Leveraging Optical, Radar, and Elevation for Defense Purposes
The Geospatial World Forum will highlight the critical role of geospatial technologies in defense and intelligence applications. On May 15th, at 4 PM, during the Defense and Intelligence Summit, Martin Pentier, Airbus Sales Manager, will present OneAtlas. This geospatial platform provides seamless access to very-high resolution optical imagery ranging from 30 cm to 1.5 m resolution. Pentier will also introduce Airbus' new Basemap service and discuss the radar archive and tasking service, which offers data with resolutions ranging from 25 cm to 40 m.
Enhancing Decision-Making with Advanced Geospatial Solutions
In the contemporary world, timely and accurate information is paramount. Airbus supports its customers by providing geospatial technologies that enhance planning and response to challenges and missions with greater speed and certainty. The company's capabilities are showcased through the Pléiades Neo satellites, which represent a significant advancement in Earth observation. These satellites, exclusively financed, manufactured, owned, and managed by Airbus, have set a new benchmark in remote sensing for commercial, institutional, and governmental users.
The Pléiades Neo Constellation: A Leap Forward in Earth Observation
The Pléiades Neo constellation consists of two identical satellites, each offering an impressive 30 cm resolution. This very-high resolution capability revolutionizes Earth observation by enabling rapid tasking and the ability to revisit any point on Earth at least daily. Collectively, the satellites contribute approximately 1,00,000 km² of imagery to Airbus' repository daily, making vast amounts of data accessible through the OneAtlas digital platform. This platform provides immediate access to both fresh and archived data, complemented by powerful analytics tools.
Cutting-Edge Technology and Rapid Response: This rapid response capability is crucial for applications requiring immediate data, such as disaster management and military operations. The very-high resolution imagery from Pléiades Neo offers an unprecedented level of detail, enhancing image analysis for human experts and machine learning algorithms alike. This detail improves object recognition and provides a wealth of information for diverse applications.
Comprehensive Applications and Unmatched Data Quality: The Pléiades Neo constellation excels in geolocation accuracy and spectral band information, facilitating a wide range of applications. The satellites are instrumental in risk analysis and damage assessment for natural hazards, offering unmatched data quality and frequent updates. These capabilities underline the pivotal role of Pléiades Neo in reshaping Earth observation-based services, addressing the needs of an information-driven world.
