Applications

8.1.1 Border Activity Detection — Persistent satellite surveillance of national border zones using SAR, optical, and RF payloads to detect, classify, and cue response to anomalous activity.
8.1.2 Cross-Border Incursion Alerts — Detecting and geolocating unauthorised cross-border movements in near-real-time by fusing satellite SAR, multispectral imagery and RF emissions data.
8.1.3 Migration Flow Mapping — Tracking the movement, scale and direction of large migrant populations across remote and contested border zones using multispectral optical and SAR satellite imagery fused with RF analytics.
8.1.4 Border Wall & Fence Integrity Monitoring — Using high-resolution satellite optical and SAR imagery to detect breaches, damage, and structural degradation along physical border barriers before ground patrols can respond.
8.1.5 Remote Crossing Surveillance — Continuous satellite-based monitoring of unmanned border segments where terrain, distance, or threat level makes ground patrol impractical or dangerous.
