The integration enables Aechelon to transform ICEYE’s persistent, all-weather synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data into accurate, high-fidelity 3D terrain and object visualizations. The capability will be demonstrated at I/ITSEC 2025. The collaboration fuses ICEYE’s SAR detections with Vantor’s global 3D spatial foundation, which includes 3D terrain and building footprints covering over 95% of Earth’s landmass with approximately 3-meter accuracy. Vantor continuously updates this dataset using its imaging satellite constellation. The data is delivered to SkyBeam via Vantor’s Tensorglobe™ platform. According to Aechelon CEO Nacho Sanz-Pastor, the companies have partnered for decades across major defense programs, but this is the first integration of Vantor’s software-enabled spatial intelligence with Project Orbion. The collaboration expands the ecosystem of industry partners contributing to Aechelon’s next-generation geospatial intelligence capabilities. Project Orbion functions as an AI-enabled Digital Twin of the Earth, unifying satellite imagery, photogrammetry, radar intelligence, detections, and continuous updates into a single 3D synthetic environment. Aechelon’s AI processes Vantor building footprints, extracts vegetation, models environmental features such as real-time snow accumulation, and converts ICEYE SAR detections into dynamic 3D representations. The combined system allows operators to visualize moving targets, new structures, and environmental changes with high accuracy. Beyond defense applications, the integration supports disaster response, emergency management, and autonomous system training. Built on Aechelon’s SkyBeam platform, Project Orbion represents the future of Aechelon’s global, sensor-fused geospatial ecosystem. This capability will be demonstrated live at I/ITSEC 2025 in Orlando, Florida, at Booth #1301.
