Case Study: Beyond ADS-B: How Atlas and Aireon VECTOR Flight Revealed Position Anomalies During a Flight Across Iranian Airspace
Overview Modern aircraft tracking relies heavily on ADS-B position reports, delivering unprecedented visibility across the globe through satellite-based surveillance networks. However, in regions where GNSS performance may be degraded or where navigation environments become more challenging, analysts often need additional tools to assess the reliability of reported aircraft positions. This case study demonstrates how Atlas,...Continue reading→
Case Study: Investigating Suspected GNSS Degradation
The Atlas approach Analysts first used Atlas to review aircraft operating within the area of interest. Three aircraft were identified for further examination. Using the Aircraft Details page, analysts reviewed: ADS-B signal quality indicators VECTOR-derived positioning Historical aircraft behaviour Recent flight activity The analysis quickly showed that only one of the three aircraft was reporting...Continue reading→

Modelling Sea Level Rise and Storm Surge Risk for Coastal Resilience
Geospatial Intelligence conducted a sea level rise and storm surge modelling assessment for a coastal region comprising multiple cities. Using Earth Observation data, the analysis identified high-risk coastal zones and evaluated the potential impact of extreme storm surge scenarios. The insights enable local governments to strengthen emergency planning, protect critical infrastructure, and guide long-term climate adaptation strategies.Continue reading→
Orchard Management Using Satellite-Based Tree Health Detection
Geospatial Intelligence conducted a remote sensing assessment for an Australian orchard to identify unhealthy or damaged trees at scale. Using satellite imagery and NDVI analysis, the project produced a detailed tree health classification map, accuracy report, and geospatial outputs for operational use. The insights allow the orchard to detect issues earlier, improve decision making, and support long term productivity and orchard health.Continue reading→
The Link Between Rice and Terrorism
Geospatial Intelligence analysed patterns of improvised explosive device (IED) incidents in an Asian region to uncover the drivers behind recurring spikes in violence. By combining OSINT sources with temporal analysis, the study revealed a strong link between IED activity and the agricultural cycle, particularly during months when rice is not harvested. These insights support more targeted prevention strategies, including socio-economic programs and improved planning for security and travel risk management.Continue reading→
