SkyFi and SATIM's Groundbreaking Partnership in SAR-Based Maritime Surveillance

Defense News ,U.S :- In a groundbreaking collaboration, SkyFi has joined forces with SATIM to introduce advanced vessel detection and classification capabilities to the SkyFi platform. SATIM, a pioneer in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology since its establishment in 2012, brings its expertise in near real-time, 90% accurate classification and detection of objects to SkyFi's analytical offerings. This integration, fueled by SAR data from Umbra, a key partner, enhances maritime surveillance, ensuring safety and operational efficiency in global maritime activities.

SATIM's innovative approach to AI-based object detection and classification on satellite SAR imagery marks a significant leap forward in remote monitoring and surveillance. The partnership aims to address complex challenges in the maritime domain, offering a comprehensive solution for monitoring commercial vessels, preventing illegal activities, and optimizing maritime logistics.

Jacek Strzelczyk, CEO of SATIM, emphasized the importance of the collaboration, stating, "SkyFi solves a very important and complex problem of getting efficient access to satellite-based data, while SATIM’s software enables the translation of that data to information. This joint offer will definitely help a wider audience to start utilizing SAR imagery, which can be acquired by satellites regardless of the night or day time and the cloud coverage, but is very complex to interpret. SATIM’s AI makes it simple to extract insights quickly and accurately."

The integration of SATIM's specialized knowledge into the SkyFi platform represents a new standard in maritime surveillance. Luke Fischer, Cofounder and CEO of SkyFi, highlighted the significance of this collaboration, stating, "This collaboration significantly improves our users’ capacity for tracking vessels across the globe from just their phone or a computer."

SAR technology, known for its ability to penetrate weather conditions and provide imagery both day and night, is indispensable for continuous maritime surveillance. The integration of this technology into SkyFi's platform enables users to perform detailed analyses of maritime traffic, detect illegal activities, and monitor port operations.

What sets SkyFi's platform apart is its user-friendly interface, making advanced data analytics accessible to a broad, global audience. Users can now purchase SAR data from Umbra and leverage SATIM’s detection technology for comprehensive vessel monitoring, all within a single, integrated environment.

The partnership between SkyFi and SATIM aligns with their shared commitment to improving the monitoring of maritime activities, safeguarding against illegal activities, and promoting environmental protection. By combining SkyFi’s platform capabilities with SATIM’s innovative AI-based SAR imagery analysis, the collaboration is poised to revolutionize the landscape of maritime surveillance. This synergy not only enhances operational efficiency but also contributes to a safer and more secure maritime environment on a global scale.
