Commercial Satellites Hinder Real-Time Sensor Fusion

Defense and intelligence officials and commercial satellite executives at the Satellite Conference this week said commercial Earth observation is failing to deliver operational fused multi-sensor intelligence in near real time. They cited vertically integrated platforms, incompatible formats, metadata and latency that block automated tipping-and-cueing, and a CSIS report 'Golden Insights' warns the market for decision-ready geospatial products remains immature.
