PEONEER satellite intelligence platform for EDA

PEONEER is a three-year European Defence Agency project carried out by a consortium led by e-GEOS. It addresses feasibility analysis, design and prototyping of a software platform to support geospatial intelligence:

  • determining the most suitable satellite and non-satellite data planning and collection strategy to carry out Activity-Based Intelligence (ABI) tasks;

  • providing automatic extraction of motion information as an activity indicator and for pattern-of-life analysis; and

  • defining specific workflows for ABI tasks for maritime and land applications to improve the decision-making process.

PEONEER is prototyping a customisable platform for persistent Earth Observation from space. Advanced analytics tools are being deployed, focusing on ABI, including use of social media and other non-EO data. PEONEER enables the definition and implementation of tools as well as federating existing and planned data assets.

Innovative AI tools and methodologies support extraction of thematic and pattern-of-life information from large quantities of unstructured data. The platform is being designed based on federatiing existing and planned space data assets and algorithms in the radar and optical domains. Bespoke information flows are being extracted and visualised.

Spacemetric is mainly contributing with image data management capabilities, focusing on application and enhancement of its Bluestone technology. In this way Bluestone lets a user understand, from the ground, what data is available on board the orbiting satellite platforms. The user can select onboard data for processing and download. Spacemetric is also bringing to the table its considerable competence in Federated Mission Networking (FMN) interoperability.

The consortium members are:

  • eGEOS (Italy)

  • AIRBUS DS SAS (France)

  • Earthcube (France)

  • HISDESAT (Spain)

  • ATEM (Spain)

  • Elsis (Lithuania)

  • Terma (Denmark)

  • Spacemetric (Sweden)

  • TOVEK (Czech Republic)

  • DefSecIntel Solutions (Estonia)
