ICEYE and Safran.AI have announced a long-term strategic partnership aimed at transforming the landscape of persistent surveillance through cutting-edge, multisensor AI solutions. By combining ICEYE’s world-leading Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite capabilities with Safran.AI’s advanced vision AI technologies, the partnership will empower governments with faster, more accurate geospatial intelligence to support critical defense and intelligence operations.
This collaboration brings together ICEYE’s expertise in operating the largest commercial SAR constellation-with unmatched 25 cm resolution, high revisit rates, and rapid image delivery-with Safran.AI’s proven leadership in vision-based artificial intelligence. The result: a robust, AI-enhanced platform capable of delivering actionable insights in all weather conditions, day or night.
“This partnership with Safran.AI allows us to maximize the value of our SAR data by integrating cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies,” said Rafal Modrzewski, CEO and Co-Founder of ICEYE. “By adding ICEYE SAR imagery to Safran’s analytic capabilities we bring together the industry’s best imagery with the industry’s best multi-sensor image exploitation capability.”

Unifying Space-Based Radar with AI for Defense-Grade Insight
SAR satellite imagery plays a crucial role in modern defense and intelligence missions, particularly for tracking and classifying objects of interest in denied, obscured, or high-risk environments. ICEYE’s next-generation radar technology ensures persistent, high-resolution monitoring regardless of atmospheric or lighting conditions—an indispensable advantage for military situational awareness.
By integrating this SAR imagery with Safran.AI’s real-time data processing and advanced multi-sensor fusion capabilities, the partnership significantly accelerates the intelligence cycle. These AI-driven solutions automatically extract critical insights from complex data streams, supporting time-sensitive decision-making at both strategic and tactical levels.
Expanding Multi-Modal AI for Global Persistent Monitoring
The collaboration further enhances Safran.AI’s ability to work with SAR data, complementing its expertise in electro-optical satellite imagery. This expanded multi-modal approach allows for persistent global surveillance, empowering national governments and defense agencies to make informed, real-time decisions across dynamic operational landscapes.
The announcement also represents a milestone in the ongoing collaboration between the two organizations. Safran already supports ICEYE with its space-to-ground communication systems, enabling rapid transmission of high-resolution imagery for immediate analysis.
