The fast and easy access to updated and reliable geo-spatial information is indispensable for military and civilian intelligence organizations to perform strategic activities, such as:
- Planning and management of missions which involve the displacement of large contingents;
- Management of crisis situations;
- Systematic reconnaissance and monitoring of strategic areas;
- Identification and detailed characterization of targets of interest (ships, buildings and illegal landing strips for airplanes).
Radar remote sensing is an important source of geo-spatial data which can be acquired at a high temporal frequency, independently of extensive cloud coverage, allowing precise analysis and detailed information. |

GEOAMBIENTE is a distributor of TerraSAR-X images, the first high resolution imaging radar (1 m resolution). The TerraSAR-X system is extremely accurate, flexible and fast, of fundamental importance for Defense and Intelligence applications.
This system allows the configuration of imaging parameters in accordance with the project objectives as well as with the acquisition and availability of data, easily and in almost real-time, considering that imaging of the area can be done in 2,5 days.
Among the various advantages from TerraSAR-X we can highlight: high geometric and radiometric accuracy; multi-polarization; easily programmable with different resolutions, different incidence angles and viewing azimuths. |
GEOAMBIENTE offers several services and products based on TerraSAR-X data for the Defense and Intelligence segments, detaching among them:
- Basic images at different processing levels (non-geocoded, geocoded, complex);
- Ortho-rectified images without control points with position accuracy compatible with PEC A(*) down to scale 1:10,000;
- Contour lines and Digital Elevation Models without control points, with vertical accuracy compatible with PEC A at scale 1:50,000;
- Detection of change services and monitoring of strategic areas;
- Detection services of targets of interest;
- Plani-altimetric mapping (contour lines, drainage and transportation system) compatible with PEC A at scale 1:25,000.
(*) PEC is the Brazilian abbreviation for Cartographic Standard for Accuracy, a quality reference for maps.
The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) developed by GEOAMBIENTE are also excellent tools for use in these intelligence areas. Among the different functionalities, these systems allow the simulation of different events to plan actions during crisis or emergency conditions and help also on the localization of victims in risk areas for urgent evacuation.
