The Space Domain and 

Earth Observation

Space has enabled critical capabilities in support of the defence and security domains for many years, however it is only relatively recently that it has fired the imagination and gained the focus and investment needed to begin to optimise its potential in these areas within the commercial sector. The term ‘new space’ has gained traction to describe the coming of age for aerospace industry as technology availability and ‘affordability’ make space accessible without a dependence on government support. Much of that focus has been on the upstream, (rocket and satellite technology, communications and sensors), but increased availability and quality of earth observation data has placed new emphasis on the downstream, (manipulating the data, analytics, analysis… the “so what”). Organisationally those companies that can cohere the upstream and downstream are the most successful. With defence and security sectors becoming ever more important stakeholders, understanding their requirements and helping them to navigate what is a relatively novel domain is key to ensuring that commercial capability development is relevant and optimised. With a deep understanding of this dynamic built up over years of experience, IntSight Global can help you develop strong credentials in this expanding area.
