Saab, ICEYE integrating advanced space-based radar data to military command systems

Saab and ICEYE, a leading provider of Synthetic-Aperture Radar (SAR) data and analytics, announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to cooperate on the development and integration of advanced space-based radar data in Saab’s command and control systems.

This strategic cooperation aims to integrate ICEYE's cutting-edge SAR technology solutions into Saab's command and control systems, enhancing tactical decision-making and situational awareness in defense.

Space-based sensor capabilities are becoming crucial for modern militaries, providing access to critical information in challenging environments. This cooperation intends to deliver tangible value to customers by integrating ICEYE's enhanced situational awareness, long-range targeting, and improved tactical decision-making capabilities with Saab’s command and control systems.

“Saab’s integration with ICEYE data will provide real-time, high-resolution imagery through clouds and darkness, enabling comprehensive surveillance and reconnaissance for faster, even more informed decisions, in complex operational environments,” says Carl-Johan Bergholm, Senior Vice President and Head of Saab’s business area Surveillance.

The MoU lays the foundations with the initial focus on investigating and demonstrating integration for multi-domain operations. The benefits would enable advanced space situational awareness and critical infrastructure protection capabilities, providing valuable insights for both civilian and military authorities in times of peace, the grey zone or conflict.
