Saab Signs MOU with ICEYE

Saab and ICEYE have signed an agreement to integrate satellite-based radar data into Saab's systems, aiming to enhance military operations. The collaboration focuses on using SAR technology for improved surveillance and protection.

Saab and the Finnish space technology company ICEYE have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the integration of satellite-based radar data into Saab's command systems. The collaboration aims to develop and demonstrate how ICEYE's Synthetic-Aperture Radar (SAR) technology can be used to enhance situational awareness and decision-making in military operations.

– Saab's integration with ICEYE data will provide real-time high-resolution images through clouds and darkness, enabling comprehensive surveillance and reconnaissance for faster and more informed decisions in complex operational environments, says Carl-Johan Bergholm, head of Saab's business area Surveillance.

ICEYE develops and operates satellites equipped with SAR technology for Earth observation and delivers radar-based data for applications in defense, security, and disaster management, among others.

– It is crucial to stay ahead, and effective situational awareness is a key factor. We are combining ICEYE's SAR technology with Saab's command systems to explore new ways to enhance surveillance and protection, says Pekka Laurila, CSO and co-founder of ICEYE.

The initial focus of the collaboration is to explore and demonstrate the integration of SAR data in multi-domain operations. According to the parties, this could provide enhanced capabilities for space surveillance and protection of critical infrastructure.
