This marks the first official collaboration between NATO HQ and ICEYE, enhancing NATO’s access to advanced Earth observation capabilities. The partnership reflects the growing importance of commercial space technologies in defence and national security operations.
The Finnish company operates the world’s largest SAR satellite constellation, capable of capturing high-resolution imagery regardless of weather or lighting conditions. ICEYE’s technology offers ground resolution down to 25 centimetres, aiding in precise object detection and situational analysis.
Pekka Laurila, Chief Strategy Officer and Co-Founder of ICEYE, said: “ICEYE provides high-accuracy SAR satellite imaging and data to support situational awareness and decision making in defence and security settings. We are proud of the opportunity to cooperate and support NATO users and decision-makers with data from the world’s largest SAR satellite constellation, owned and operated by ICEYE.”
ICEYE has previously worked with multiple NATO allied and partner nations, supplying both data and satellite assets. Today’s agreement further strengthens ICEYE’s role as a trusted partner in the defence and intelligence sectors.
