ICEYE, the global leader in persistent monitoring with radar satellite imaging, is partnering with BAE Systems to provide advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology as part of BAE Systems’ new multi-sensor satellite cluster launching in 2024. Known as Azalea™, this group of Earth sensing satellites will use a range of instruments to collect visual, radar, and radio frequency (RF) data and use on-board machine learning and edge processing to analyze and quickly deliver the resulting intelligence to tactical or strategic users anywhere in the world –directly from low earth orbit. The Azalea™ cluster will contain four satellites that between them deliver SAR, optical, RF signals, and analysis. The cluster will provide high assurance security and resilience through inter-craft space links and allow for the simultaneous execution of multiple customer applications through a fully re-configurable system.
