ImageSat International has announced the capability of its RUNNER satellite system, which offers real-time movement tracking from orbit.
This technological advancement transitions satellite intelligence from traditional static imagery to live, actionable insights, benefiting sectors such as defence intelligence, urban management, infrastructure monitoring, and disaster response.
RUNNER's operative capabilities
RUNNER has been fully operational for over three years, demonstrating its reliability and transformative utility
RUNNER has been fully operational for over three years, demonstrating its reliability and transformative utility. It features in-orbit embedded AI, which allows for onboard analysis of movement and scene dynamics.
These capabilities enable the direct dissemination of critical intelligence, efficiently integrating into existing operational networks. The compressed high-level symbology used enhances the seamless inclusion of space-based agents within warfighter networks.
Advanced AI and imaging technology
At the core of RUNNER's efficacy is ImageSat International’s sophisticated multi-sensor infrastructure, image stabilisation, and robust hardware designed from years of experience. The platform provides sub-metre resolution true-colour video and dynamic analytics, which include instant mapping and classification capabilities even in low visibility conditions such as at night or through cloud cover.
The advanced onboard AI agents and eight GPU processors facilitate live analysis of movement types and operational zones swiftly, furnishing users with vital insight when it matters the most.
Leveraging generative AI for enhanced insight
ImageSat International is noted as the first satellite company to implement such AI models trained exclusively
A significant aspect of ISI's distinction is its specialised intelligence data archive, improved continuously through the deployment of generative AI models.
ImageSat International is noted as the first satellite company to implement such AI models trained exclusively on its data corpus, enriching every observation and readying it for analytical application tailored to mission-specific requirements.
Transformative intelligence access
Noam Segal, CEO of ISI, stated, "RUNNER changes the rules for satellite intelligence. For the first time, analysts and operators have instant access to dynamic movement tracking, embedded AI agents, and actual intelligence data, at the speed of operations and tailored for warfighter needs."
Segal further emphasised that this capability is set to revolutionise real-time intelligence support, influencing mission decisions on a global scale.
