Geo Information Defense and Security

Maritime Applications Land Applications Our Solutions

Building on its expertise in space operations, satellite services, and Earth observation data analysis, Telespazio France supports institutional and defense actors in their most critical missions.

Our ambition is to deliver reliable, responsive, and high-value geospatial information in order to enhance awareness, anticipation, and decision-making at tactical, operational, and strategic levels.

As a result, satellite technology is perfectly suited for awareness and anticipation strategies:

  • Monitoring of all areas and sites of interest;
  • Intelligence and awareness of an area of interest prior to an operation;
  • Surveillance and monitoring in support of ongoing and future operations.

Maritime Applications

Maritime spaces and their resources are now at the core of major geopolitical tensions. As vital channels carrying 90% of international trade (by volume) and primary hubs of human activity on which 60% of humanity living along coasts depends, seas and oceans are subject to intense rivalry. Mastering these spaces has therefore become of paramount strategic importance.

Maritime authorities face a wide range of challenges :

Safety and Security Operations

Maritime traffic monitoring, counter-piracy, counter-terrorism, and illicit trafficking prevention.

Environmental Conservation

Pollution detection and tracking, fisheries monitoring.

Infrastructure Protection

Surveillance of sensitive sites (wind farms, pipelines, offshore platforms).

Search and Rescue Operations

Maritime Search and Rescue (SAR), exploration and surveying.

Our solutions and services are tailored for seamless integration into our clients’ concept of operations, whether in the context of naval combat (Defense), law enforcement at sea (State Action at Sea), or environmental protection (management of Marine Protected Areas).


Thanks to our space-based data and capabilities, we enable maritime authorities to fulfill their 'awareness and anticipation' mission by meeting the following key needs:

Detailed maritime situational awareness.

Operational planning and execution support.

Optimization of personnel and equipment deployment.

Decision-making support.

Land Applications

The land domain, where the vast majority of human activity is concentrated, is a particularly complex and demanding environment. Terrain and geographical features directly influence the planning and conduct of operations, making the 'awareness and anticipation' mission a critical lever for tactical and strategic superiority.

Telespazio France offers two types of services. Tactical services:

Operational preparation support

Identification of landing zones, optimal approaches, egress routes, infrastructure analysis (roads, bridges, energy facilities), and support for obstacle preparation or mobile bridge deployment.

Intelligence

Activity and change detection, ground capacity assessment, detection of anomalies and weak signals.

Operational and strategic services:

Environmental Awareness

Satellite-based mapping (infrastructure mapping), change detection, terrain analysis including line-of-sight calculations, soil characterization (using hyperspectral data), and cross-country mobility analysis.

Post-operational analysis

Battle Damage Assessment (BDA)-type analysis, before/after comparison and terrain evolution monitoring, compilation of crisis management reports.

Operational decision-making support

Production of situation assessments and evaluation of decision impacts in the theater of operations.

Surveillance

Areas of interest, sensitive sites, or strategic axes.

This analytical work thus contributes to the surveillance of sensitive areas, the analysis of critical infrastructure, and the detection of anomalies or weak signals, providing reliable input for operational planning, execution, and decision-making in the most complex environments.

Satellite Earth observation capabilities provide a granular, dynamic understanding of terrain, infrastructure, and human activity. They enhance planning, mobility, and decision-making, delivering the essential information superiority required to conduct land operations.

Our solutions

Telespazio France provides military and environmental intelligence solutions covering the full spectrum of requirements from crisis prevention to operational support to inform strategic decision-making for civilian and military authorities.

To address these challenges, Telespazio France relies on a service portfolio built on diverse satellite capabilities and multi-source data, enhanced by recognized human expertise.

We transform massive volumes of data into actionable intelligence, by combining :

Space-based Earth observation data

Collecting information through a vendor-agnostic approach.

Advanced Geospatial Analysis

Exploiting space data and detecting features of interest.

Multi-source and Cross-domain Data Fusion

Enriching space-derived data and cross-referencing sources.

Artificial Intelligence

Enhancing multi-source data synthesis and accelerating analysis.

Our teams leverage the most relevant sources including optical and radar satellite imagery, radio frequency (RF) data, AIS, open-source intelligence (OSINT), and ground truth data to deliver a comprehensive, contextualized view of the operational environment.

Geo4Earth

Geospatial intelligence driving your operational missions. To facilitate access to data and geo-information services, Telespazio France developed Geo4Earth, an Earth observation data access platform designed to meet the requirements of operational users.

The platform promotes collaboration, secure information sharing, and simplified access to space capabilities, all while leveraging the expertise of Telespazio France’s geospatial teams.

Through a single, intuitive interface, users can search, order, and exploit data from multiple satellite constellations, including both archive imagery and new tasking requests.
