Space-Based Tactical ISR System

ICEYE SAR Constellation

The world's largest commercial synthetic aperture radar constellation, imaging through clouds, smoke, and darkness from roughly 500-600 km sun-synchronous orbits. ICEYE sells tasking, archive, and derived products from its own fleet and uses the same buses for customer-owned national missions. Imaging modes run from wide Scan (scenes up to about 120,000 km2) down to Dwell Precise at 25 cm or 16 cm on Gen4, with claimed global revisit under six hours and sub-15-minute revisit on a dense constellation.

Generation 4 SAR Satellite

ICEYE's current production SAR bus, designed for mass manufacture and sovereign missions. Gen4 doubles antenna size and signal strength versus prior generations, images at up to 16 cm, covers a 400 km high-resolution field of regard, and downlinks at up to 700 Mbps on a steerable antenna. The satellites are software-defined (IceOS) and ITAR-free, which is central to ICEYE's European and allied government pitch.

Flood Insights

ICEYE's flagship natural-catastrophe product: SAR-derived flood extent, depth, and duration at building level, delivered as GIS layers and APIs for insurers, reinsurers, and emergency agencies. The same SAR stack supports wildfire building-level damage and hurricane rapid-impact maps. Unlike modelled flood surfaces, ICEYE sells observed water from its own constellation, including through cloud cover at night.

Sovereign LEO communications

Partnership with Nokia, announced 1 October 2026, to develop sovereign broadband LEO communications systems that governments own and operate, including satellites, ground segment and terminals. Designed to complement military and commercial terrestrial networks rather than replace them. First communications satellites are expected in 2028.
