At a forum this week, attendees discussed new technologies and products being developed commercially to turn information into geospatial intelligence.

Over the years, we have discussed how synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can provide valuable ground-truth information not available elsewhere. We provide a list of 26 examples drawn from our previous work.

SAR is an imaging technology that offers capabilities to capture complex elements, including location, distance, speed, and direction of movement.

Brian Barris, Senior Imaging Specialist, and Corey Miller, Head of Research and Development, discuss how they used satellite-based, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to detect the oil spill off the coast of Mauritius in August to assist clean-up efforts.

We wanted to highlight some of the companies with whom we collaborated to monitor this month’s oil spill off the coast of Mauritius.
