Strategic Intelligence: Remote Sensing (2024)
Description
Strategic Intelligence: Remote Sensing (2024)
Summary
Though the concept of remote sensing (RmS) has been a staple of military C4ISR capabilities for decades, emerging capabilities in the civilian space market and mounting concerns over geopolitical competition between great powers are driving renewed growth and investment in this sector. The commercialization of geospatial intelligence is driving greater integration between government and industrial capabilities with the emergence of ‘sensing-as-a-service’ (Saas) while rising demand for domestic capabilities continues to incentivize modernization of technologies and associated supply chains across all domains of an increasingly networked battlespace. Consequently, the collection and exploitation of RmS data have become the focus of significant investment and innovation within the defense sector and beyond as capabilities and applications continue to multiply.
The rapid emergence of the market for ‘sensing-as-a-service’ is both a testament to the innovation potential and growth of the commercial RmS firms and an indictment of the global defense sector’s lack of comparative investment in spaceborne C4ISR. Firms such as Blacks, ICEYE, Maxar Technologies, and Planet Labs have developed and fielded high-performance capabilities while relying primarily on revenue streams from civil sector government agencies and NGOs. As the market for SaaS has expanded, a growing number of international institutions such as the European Association for Remote Sensing Companies (EARSC) have emerged to facilitate growth and expand cooperation between industry and government clients. Furthermore, on-the-horizon technologies are growing in relevance as nations seek to gain competitive advantages that, in military terms, will ultimately shorten the ‘sensor-to-shooter’ event chain to make military operations more efficient and accurate.
