focus
We develop FOCUS, an advanced X-Band SAR satellite constellation designed for interferometric analysis. FOCUS redefines infrastructure monitoring with a scalable satellite system, millimetric precision, and AI-powered analytics—ensuring proactive decision-making at disruptive pricing.
WHY FOCUS?
The system is named FOCUS to reflect its philosophy of concentrating all available resources on deliver an effective and targeted solution. This strategy enables the constellation to reduce costs and operate at disruptive market values, ensuring precise and accessible monitoring of critical infrastructures worldwide.
Scalable Constellation
The constellation’s size will adjust according to global image demand, enabling efficient scaling and resource optimization to meet market needs.
Subscription Plan
The FOCUS system operates on a subscription model, ensuring predictable costs, scalability, and control. This approach enables users to access critical data with minimal entry barriers and complete transparency.
Pricing
Disruptive market pricing through optimization across all key areas.
Leveraging low-cost, COTS (commercial off-the-shelf components), agile engineering practices, and onboard pre-processing.
Streamlining operations to significantly reduce production and operational costs while delivering high-quality solutions at a fraction of traditional prices.
