ICEYEn ja paikallisen Scanwayn välillä MOU optisten tiedustelusatelliittien suunnittelemiseksi. ICEYEsta puhutaan joskus osin puolalaisena, mihin ei vähiten vaikuttane puolalainen tj.
ICEYE, and Wrocław-based optical and vision tech specialists Scanway signed a Memorandum of Understanding regarding the design of high-resolution optical satellites. The sats would initially provide imagery for Polish users, but potentially also for global customers in the future.
The new satellites are to be used for defense purposes and will have an optical resolution of around 50 cm, necessary for targets detection and identification. They will join ICEYE’s existing SAR systems, giving Polish customers access to comprehensive Earth observation data, the companies said.

Sitten toinen Iceyen Puolan yhteistyösuunnitelma.
The next day ICEYE Polska was party to another agreement, this one with Wojskowe Zakłady Łączności Nr 1 (WZŁ-1, Military Communications Works) and Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa (PGZ, Polish Armament Group), to jointly develop what they called a Mobile ISR Cell (Mobilna Platforma Rozpoznania Satelitarnego ISR, MPRS ISR), adapted to cooperate with SAR satellites and satellites equipped with optical sensors.

The group said the new solution combines communication and data transmission systems, power supply unit and a specially designed antenna system, ensuring fast data transmission and its direct distribution to the appropriate recipients at any command level.

MPRS ISR is designed to provide the ability to conduct permanent operations using the ICEYE satellite constellation, collect data almost in real time and analyze it on an ongoing basis. The system is designed for cooperation at the operational level, supporting commanders in making decisions and providing situational awareness on the battlefield more efficiently and quicker.

Tässä jutussa kerrotaan miten kaupalliset satelliittikuvat on olleet hyödyksi yllättäen diplomatiassa Ukrainan suhteen. Sillä on vakuutettu liittolaisia, muun muassa että varoittelut Venäjän aikeista on totta ja kuvien avulla se on saatu myytyä uskottavasti paikalliselle vaalikarjalle.

USAn Space Force haluaa AMTI-kykyisiä satelliitteja 2030-luvun alussa. Sentry ja JSTARS korvaaminen ja Ilmavoimien vs Space Forcen tontti konfliktissa.
Satellites equipped with Air Moving Target Indicators (AMTI), which would send precise tracking data to “shooters” on the ground, at sea and in the air, would be a new capability — joining the Space Force’s joint program with the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) to develop Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) satellites that track vehicles and ships.

While Guetlein didn’t go into details, one of the key challenges for tracking enemy aircraft from space is that airplanes and drones move much faster than tanks, trucks and ships. This is compounded by the fact that to be best able to take high-quality pictures or establish radar images of objects on the ground or in the air, satellites would have to be stationed in low Earth orbit where they themselves move around the Earth at about 7.8 kilometers per second.
