FAQs

Maritime is purpose-optimized for ocean change detection with a streamlined 4-band, 8-bit configuration designed for rapid processing at maritime scale. Science offers 10-band L1 data for research applications requiring maximum spectral information. AiRD delivers 9-band L2A data for AI/ML workflows. Choose Maritime when processing efficiency across vast ocean areas is the priority.
The 8-bit configuration significantly reduces data volumes, enabling rapid processing of the vast areas typical in maritime operations. For vessel detection, anomaly identification, and coastal change analysis, 8-bit depth provides excellent detection capability while optimizing processing speed and storage efficiency.
At 5-meter resolution, Maritime can detect vessels and vessel wakes across open ocean and coastal areas. Detection capability depends on vessel size, sea state, and viewing conditions. Maritime is particularly effective for detecting activity pattern changes and vessel clustering anomalies.
Daily imaging enables pattern-of-life baseline development and behavioral anomaly detection. Persistent coverage reveals deviations from normal patterns that periodic surveillance misses—and eliminates the predictable gaps that adversaries exploit.
