Planet will feed daily, global PlanetScope imagery and higher-resolution SkySat tasking into SeaVision, a web-based maritime awareness tool used by U.S. agencies and co-developed with the U.S. Navy.
The pipeline enables broad-area surveillance with the ability to zoom in on emerging risks and share insights across partner networks.
Longtime partner SynMax layers its Theia analytics to flag potential “dark vessels” that conceal or spoof AIS signals, a capability designed to uncover smuggling, illicit trans-shipments and illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. Pairing frequent revisit imagery with AI aims to turn social and commercial activity at sea into timely, actionable intelligence.
Why The Pacific
“The Indo-Pacific is one of the busiest and most strategically important regions in the world; a hub of global trade with vast waters and dense vessel activity,” said Jon Powers, Planet Federal’s vice president of global defense and intelligence.
