How slow intelligence and legacy solutions hurt D&I teams
- Outdated workflows, delayed decisions. Decades-old tasking and delivery processes delay access to vital imagery, slowing time-sensitive decisions when speed is critical.
- Manual steps = mission drag. Traditional systems rely on manual feasibility checks, and complex ordering, creating unnecessary friction between teams and the intelligence they need.
- Offline when it matters most. Some legacy solutions falter under pressure. Constellation outages and system failures risk leaving teens without visibility at the worst possible moment.
Eliminate intelligence delays with On-Demand
BlackSky’s On-Demand service redefines what’s possible for defense and intelligence organizations. On-Demand puts space-based intelligence in your hands quickly, empowering you to stay on top of change. Leaders and analysts get industry-leading delivery timelines for imagery and analytics, flexible control over constellation tasking, and unparalleled access for monitoring the most important places on Earth. On-Demand offers speed, autonomy and capacity, without the bottlenecks.
Ministries of Defense and intergovernmental organizations act faster with BlackSky
India is rapidly building space-based monitoring capabilities to support national security. Through a new initiative with BlackSky and NIBE Space, India now has real time tasking, operational agility and actionable analytics to accelerate strategic objectives.
BlackSky’s On-Demand service also supported an urgent mission for an intergovernmental organization. Teams needed immediate insight to track a miles long convoy navigating IED-laced terrain. Near real-time monitoring helped ensure safe passage – demonstrating how space-based intelligence supports humanitarian and security missions in high-risk environments
Meet Gen-3: the next era of space-based intelligence
Launched in February 2025, BlackSky’s new Gen-3 satellites deliver unmatched speed, detail and agility. With 35 cm imagery, AI-powered analytics and revisit rates as frequently as hourly, defense teams can detect threats, verify actions and adjust strategies in real time. Gen-3 is already exceeding expectations – giving operators the tactical edge to observe react and adapt faster than ever.
The top three reasons D&I organizations choose On-Demand
Rapid delivery for a real-time operating picture
On-Demand imagery and analytics are typically delivered within 90 minutes – and as the Gen-3 constellation expands, delivery will drop to just 60 minutes. AI-powered analytics detect objects like vehicles and track changes over time, delivering real-time situational awareness through the BlackSky Spectra® platform.
Flexible tasking you control
Task satellites directly via BlackSky’s web app or API. Real-time weather-informed feasibility reports let you plan with precision, and priority tiers help secure collections in high demand areas – like conflict zones – ensuring timely intel when it matters most.
Global, persistent monitoring
Monitor borders, ports, facilities and strategic locations worldwide – day or night. Frequent tasking from 60°N to 60°S provides a rich stream of near real-time and archival data to support pattern of life analysis and detect critical changes as they happen.
Take control: unlock On-Demand today
BlackSky On-Demand is more than a subscription — it’s a strategic edge. In a world where timing, precision and autonomy defines success, real-time space-based intelligence puts you ahead.
