Problem
Traditional Earth observation methods using satellites or manned aircraft are often expensive, infrequent, and lack the real-time capabilities needed for timely decision-making. Existing solutions may also struggle to provide high-resolution data over wide geographical areas, limiting their effectiveness for applications requiring detailed monitoring.
Solution
SkySense offers a network of high-altitude platform stations (HAPS) that provide wide-area, real-time Earth observation at a lower cost than conventional methods. These airship-type HAPS are deployed across Japan to deliver high-resolution data for various applications. The company's solution enables continuous, fixed-point observation with high resolution and real-time data delivery at an affordable price point.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes organizations and government entities requiring frequent, wide-area Earth observation data, such as those involved in disaster management, agriculture, infrastructure monitoring, and environmental conservation.
Features
- Airship-type high-altitude platform stations (HAPS) for persistent aerial observation
- Wide-area coverage enabling monitoring of large geographical regions
- Real-time data delivery for timely insights and decision-making
- High-resolution imaging capabilities for detailed analysis
- Fixed-point observation for continuous monitoring of specific locations
