INFERNO

💎 Idea

Military intelligence is critical in modern conflicts, but democratic and allied nations often face limited defense budgets. Optimizing resources is essential to gaining an advantage over adversaries with superior resources. Current defense GEOINT relies on labor-intensive manual analysis, making it costly, slow, and inefficient.

INFERNO (Integrated Network for Field Evaluation and Reconnaissance Navigation Operations) automates GEOINT analysis using AI and Copernicus satellite data.

How It Works:

• Automated Detection: AI identifies tanks and military assets in satellite imagery.
• Predictive Analytics: The system forecasts enemy movements, offering a strategic edge.
• Resource Optimization: Automation reduces human workload, cutting costs and improving efficiency.
• Real-Time Insights: Delivers actionable intelligence quickly and reliably.

INFERNO enables smarter decision-making, cost savings, and strategic superiority, ensuring democratic nations stay ahead in modern conflicts.

🛰️ EU space technologies

INFERNO, leverages advanced EU space technologies, specifically Copernicus Earth Observation data, with plans for future integration with the IRIDE constellation, to revolutionize defense geospatial intelligence.

Data Sources:

1. Copernicus Satellite Imagery: High-resolution Earth observation data from Copernicus satellites forms the backbone of our system. This imagery provides critical visual information for detecting military activity, such as tank movements and infrastructure changes.
2. Future Integration with IRIDE: The planned IRIDE constellation, with its focus on high-frequency, multi-sensor data, will enhance our system's ability to deliver near-real-time intelligence, improving situational awareness and predictive capabilities.

  EU Space for Defence and Security

Challenge #1:  Enhancing defence & security with geospatial intelligence

How INFERNO Contributes:

• Automates detection of military threats using Copernicus data, improving efficiency and reducing costs.
• Strengthens EU defense autonomy by leveraging and showcasing EU space technologies.
• Enhances situational awareness and decision-making, providing allies with a tactical edge.
