Proven in conflict, delivered in months
ICEYE delivers complete space-based ISR systems directly to governments. Each mission includes satellites, ground infrastructure, software, analytics, and tactical exploitation tools. The system is built in Europe, ITAR-free, and designed to compress the time from a commander's request to an intelligence product.
Your system. No foreign dependencies.
ICEYE satellites are registered as your national assets and operated exclusively by your personnel. Tasking, processing, and data storage run on infrastructure you own. No third party has access to your data or operational decisions. The entire system runs on ICEYE’s operating system that receives continuous updates, delivering new capabilities to your constellation without replacing hardware.
Validated in real conflict.
ICEYE systems have produced thousands of intelligence products for armed forces in active combat, directly supporting strike planning and force protection. NATO has selected ICEYE as a vendor for space-based ISR. European and allied nations are building their sovereign constellations on ICEYE technology.
Operational in 12 months.
Your first satellite launches within 12 months of contract signature. Ground segment installation, training, and commissioning run in parallel. Your teams begin operating on SAR data from the ICEYE constellation from day one, building analyst workflows and operational procedures before your own satellites reach orbit.
How ICEYE satellites changed tactical ISR in Ukraine
The war in Ukraine proved that satellite constellations are a core component of modern ISR. ICEYE systems are directly supporting strike planning and battlefield decisions across thousands of kilometers of frontline. Persistent, all-weather, and beyond the reach of electronic warfare.
Tactical ISR from Space

A complete ISR system
Every ICEYE mission is configured to national requirements and delivered as a single integrated system. Satellites, ground infrastructure, software, analytics, and tactical exploitation tools. Your teams operate independently from day one, with full training and ongoing support.
Gen4 satellites with 16 cm resolution. All-weather, day-and-night imaging across Dwell, Spot, Strip, and Scan modes. Registered as your national assets.
A deployable ground unit that runs the full ISR loop from a single container. Compresses the loop from collection to intelligence dissemination to minutes. Proven in NATO military exercises.
Global data delivery
A global network of 20+ ground stations and 60+ antennas ensures rapid, encrypted downlink at all times. For fully sovereign missions, a dedicated ground station antenna enables tasking and data receipt at your facility.
ISR Analytics lets operators manage multiple collection requests and run a complete exploitation workflow from tasking to dissemination. AI-powered automatic target recognition compresses the intelligence loop from hours to minutes.
Data and capacity
Access to SAR data from the ICEYE constellation from day one. Your teams build workflows, operational procedures, and gain intelligence while your sovereign satellites are being produced.
Evolving system
The system improves with updates. New imaging modes, faster processing, and expanded capabilities are delivered to your system on-orbit and on the ground, without replacing hardware.
SPEED TO CAPABILITY
From contract to operational ISR
Ordering your mission
Requirements, constellation design, and delivery schedule are defined. Satellite and ground segment production begins. Training and installation plans are set.
Intelligence from day one
Your team can begin receiving SAR data from the ICEYE constellation within weeks of contract signature. Analysts build workflows and operational procedures on real intelligence before your sovereign satellites reach orbit.
Ground segment delivery
Your on-premise mission infrastructure is installed at your facility within 9 months. Satellite control, tasking, and processing run on your hardware, under your control.
ICEYE delivers comprehensive training for satellite operations, from basic SAR principles through to mission planning and contingency procedures. Your team is prepared to operate independently.
First satellite launch
Your first satellites launch within 12 months of contract signature. ICEYE manages the full launch campaign, from licensing through to deployment in orbit.
Commissioning and handover
ICEYE commissions your satellite and hands over operational control. Your team takes command of a sovereign national asset.
Maintenance and updates
ICEYE provides lifetime technical support for your mission. Satellites receive software updates over the air, delivering new imaging modes, faster processing, and expanded features throughout the system lifecycle.

Federate your fleet
Your satellites. Your control. More coverage when it matters. Federation connects sovereign fleets to unlock capacity on demand without compromising national authority. A single software layer makes allied coordination fast, flexible, and operationally simple.

Europe's security depends on what Europe can see
Constellation Europe: a concept for a federated network of 1,000+ European-owned satellites
Constellation Europe is a concept for a federated architecture of more than 1,000 European-owned satellites, designed to give Europe sovereign, continuous visibility of its security environment. It combines national systems, commercial assets and institutional capabilities into a true system of systems, operated as a single framework. Proposed by ICEYE, it brings together three layers: a multi-sensor sensing layer (SAR, electro-optical, SIGINT) for continuous all-weather coverage; a secure data-transport layer with the low latency defense operations demand; and a sovereign operations layer covering space situational awareness, ground infrastructure, and AI-driven data fusion. National assets stay under national control, but they can be used collectively when Europe needs them. Read the full case in Politico, by ICEYE CEO Rafal Modrzewski.
