ZAITRA: Revolutionize Battlefield Intelligence with SKAISEN
10-10-2026
THE PROBLEM: The ineffective data pipeline
The satellite's traditional data pathway is cumbersome. It involves capturing massive volumes of raw data, downlinking it to ground stations, transferring it to data centers, and then processing and analyzing it before distributing any insights. This entire chain can take hours or even days. The growing demand for timely, actionable insights is outpacing the current satellite systems' ability to deliver and process data efficiently.
THE KEY USER PAINS:
Only a fraction of the data generated onboard a satellite is downlinked due to limited onboard storage and bandwidth
Downlink from satellites is slow and expensive
Satellites have limited access to ground stations, typically making 4-14 contacts per day, lasting often less than 10 minutes, depending on orbital trajectory and ground-station latitude
Generated data contains unusable images or atmospheric noise - Up to 70% of the generated data is unusable due to atmospheric noise, such as cloud cover, which offers no informative value for the end-user.
This traditional approach means that petabytes of critical data are either never delivered or arrive too late to have any real-world impact.
SKAISEN is a state-of-the-art, AI-powered edge computing software designed to analyze large datasets directly on the satellite, at the source of collection. SKAISEN’s AI/ML algorithms work autonomously in orbit to:
Filter Unusable Data: It identifies and discards useless data, such as cloud-covered imagery, contextually irrelevant data, or pre-processes and compresses less critical data to save valuable downlink bandwidth.
Continuous Monitoring: It allows for continuous, autonomous monitoring of predefined areas.
Direct gateway to Actionable Insights from Space: When an anomaly or change is detected, the SKAISEN automatically generates „actionable insight," real-time, context-rich directives or alerts that directly propagate the information to the operational system and alert end-users to enable immediate action on the ground or in space.
SKAISEN´s capability enables faster decision-making and more precise, impactful responses, offering a critical advantage.
USE CASES:
SKAISEN provides a powerful tool for real-time satellite intelligence for both ground and space domains.
GROUND Domain:
Threat Detection: SKAISEN can detect potential threats, such as untraceable ships or suspicious vehicles, entering critical territory.
Automated Alerting: Actionable insights from orbit can be directly shared with command units and operational systems, such as drone or missile defense systems.
Connected to existing capabilities: SKAISEN is compatible with existing software command systems and other systems, such as UAVs, in-situ sensors, protective response systems, and others, to ensure seamless interoperability and quick deployment of countermeasures.
Fast Response: It enables automated and real-time/near-real-time detection of early threats in the air, at sea, or on the ground.
Battlefield Transparency: It provides the ability to observe and analyze enemy and battlefield resources in real-time and promptly share crucial information with all available systems, teams, and allies.
SPACE Domain:
Space Situational Awareness: SKAISEN provides an automated early detection system for the presence of unexpected missiles in a desired area, enhancing space situational awareness.
USER BENEFITS:
Actionable insight generated by SKAISEN provides several key benefits for tactical decision-making and overall operational effectiveness:
Unprecedented Speed: Transforms raw satellite data into actionable intelligence in minutes, not hours or days.
Massive Cost Savings: Achieves over 70% savings on downlink-related costs by intelligently filtering and compressing data at the source.
Enhanced Situational Awareness: Provides a constant, global eye, offering unparalleled visibility into enemy movements, critical infrastructure, and capabilities.
Automated Threat Detection: Enables real-time/near-real-time detection of early threats in ground, air, and maritime domains (e.g., untraceable ships, suspicious vehicles, unexpected missiles/hypersonic vehicles).
Compatible with existing command system: Enables connection and automation of other battlefield assets and capabilities.
Improved Tactical Decision-Making: Shortens response times to emerging threats by directly sharing crucial, pre-selected information with command units and operational systems.
