With BRO-19, we continue to expand our space-based radio frequency (RF) constellation and strengthen our ability to support ship detection, dark ship detection, and maritime domain awareness at a global scale. Once BRO-19 is deployed, our constellation will reach 20 satellites, reinforcing Unseenlabs’ position as a leader in space-based RF detection.
“With BRO-19, we are continuing the deployment of our constellation. The goal is simple: to help our clients better understand activities at sea, even when information is not declared or is unreliable,” stated Clément Galic, CEO and co-founder of Unseenlabs.
STRENGTHENING SHIP DETECTION AND DARK SHIP DETECTION FROM SPACE
As maritime threats become more complex, reliable vessel detection is more critical than ever. Governments, coast guards, insurers, and commercial operators need better tools to monitor activity at sea, detect suspicious behavior, and identify vessels operating beyond conventional tracking systems.
At Unseenlabs, we use proprietary RF monosatellite technology, meaning each satellite operates independently. Unlike multisatellite systems that depend on several satellites working together, each of our satellites can perform detections on its own.
By detecting radio frequency emissions from space, we provide actionable intelligence on vessel activity at sea. Even when ships switch off their AIS transponders or reduce their visibility, they may still emit RF signals. This allows us to help uncover maritime activity that is more difficult to detect through conventional tracking methods.
WHAT COMES NEXT
The launch of BRO-19 is both a milestone and part of a broader roadmap. Beginning this year, we will deploy our second generation of satellites, extending our capabilities beyond the maritime domain to support monitoring across land and sea.
