Enhance Geospatial Intelligence with Planet's High Frequency Satellite Data
Inform intelligence, ensure defense, prioritize resources, and act decisively with daily insights and global satellite data
Planet for Defense and Intelligence
Planet's Global Daily Data Transforms Perceived Risk into Observational Truth
Planet pairs persistent global satellite monitoring with low latency tasking to deliver early intelligence across shifting geopolitical landscapes. With machine learning-based analytic feeds, Planet provides intelligence groups and defense organizations with the data required for informed decision-making and enhanced crisis management.
Global Scale
Track and search borders, remote geographies, and coastal waters with 350+ million square kilometers of imagery captured daily
Imagery Archive
Leverage 10+ billion square kilometers of archive imagery to predict and understand events
Daily Collection Assurance
Daily global monitoring powered by 200+ satellites without the need for tasking
Rapid, Flexible Tasking
High-resolution satellite tasking available on demand
Streamlined Access and Integration
Intuitive API, cloud-based processing, ArcGIS Pro, and QGIS integrations
Increase access to geospatial data with Planet’s range of scalable satellite solutions. The PlanetScope constellation monitors the Earth’s entire landmass and strategic areas of interest every day at 3.7 meter resolution, and the SkySat constellation can task collections of 50-centimeter satellite imagery sub-daily.
Planet Analytics allows you to identify and quantify change. With Planet's machine learning-powered feature extraction, observe these developments in isolation, and make decisions accordingly. Planet's automated object detection analytics allows you to observe patterns of life, monitor abnormalities, and inform activity-based assessments.
SkySat’s intra-day revisit capacity captured two images of the Kabul International Airport in Afghanistan on August 16th at 8:26 and 9:11 UTC - just 45 minutes apart. The imagery gave a near real-time look into the deteriorating situation.
