The Problem This Solution Solves
DoD has a critical need for improved, large scale, situational awareness satisfied by less expensive, day/night, all-weather imaging satellites capable of filling gaps in space-based reconnaissance. This capability should facilitate timely analysis of emergent threats; allowing the Joint Force to deploy the right capability for a given situation, flex and adapt to the threat, respond to the situation and be unpredictable across an increasingly contested space environment.
The Solution
Orbital Insight successfully leveraged an existing body of work in ingesting satellite imagery, developing advanced computer vision algorithms to process satellite imagery, and applying data science techniques and principles to prototype the large-scale ingestion and automated analysis of Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery, data management for Disaster Response algorithmic flow, Maritime Domain Awareness for dark-ship tracking, a Project Datahub for Joint Partners, and Aircraft Detection and Extraction for detecting aircraft using satellite derived information.
