Defense Capabilities
Advanced satellite imagery solutions for military reconnaissance, national security operations, and strategic planning.
Identifying Military Facilities & Activities
With high-resolution imagery (up to 0.2 meters), KOMPSAT is a powerful tool for identifying and monitoring military infrastructure, logistics bases, and activity patterns in regions of interest. These satellites allow defense and intelligence teams to:
- Monitor troop movements and equipment deployment
- Assess the operational status of missile bases or strategic assets
- Conduct rapid damage assessment in conflict zones
- Observe large geographic areas during regional tensions or emergencies
Through optical and SAR imaging, it is possible to conduct near real-time tracking of sensitive zones and contribute to situational awareness, early warning, and threat analysis across border regions or conflict-prone areas in Africa and globally.
Troop Monitoring
Monitor troop movements and equipment deployment
Asset Assessment
Assess operational status of strategic assets
Damage Assessment
Conduct rapid damage assessment in conflict zones
Area Monitoring
Observe large geographic areas during tensions
Acquiring Tactical and Geospatial Intelligence
Satellite imagery from KOMPSAT offers multi-band observation that supports land cover classification, terrain understanding, and structural identification. Using spectral reflectance analysis and pixel grouping techniques, analysts can distinguish between:
- Urban zones, rivers, rice fields, forests, grasslands, and bare land
- Aircraft and ships by type and size
- Facility layout and surrounding topography of military hubs
This intelligence is critical for:
- Mission planning and targeting analysis
- Base security and vulnerability mapping
- Infrastructure monitoring for government and defense clients
KOMPSAT provides defense-grade imagery that supports military reconnaissance, national security operations, and strategic planning across Africa's evolving defense landscape and global security environments.
