Recent developments in the geopolitical arena surrounding Ukraine, Russia, and NATO have drawn the attention of intelligence analysts and companies providing assessments of the latest Russian military movements in the context of a potential escalation. Because the conflict has been going on since 2014, there are many well-known locations used as staging areas for the […]

What we learned from the invasion There is no disputing that the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing war present an excellent example of the importance of continuous and accurate intelligence gathering. It is clear from a report published by SpaceKnow just days before the invasion that satellite imagery played a key role in […]

While SAR data are extremely useful for highly skilled defense & intelligence analysts, SpaceKnow cutting edge development and deployment of AI/ML algorithms enables full automation of the imagery analytics process, finally unlocking this state-of-the-art technology to the wider market.

With high tensions and the whole world watching the Russia-Ukraine border last month, we decided to apply our machine learning algorithms to analyze the assets at the Morozovsk Air Base located nearby. Our aim was to detect and evaluate any unusual activity, compared to previous years.

Our team has developed AI/ML algorithms designed to precisely classify military equipment on the ground using high-resolution satellite imagery. We analyzed Yelizovo Air Force Base and Avacha Bay to see if we could validate what was reported by the press.

This webinar addressed cleanup site monitoring and inspection needs, the value of using satellite imagery analytics to meet these needs, and the technical details of using various types of imagery, analytical methodologies, and change detection reports.The expert panel discussed: Types, frequency, and resolution of satellite imagery Monitoring construction, encroachment, erosion of cap material, urban development, […]

Remote Sensing Technologies are being used to determine the physical properties of land and what it is used for. Deforestation/reforestation, illegal logging, safety of critical infrastructure like power lines and railway lines, and vegetation health are among the many use cases for this technology. Our Chief Scientist, Michal Reinstein, describes SpaceKnow solution in this blog.

In late July, a cargo ship called MV Wakashio ran aground south of Mauritius, causing the biggest ecological disaster ever faced in the Indian Ocean. In this article, we use our proprietary Change Detection algorithms to analyze the crisis from space.

“Climate change remains the single greatest threat to the livelihoods, security and wellbeing of the peoples of the Pacific,” according to the Boe Declaration of the 18 countries at the 49th Pacific Islands Forum in September 2018. It’s not only carbon emissions like methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) that disturb the atmosphere and threaten climate change, […]

Increasing ocean vitality vulnerability led SpaceKnow to investigate artificial islands across the globe where the impact of trash has severely affected the ecosystem. We tracked ship activity as well as the progression of urbanization. See how the activity of ships around artificial landfills is tracked and detected by SpaceKnow analytics.

The recent droughts have had a severe impact on urban vegetation in the European Union. SpaceKnow recently examined the drought in Germany, revealing changes in vegetative health and yield in cities.
