ICEYE, the global leader in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite operations for high-fidelity Earth Observation, and SATIM, a world-leading provider of AI-based solutions for Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) on SAR imagery, has announced the signing of partnership agreement for joint product development.
The companies will combine ICEYE’s industry-leading satellite imagery with SATIM’s cutting-edge AI-powered imagery analytics solutions into new products enabling prompt, high-confidence detection and classification of vessels, aircraft, and land vehicles.
After an initial pilot phase, the partners plan to release a series of generally-available products in 2025.
ICEYE operates the largest SAR satellite network, delivering 25 cm high-resolution imagery of any location, regardless of weather or lighting conditions. Its satellites offer the highest industry resolution, cover up to 84,000 km² per scene, and provide hourly revisit rates (see Price & Coverage for Satellites & Space Flight).
Since 2018, ICEYE has launched 44 satellites for its operations and customers. It plans to deploy over 20 new satellites annually in 2025, 2026, and beyond.
SATIM specializes in AI-driven Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) using SAR imagery. Its three AI-based solutions enable rapid, precise detection, classification, and identification of objects worldwide.
