Sovereign ISR from Space

Complete, battle-proven space-based ISR systems to nations. Operational within 12 months of contract signature.

ICEYE MISSIONS

Sovereign ISR from space, proven in conflict, delivered in months

ICEYE delivers complete space-based ISR systems directly to governments. Each mission includes satellites, ground infrastructure, software, analytics, and tactical exploitation tools. The system is built in Europe, ITAR-free, and designed to compress the time from a commander's request to an intelligence product.

Your system. No foreign dependencies.

ICEYE satellites are registered as your national assets and operated exclusively by your personnel. Tasking, processing, and data storage run on infrastructure you own. No third party has access to your data or operational decisions. The entire system runs on ICEYE’s operating system that receives continuous updates, delivering new capabilities to your constellation without replacing hardware.

 

Validated in real conflict

ICEYE systems have produced thousands of intelligence products for armed forces in active combat, directly supporting strike planning and force protection. NATO has selected ICEYE as a vendor for space-based ISR. European and allied nations are building their sovereign constellations on ICEYE technology.

 

Operational in 12 months

Your first satellite launches within 12 months of contract signature. Ground segment installation, training, and commissioning run in parallel. Your teams begin operating on SAR data from the ICEYE constellation from day one, building analyst workflows and operational procedures before your own satellites reach orbit.

 

How ICEYE satellites changed tactical ISR in Ukraine

The war in Ukraine proved that satellite constellations are a core component of modern ISR. ICEYE systems are directly supporting strike planning and battlefield decisions across thousands of kilometers of frontline. Persistent, all-weather, and beyond the reach of electronic warfare.

SPEED TO CAPABILITY

From contract to operational ISR

01

Ordering your mission

Requirements, constellation design, and delivery schedule are defined. Satellite and ground segment production begins. Training and installation plans are set.

02

Intelligence from day one

Your team can begin receiving SAR data from the ICEYE constellation within weeks of contract signature. Analysts build workflows and operational procedures on real intelligence before your sovereign satellites reach orbit.

03

Ground segment delivery

Your on-premise mission infrastructure is installed at your facility within 9 months. Satellite control, tasking, and processing run on your hardware, under your control.

04

Training

ICEYE delivers comprehensive training for satellite operations, from basic SAR principles through to mission planning and contingency procedures. Your team is prepared to operate independently.

05

First satellite launch

Your first satellites launche within 12 months of contract signature. ICEYE manages the full launch campaign, from licensing through to deployment in orbit.

06

Commissioning and handover

ICEYE commissions your satellite and hands over operational control. Your team takes command of a sovereign national asset.

07

Maintenance and updates

ICEYE provides lifetime technical support for your mission. Satellites receive software updates over the air, delivering new imaging modes, faster processing, and expanded features throughout the system lifecycle.
