An independent layer of naval awareness.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n
\n

Theia detects and monitors military vessels using satellite imagery across the world’s oceans: surface combatants, aircraft carriers, submarines when surfaced or at shallow depth, and naval auxiliaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military vessels rarely broadcast AIS during operations, so conventional tracking is limited to cooperative signals and public reporting, both incomplete by design. Theia supplements classified sources with open-source, commercially available satellite intelligence that allies, partners, and analysts can share and reference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

SAR Detection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

High-resolution optical imagery enables classification and identification of vessel type, size, and configuration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

03 \/ Monitor<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Continuous Monitoring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Detections are timestamped, geolocated, and cataloged across strategic waterways, naval operating areas, and chokepoints.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

OSINT Verification<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Satellite ground truth for open-source analysis.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Open-source intelligence is increasingly important for governments, analysts, and journalists tracking naval activity. When reports surface of naval movements, fleet exercises, or vessel transits through strategic waterways, Theia’s imagery and detection data offer an independent way to verify or contradict those claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For agencies that need to corroborate classified reporting with open-source evidence, or for analysts working entirely in the open-source space, Theia provides the satellite ground truth that OSINT depends on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
