For use in Defence and Security, it is essential that the images captured by the satellites are of very high resolution and that the satellite revisit time is short enough to pass through the area of interest several times.
The strategic information provided by a radar element (SAR) and an optical element of very high resolution provide decisive support in decision-making and in the estimation of risks for senior government authorities on issues of common security and defence policy, foreign policy, border protection, monitoring of migratory crises, prevention and support for natural disasters, etc.
Execution and results
The Ministry of Defence will conduct a Pre-commercial Public Procurement for a prototype through the Industrial Technological Development Centre (CDTI).
