With increasing maritime traffic, border security enforcement, growing illegal activities and threats at sea, it is more important than ever before to be able to effectively monitor, react and protect our oceans and waterways. Pléiades Neo brings a new level of maritime intelligence for law enforcement organisations. With its 30cm resolution detailed imagery and multi-revisit capabilities, we can now provide rapid insight for effective surveillance. Pléaides Neo is ideal for maritime security and environmental applications such as identifying illegal activities/routes, trafficking, oil spill monitoring and illegal fishing.
Precise detail, massive data and timeliness are more and more crucial in our constantly changing world. To support land administration and city management, Pléiades Neo delivers optimum reactivity to address todays real urban challenges. Whether it is to asses climate change and pollution impacts, monitor urban sprawl and soil sealing or to ensure safety and emergency response with its 30cm imagery and high agility and capacity, Pléiades Neo delivers the necessary insights.
