“BlackSky released new imaging and analysis upgrades that, when combined with our high-revisit satellite imaging capabilities, will make monitoring the world’s most critical locations, events and economic assets more impactful for customers,” said Amy Minnick, chief commercial officer at BlackSky.
“We are delivering quantifiable, timely and meaningful answers to our customers’ most difficult supply chain and site-specific questions and opening a new set of customer use cases and commercial applications that were not previously economically or technically feasible to address,” Minnick added. “And our monitoring solutions are customizable, at scale.”
BlackSky serves customers in the government, financial services, mapping and navigation, maritime and supply chain logistics, and commodities and natural resource sectors who monitor highly varied areas of interest, including construction sites and parking lots, airfields, agricultural fields, major shipping channels, and ship ports.
“As a BlackSky customer, we recognize the power of global monitoring,” said Jamie Conklin, vice president of product at Astraea. “Detecting changes and understanding pattern-of-life behaviors drives key business decisions for our clients in support of infrastructure planning and observation. Astraea’s monitoring services, powered by BlackSky’s high-revisit imagery, deliver answers to critical questions around commercial commodities and valuable economic indicators.”
BlackSky can now automatically detect, track and identify maritime vessels of various types and sizes and, when combined with geofencing techniques, provide real-time alerts on the movement of critical movements of ships and cargo. Corporate customers assessing their own or competitor’s manufacturing or facility performance can monitor the pace of production in the form of vehicle, aircraft or vessel traffic to and from a site of interest. Financial services and hedge fund operators monitoring the movements of commodities worldwide can get a single port, regional and even nationally aggregated, customizable reports on goods moving from one location to another.
Feature upgrades include:
API-Level Customization - Customers now have a new bring-your-own-data option where they can use APIs to seamlessly integrate their own data and customize BlackSky’s site monitoring service to their particular needs.
Object Identification – Updated aircraft and vessel-type classification features provide deeper insights into operational fleet trends. Spectra AI can also trigger automatic alerts during anomalous events, like when multiple aircraft occupy a runway or a specific vessel enters a port.
Third-Party Sensor Integration – BlackSky’s Spectra AI analytics platform can now seamlessly integrate information from the following sources:
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images and analytics for all-weather and night monitoring
Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) for wildfire detection and monitoring the operational status of refineries and upstream oil and gas operations
