The industry's highest fidelity 25 cm product
will allow ICEYE's customers to identify objects and features on
the earth's surface with far greater clarity than before.
HELSINKI, Oct. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ICEYE, the
global leader in SAR satellite operations for Earth Observation and
persistent monitoring, today introduced Dwell Precise, a new
imaging mode that adds advanced capability to ICEYE's line of Dwell
products and builds on the release of Dwell Fine in March 2024. Dwell Precise provides a
25-centimeter resolution and is based on the 1200 MHz radar
bandwidth announced earlier this year. 1200 MHz is currently the
maximum that commercial satellites are allowed to use.
ICEYE's Dwell Precise uniqueness comes from the combination of
high quality data with high resolution, and it will make a
difference when identification of smaller objects or targets is
required, e.g types of vehicles and types of military equipment,
without the need for additional intelligence sources. As a SAR
satellite orbits the Earth its radar signals focus on a specific
area of the planet's surface to create an image based on return
data. Like other modes in the Dwell product line, Dwell Precise
data are taken from a much more comprehensive range of angles,
allowing it to spot objects through tree cover and foliage.
ICEYE owns and operates the world's largest constellation of SAR
satellites. It first introduced Dwell mode in May 2023, and with the introduction of Dwell Fine
in March 2024 and today's launch of
Dwell Precise, ICEYE further underlines its commitment to constant
innovation in serving private and public sector organizations
globally with the most advanced commercial Earth Observation
capabilities and SAR satellite data.
John Cartwright, ICEYE's SVP and
Head of Data Product, said "Dwell Precise will be the industry's
highest fidelity 25 cm product. Dwell Precise represents the
culmination of the industry's best imaging capabilities and adds
significant depth to our line of Dwell products. The increased
resolution will allow ICEYE's customers to identify objects and
features on the earth's surface with far greater clarity than was
available previously, all while benefiting from the day/night all
weather imaging capabilities of SAR."
"The launch of Dwell Precise highlights ICEYE's commitment to
meeting the evolving mission sets of our customers through constant
innovation and identification of ways to improve our products and
services," said Eric Jensen, CEO of
ICEYE US.
