Maxar Technologies, a provider of comprehensive space solutions and secure, precise, geospatial intelligence, and Umbra, a technology company, announced an agreement to provide Maxar with dedicated capacity from satellites in Umbra\u2019s synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery constellation, making that data available in Maxar\u2019s portfolio of Earth Intelligence products and services.<\/p>\n
The combined offering, which is expected to be available starting in Q2 2023 and be fully integrated by 2024, will represent the most advanced multisource geospatial intelligence solution for a wide range of government and commercial missions. Maxar will provide customers with assured access to the highest resolution commercially available Earth observation data taken day and night and in all weather conditions. This capability will also augment the high-revisit capabilities of WorldView Legion, Maxar\u2019s next-generation satellite constellation, enabling customers to see the change in near real time.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaxar and Umbra are breaking new ground for the geospatial intelligence industry with this multisource offering\u2014though optical and SAR imagery are highly complementary, collection management across these sources has historically been siloed,\u201d said Dan Jablonsky, Maxar\u2019s President and Chief Executive Officer. \u201cBy integrating dedicated capacity from Umbra satellites into our secure ground infrastructure, we can help our Access customers derive real-time insights from the highest resolution electro-optical and SAR data in the industry. Once combined with Maxar\u2019s best-in-class geospatial analytics capabilities, this data will help customers more easily achieve mission success, particularly for defense missions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maxar and Umbra have complementary capabilities that enable the delivery of the most advanced commercially available SAR data. Umbra\u2019s SAR satellites can see through clouds, smoke, and total darkness with an industry-leading resolution, licensed down to 13 cm. Maxar will leverage decades of SAR processing expertise, as well as its own high-resolution optical imagery and 3D datasets, to further enhance the original SAR data and deliver more actionable insights.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are thrilled to partner with Maxar and integrate our industry-leading SAR data into their platform. Maxar is a world-renowned Earth Intelligence provider, so for Umbra to be chosen as their first ever SAR dedicated access partner is a huge vote of confidence both for Umbra and for the overall value that SAR data brings to customers,\u201d said David Langan, Umbra\u2019s Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis agreement will energize commercial SAR utilization worldwide and will support Umbra\u2019s ambitions of building and growing a robust commercial business case,\u201d said Gabe Dominocielo, Umbra\u2019s Co-Founder and President.<\/p>\n
Umbra\u2019s SAR data will first be integrated into Maxar\u2019s Rapid Access Program (RAP) platform, which provides customers with a secure web interface to virtually task Maxar\u2019s high-resolution satellites through on-demand access windows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
