision makers to stay up to date in their regions of interest, and to make informed decisions when needed. Additionally, space-based monitoring for security has a huge advantage over other monitoring techniques as intelligence can easily be acquired for large areas anywhere on Earth in one go.
Satellite-based communication provides further security assurances with reliable means of communication as it covers areas otherwise not covered by traditional telecommunications infrastructure or areas where infrastructure has been damaged. Advances in quantum and AI technologies also contribute to the possibilities of space in this new age: creating more secure communication channels and enabling faster, better processing of Earth Observation imagery to recognize patterns and identify objects or areas of interest
Earth Observation imagery and GNSS position tracking of shipments can be used to monitor supply chain statuses and allow for interventions when needed to ensure continuous availability of essential goods and resources.
Satellite data acquired over large areas with high spatial detail and frequency provides invaluable information to prepare for disaster, including early warnings as changes are tracked. Furthermore, satellite data allows responsible groups to respond more effectively during and post disaster as impacted areas are rapidly identified.
Satellite-based Automatic Identification System (AIS) and Earth Observation imagery aid in the detection of "dark ships" that are used to carry out illegal activities.
Space assets may contribute to monitoring a nation’s borders to detect threats or weaknesses; this intelligence application is particularly relevant to maritime borders.
