Planet expands satellite surveillance for U.S., NATO, and Australia to boost security and monitor maritime threats.
Planet, a commercial satellite company, is expanding its role in global security by providing high-frequency, high-resolution Earth imagery to U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, NATO, and Australia.
With around 600 satellites, including PlanetScope, SkySat, and upcoming Pelican and Tanager constellations, Planet offers daily global coverage at 3–5 meter resolution, with 50-centimeter detail from taskable satellites and 30-centimeter plans ahead.
Its nine-year archive and AI-driven analytics enable detection of subtle changes, supporting defense, environmental, and maritime monitoring.
Australia, facing challenges in monitoring its vast maritime territory, is increasingly relying on Planet’s near-real-time surveillance to enhance intelligence, track threats like illegal fishing or asylum seeker boats, and improve strategic resilience amid growing Indo-Pacific tensions.
