Persistent ISR · SAR Intelligence Sovereign · On-premise · Air-gap ready

Persistent ISR for
defense operators.

VigilSAR delivers all-weather, day-or-night intelligence from ten open and commercial SAR constellations — plus your own proprietary imagery — fused with live AIS, OSINT, and change detection. Built for analysts and operators, not PhDs.

Why radar, why now

When optical fails, radar doesn't

Adversaries exploit weather, darkness, and camouflage. SAR sees through all of it. VigilSAR operationalises the data into decisions.

Denied environments

Optical imagery is useless at night, through clouds, smoke, or volcanic ash. SAR works through all of them.

Self-illuminating

Radar is its own light source. No sun angle required. Identical results at 3 AM local and at noon.

Hard to spoof

Metal and surface responses are physical, not cosmetic. Paint, netting, and optical camouflage don't fool a radar return.

Global coverage

Open constellations (Sentinel-1, NISAR, OPERA) cover the entire globe at no cost. No airspace permissions required.

Mission profiles

Designed around defense workflows

Six pre-configured profiles covering the most common ISR tasks. Every profile exports to GeoJSON, CSV, KML, and PDF for handoff to GIS, C2, or report chains.

Maritime Domain Awareness

Track vessels through dark AIS

Ship detection with wake analysis (speed and heading). Cross-reference live AIS stream to flag non-cooperative vessels and tanker-to-tanker transfers.

Airfield Monitoring

Count aircraft across denied airspace

Airbase-aware classifier detects fixed-wing on aprons and runways. Change detection flags new hangar, apron, or revetment construction week-over-week.

Force Movement Indicators

Convoy and staging detection

Vehicle and convoy classes. Camp and equipment detection. Activity-gathering alerts surface assembly areas for analyst review.

Fortification & Earthworks

New berms, bunkers, trenchworks

CFAR + InSAR coherence loss identifies fresh ground disturbance. Debris-field classifier supports rapid post-strike BDA.

Critical Infrastructure Watch

Ports, pipelines, depots, rail

Container and crane tracking. Weekly delta reports. Exports to GeoJSON and KML for direct GIS handoff.

Post-Strike BDA

Rapid damage assessment

Debris-field + 5-class change classifier within hours of an event. Generates stamped PDF reports with before/after, lat/lng, and confidence.

Data sources

Ten SAR constellations, one unified catalogue

Smart recommendation engine selects the optimal source per region and mission. C-band, L-band, X-band; sub-meter to ~30 m resolution. Historical archive back to ERS-1 (1991).

Bring your own data

Ingest proprietary or commercial SAR imagery alongside the open catalogue: Capella, Umbra, Airbus, Kleos, Satellogic, classified national constellations, or your own UAV / airborne radar. VigilSAR accepts GeoTIFF / Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF inputs and runs the full detection, change-classification, and InSAR pipeline against them — no vendor lock-in.

AI detection

20 object classes across 5 ISR domains

Two-stage pipeline: CFAR bright-target detection followed by a ResNet-18 classifier. Scene-aware (maritime, land, urban, airbase). Georeferenced markers with confidence scores — ready for C2 hand-off.

Plus specialised detectors: ship wake analysis (Radon transform — estimates speed and heading), InSAR coherence change, and a 5-class change classifier (construction, demolition, flooding, vegetation loss, no-change).

Deployment

Sovereign options, operator control

Defense procurement demands control over where data lives and who can touch it. VigilSAR ships in three configurations — hosted in your jurisdiction of choice (EU, US, Canada, UK, AU), on your own hardware, or fully air-gapped. Pick what your authority-to-operate allows.

Cloud

Hosted

Fastest path to value for unclassified work.

  • Regional hosting: EU, US, Canada, UK, AU
  • Data residency in your jurisdiction
  • Managed updates & model releases
  • Shared or dedicated tenancy
On-premise

Your hardware

Runs on your GPUs, inside your network.

  • Docker / Kubernetes reference bundle
  • CUDA and Apple Silicon supported
  • No outbound telemetry
  • Your OAuth / AD / SAML
Air-gapped

Offline bundle

Full install with bundled model weights.

  • No phone-home, no update checks
  • Local COG / tile cache ingestion
  • Classified-network reference architecture
  • Operator-supplied imagery ingest
