Remote Sensing in Defense – Thematic Intelligence
Remote Sensing in Defense Thematic Intelligence Report Overview
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 emergence of the ‘sensing-as-a-service’ market is a testament to the innovation potential and growth of the commercial RmS firms. It is also indicates the global defense sector’s lack of comparative investment in spaceborne C4ISR technologies. 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 non-governmental organizations.
As the market for SaaS has expanded, a growing number of international RmS institutions such as the European Association for Remote Sensing Companies (EARSC have emerged to facilitate growth and expand cooperation between industry and government clients in specific markets.
The remote sensing in defense thematic intelligence report provides emerging technological trends and their broader impact on the defense market. Moreover, it offers an analysis of the defense-related remote sensing projects currently under development, as well as cross-industry research initiatives which could impact the future applications of this technology.

Remote Sensing in Defense – Industry Analysis
The most dramatic market trends have taken hold within the last decade, specifically within the field of commercially available, space-based GEOINT/IMINT RmS capabilities. Since the US Department of Defense (DOD) first spearheaded the hybridization of military and commercial satellite imagery under the Enhanced View program in 2010, demand for commercial satellite imagery from across the military spectrum has increased dramatically.
The emerging trend saw a major spike in the lead-up to and following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, with the US intelligence community incorporating commercial satellite imagery from firms such as Maxar Technologies in its public briefings on the build-up of Russian forces throughout the latter stages of 2021 and early 2022. Following the outbreak of the conflict, the use of commercial GOEINT/IMINT data to monitor the conflict and track troop movements expanded dramatically within both the military intelligence and open-source analytics community, with the widespread accessibility of high-resolution imagery and spectrometry data providing the public with unparalleled oversight of the conflict.
