Intelligence Modules β Honest & Actionable
We focus on what satellites do best: tracking changes over weeks and months β not real-time surveillance.
π₯ FireGuard
Detects fires >1 hectare using MODIS/VIIRS. Updates every 3β6 hours when satellite passes.
Limitations:
β’ Can't detect fires <2.5 acres
β’ 30β60% false positives from industrial sources
β’ Smoke may obscure next images
πΎ CropWatch
NDVI analysis from Landsat/Sentinel. 30m resolution. Ideal for fields >5 acres.
Limitations:
β’ Updates every 5β16 days (weather dependent)
β’ Cannot identify specific diseases
β’ Shows trends, not real-time conditions
π’ MarineWatch
AIS vessel tracking (5β10 min updates). Tracks vessels >300 tons.
Limitations:
β’ AIS is self-reported (not guaranteed)
β’ Small vessels often donβt have AIS
β’ Vessel can turn off AIS
