DATA SOURCES

Multi-Source Intelligence Fusion

The PANEO platform integrates diverse data sources across domains, creating a comprehensive intelligence picture that transcends traditional single-source limitations.

The Power of Data Fusion

PANEO's intelligence platform is built on the principle that no single data source can provide complete situational awareness. By integrating multiple complementary sources, we create a comprehensive intelligence picture that reveals insights impossible to obtain from any single source.

  • Domain-Agnostic Sources

    Core data sources that provide foundational intelligence applicable across multiple domains

  • Domain-Specific Sources

    Specialized data sources tailored to provide deep insights within particular operational contexts

  • Cross-Domain Integration

    Advanced correlation algorithms that connect data across sources to reveal hidden relationships and patterns

Tipping and Cueing: Orchestrating Intelligence Collection

A core principle of our platform is "tipping and cueing" - using one sensor system to direct another for optimal intelligence gathering. This approach maximizes efficiency and effectiveness by leveraging the strengths of each source while mitigating their individual limitations.

  • Real-time Monitoring

    Sources like AIS, ADS-B, and RF geolocation provide continuous monitoring capabilities, detecting anomalies and triggering more focused collection by other systems.

  • Precision Localization

    Radar systems and specialized RF geolocation technologies provide precise positional data, directing imagery collection to exact coordinates for maximum effectiveness.

  • Visual Confirmation

    Satellite imagery and SAR provide visual confirmation of targets detected by other systems, validating identities and activities with high confidence.

"The solution to tracking dark targets isn't found in any single technology—it emerges from the intelligent fusion of complementary sources, each addressing different aspects of the challenge. By combining dynamic tracking data with comprehensive static reference information, we create a complete intelligence picture that maintains continuous awareness of non-cooperative targets while understanding the full context of their activities."

Cross-Domain Integration

The true power of PANEO's platform lies in how we connect data sources across domains to create a comprehensive intelligence picture.

Cross-Domain Data Integration

Maritime Domain

In the maritime domain, we integrate AIS, AIS RFGL, Satellite Imagery, SAR Imagery, and X/S Band Radar with static reference data like Maritime Ports, Vessel Details, and Sea Charts to maintain continuous vessel tracking and identify suspicious behavior patterns.

This integration enables detection of dark vessels, sanctions violations, and illegal fishing activities.

Defense & Security

For defense applications, we combine AIS RFGL, ADS-B RFGL, L-Band RFGL, and radar detection with Aircraft Details, Vessel Images, and Air Traffic Maps to provide comprehensive situational awareness across air, land, and sea domains.

This fusion enables tracking of non-cooperative targets and identification of coordinated multi-domain threats.

Critical Infrastructure

To protect offshore platforms and windfarms, we integrate ADS-B, Vessel Radar Detection, X/S Band Radar, and Satellite Imagery with Offshore Locations data to monitor all approach vectors and understand the context of nearby activities.

This holistic approach enables early warning of potential threats from air, surface, and subsurface domains.
