Defence and Security - Satellite observation and surveillance
 |
Defence and security applications have come to rely on satellite imagery as a crucial source of information, offering knowledge of the territory, discrete surveillance and frequent passes over any point on Earth.

Operational geospatial information
 |
- Collect imagery needed to derive military geospatial information (satellite image maps, DEM)
- Train future image processing and analysis specialists to:
- generate 2D and 3D map databases, satellite image maps and DEMs
- extract data geared specifically to forces and weapon systems (targeting, georeferencing, surface and navigation features)
- find documentation data and crisis and proliferation indicators (coverage of potential hotspots, surveillance of nations fuelling proliferation and monitoring of disarmament)
- Produce georeferenced layers of information for command systems
|
Independent decision-making
 |
- Acquire the ability to analyse situations independently using the power of Earth-observing satellites free to fly anywhere over the globe
- Gain precise and reliable global information about theatres of operation rapidly, repeatedly and discreetly
- Derive information from multiple sources for stronger territorial surveillance
