Multi-Source Threat Monitoring
This application area focuses on continuously monitoring large regions for defense-relevant activity by fusing data from multiple sensing platforms such as satellites, drones, and other ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) assets. It automates the detection, tracking, and characterization of changes on the ground—such as troop movements, new installations, or unusual vehicle patterns—into a unified situational picture. Instead of relying solely on human analysts to sift through enormous volumes of imagery and sensor feeds, the system prioritizes what matters and highlights anomalies and threats in near real time. This matters because modern defense and intelligence operations must cover vast, dynamic theaters where manual image review cannot keep pace with the volume and frequency of data. By using AI to fuse heterogeneous sources and continuously scan for patterns and anomalies, organizations can gain faster, more accurate situational awareness with fewer personnel, shorten decision cycles, and improve response quality. The result is more informed tasking of assets, better border and infrastructure protection, and improved operational readiness under constrained resources.
The Problem
“Fuse satellite + drone ISR into real-time threat detections and tracks”
Organizations face these key challenges:
Analysts spend hours manually scanning imagery and video feeds, missing time-critical changes
High false positives from single-sensor detection (clouds, shadows, seasonal changes) create alert fatigue
