ICEYE To Provide Radar Imaging Satellite For BAE Systems

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.
