The Stakes

AIS can be disabled in seconds. Cloud cover defeats optical satellites for weeks. In the gap between those two systems, illegal fishing, maritime trafficking, and EEZ violations happen daily - undetected, unpunished, and at a cost that runs into billions of dollars every year. The gap isn't a policing problem. It's an infrastructure one.

Capabilities

Persistent situational awareness across every nautical mile of your EEZ.

All Weather Imaging

Synthetic aperture radar cuts through cloud, fog, and darkness for uninterrupted EEZ surveillance.

SAR+AIS Data Fusion

Every radar detection is cross-checked against AIS, instantly flagging vessels that go dark.

~1/10th the cost

Persistent, country-scale EEZ monitoring without the price tag of legacy satellites or patrol fleets.

~ 1m Resolution

Sharp enough to identify and classify a vessel, not just spot a blip on the radar.

30 mins. Revisit

Multiple SAR satellites working together for persistent, high-revisit coverage.

3650 x 50 Km. Coverage

Enough swath width to monitor your entire EEZ without gaps in coverage.

Tested in orbit. All mission objectives, cleared.

On 30th December 2024, our in-orbit tech demonstrator, Varuna, launched on PSLV-C60 and completed every primary mission objective from space. The data is in. The system works. Constellation deployment begins soon.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Patrol assets only cover a fraction of an EEZ at any moment, and optical satellites can't see through cloud or darkness. SAR images the whole area regardless of weather or time of day, and AIS fusion flags mismatches within minutes.
Vessel ID, Location history, Last seen coordinates, and AIS status are delivered straight to your team via dashboard or API. The decision to investigate or respond stays with you.
Yes — detections and alerts can be pushed into your current command-and-control, GIS, or maritime domain awareness platform.
Data handling, access, and retention are configured per deployment to meet government and defense security requirements.
A dedicated satellite or sensor program typically costs several times more. We deliver the same outcome for about a tenth of the cost.
Varuna can be tasked over a specific port, chokepoint, or corridor — coverage doesn't have to be country-scale. We'll scope the right coverage plan for your area of interest once we connect over a call.
