On June 25, Maxar Intelligence announced the launch of Sentry, a first-of-its-kind persistent monitoring solution that delivers strategic operational and threat intelligence at global scale for a real-time decision advantage.
Sentry integrates AI-powered capabilities unique to Maxar—including multi-source constellation orchestration, geospatial fusion, and advanced machine learning models for automated analytics—to deliver a new level of closed-loop spatial intelligence. It is specifically designed to monitor hundreds of areas around the world to solve complex problems such as anticipating adversarial threats or protecting industrial infrastructure.
The Sentry suite includes two products designed for specific mission sets: Site Sentry, a product for monitoring places of interest across land and sea, such as shipyards, airports, urban centers and more, and Maritime Sentry, a broad area monitoring product for tracking vessel activity at sea and in port, enabling customers to actively monitor thousands of sq km of ocean at once.
Both Sentry products draw on Maxar’s 250+ petabyte archive of very high-resolution satellite imagery collected over more than two decades. This unrivaled geospatial foundation provides training data for advanced AI/ML computer vision models that contain a detailed understanding of historical activity and global patterns across the world.
“For many of our customers, it’s no longer enough to be able to deliver persistent monitoring of only one or two sites or limited geographies—the world is changing too fast, and they need to be able to identify mission-critical activity before it happens, anywhere in the world,” said Dan Smoot, CEO of Maxar Intelligence. “For the first time, Sentry makes it possible to use the full potential of space to deliver predictive intelligence at global scale. Sentry uses AI and ML to drive automation across the entire sensor-to-decision system, unlocking sensor integration at a scale that hasn’t been done before.”
“It’s a game changer for our customer that unlocks a new level of decision superiority, be it to identify an imminent satellite launch before it happens or to estimate potential threats to energy infrastructure following a natural disaster,” continued Smoot.
