data sheet Features and benefits ■ Scale and sensor-independent algorithms streamline resource costs and expedite data-driven results. □ Detected activity shows deviation from baseline, signifying the need for further investigation ■ Low, moderate and high-resolution sensors (such as Landsat 8, Sentinel-2 and WorldView) offer ample integration between sensor and activities of interest. □ Larger footprint best suited for capturing medium construction, small to medium excavation, large ships and new roads ■ Radar (e.g. Sentinel-1 SAR) persists through consistently cloudy and low- light conditions. □ Non-visible spectra best suited for hard-edged, man-made structures and vehicle detection ■ Smallsats provide persistent coverage with high revisit regularity. □ Smaller footprint best suited for in- depth monitoring and use near small buildings, vehicles and ships ■ Multiple use cases with special interest activity targeted and categorized into distinct groups (and change confirmed with high-resolution imagery). □ Mining, transpiration, utilities, construction, vehicle movement, etc. Frequent Temporal Change (FTC) is a geospatial data layer that uses high- revisit satellite imagery to provide customized tip-offs to areas of continuous change. Analysts use FTC to monitor pattern-of-life in areas and facilities of interest across the globe—allowing them to derive rapid insight into transient and recurring events. FTC is a cost-effective form of persistent surveillance that supports activity-based intelligence (ABI) analysis and more efficient management of analysis resources.
