Conflict and security monitoring

Damage assessment, force-posture change detection and activity monitoring from open imagery. The OSINT discipline, done with method and shown in public every day in Overhead.

Sensors

Sentinel-2: 10 m optical; airfields, ports, encampments, damage footprints
Sentinel-1 SAR: change detection through cloud and blackout conditions
VIIRS: night lights; blackouts, fires, activity levels under conflict
Press-released commercial imagery: Maxar / Planet class, attributed, where operators have published it

What open imagery can honestly show

At 10 metres you do not count individual vehicles. You do see a runway cratered, a bridge dropped, a fuel depot burned, a port emptied, a pontoon crossing appear, a city go dark. Radar change detection flags disturbed ground and structural collapse through cloud that defeats optical sensors entirely. Most of what matters at the operational scale of a conflict is visible at these resolutions to an analyst who knows the baseline.

Where sub-metre detail matters, a specific hull hit at a specific pier, commercial operators frequently release press imagery, which can be used with attribution. We combine both and label every image with its source and date, because analysis that cannot show its evidence is opinion.

What the product delivers

Standing watch over named areas of interest: baseline documentation, change alerts with the triggering scenes, damage assessments after strikes, and periodic posture summaries. For ministries, delivery is secured and private. The public version of this craft runs every day in Overhead, which is deliberate: you can judge the analysis quality before you commission any of it.
