Tel Aviv: Israeli company ImageSat International (ISI), supplying space-based intelligence solutions, introduced the only satellite delivering real-time movement tracking from orbit.
According to the company, RUNNER’s unique, game-changing capability lifts satellite intelligence from static images to live, actionable answers for defence intelligence customers, and commercial sectors such as urban management, infrastructure monitoring, and disaster response.
Imagesat says that RUNNER, a pioneer of in-orbit embedded AI, has already been operational for more than three years, proving both its reliability and paradigm-shifting value. On-board analysis of movements and In-scene-dynamics enables direct dissemination of critical space-based intelligence within existing operational networks due to the compressed nature of high-level symology, and when space-based agents become members of the warfighter networks, their utilisation shall increase substantially.
As per the company, at the heart of RUNNER’s success is ISI’s unique multi-sensor architecture, industry-leading image stabilisation, and fault-tolerant hardware, all built on decades of operational experience. The platform delivers sub-metre true-colour video and dynamic analytics, with instant mapping and classification even at night or through cloud cover.
According to the company, RUNNER’s advanced embedded AI agents and eight onboard GPU processors enable live analysis of movement types and operational zones within seconds, providing unprecedented insight where timing and context are critical.
The company pointed out that what truly distinguishes ISI is its decades-long proprietary intelligence data archive, accumulated and continuously enhanced by generative AI.
ISI is the world’s first satellite company to deploy generative AI models trained exclusively on its own unique database, turning every observation into an enriched, analyst-ready product tailored for mission reality.
“RUNNER changes the rules for satellite intelligence,” said Noam Segal, CEO of ISI. “For the first time, analysts and operators have instant access to dynamic movement tracking, embedded AI agents, and actual intelligence data, at the speed of operations and tailored for warfighter needs. This capability is a true game changer, expanding real-time intelligence to support mission decisions worldwide,” he added.
