Space-based sensor capabilities are becoming crucial for modern militaries, providing access to critical information in challenging environments. This cooperation intends to deliver tangible value to customers by integrating ICEYE's Enhanced Situational Awareness (ISR), Long-Range Targeting, and Improved Tactical Decision Making capabilities with Saab's Command and Control Systems.
The MoU lays the foundations with the initial focus on investigating and demonstrating integration to Multi-Domain-Operations (MDO). The benefits would enable advanced space situational awareness and critical infrastructure protection capabilities, providing valuable insights for both civilian and military authorities in times of peace, grey zone, or conflict.
"It is crucial to remain one step ahead, and effective situational awareness is a key tenet of this," said Pekka Laurila, CSO and Co-founder of ICEYE. "We are bringing together cutting-edge SAR technology from ICEYE, and the finest C2 systems from Saab, to look at new and improved ways to maintain the advantage through enhanced situational awareness, leading to better surveillance and protection."
