One of the main advantages of the armed forces use of commercial imagery is to be able to share the information obtained with allied forces, which is not possible when classified imagery is used

Defense and Security - Satellite observation and surveillance

-

 

Defence and security applications have come to rely on satellite imagery as a crucial source of information, offering knowledge of the territory, discrete surveillance and frequent passes over any point on Earth.

 
Planning and conducting
-
Guaranteed accuracy is 16 metres for planimetry and 10 metres for altimetry
-
  • Obtain accurate, uniform, geospatial reference data for joint forces 
     
  • Quickly gain a 3D picture of the terrain 
      
  • Deliver geospatial information to plan and assess operations in the field: threat evaluation, target detection and location, and damage assessment
- -
-

When deploying coalition forces to out-of-area theatres of operation, 3D imagery provides a territory-wide geospatial reference.

Guaranteed horizontal accuracy is 16 metres in mountain areas and vertical accuracy is 10 to 30 metres, depending on slope (20% to 40%).

Operational geospatial information
-
  • Collect imagery needed to derive military geospatial information (satellite image maps, DEM) 
  • Train future image processing and analysis specialists to:
    • generate 2D and 3D map databases, satellite image maps and DEMs
    • extract data geared specifically to forces and weapon systems (targeting, georeferencing, surface and navigation features)
    • find documentation data and crisis and proliferation indicators (coverage of potential hotspots, surveillance of nations fuelling proliferation and monitoring of disarmament)
  • Produce georeferenced layers of information for command systems
-

Spot Image has helped to set up a number of mapping and geospatial intelligence centres. With all software in place and teams fully trained, the centres are now completely autonomous and providing armed forces with up-to-date maps and intelligence.

During Hurricane Ioke, the U.S. Air Force operated the Eagle Vision mobile receiving station to acquire SPOT and FORMOSAT-2 data in near-real time. It was thus able to assess damage, plan relief operations and evacuate the population.
