Defence, Security & Intelligence – Special DSI Projects

Our Special Projects Service is a discreet, high-assurance offering designed to deliver bespoke AI, machine learning, and computer vision solutions for the most demanding defence applications in the space domain. We specialise in developing bespoke advanced analytics workflows that fuse data from multiple satellite operators, sensors, and resolutions—creating specialised intelligence outcomes that are operationally mission-critical and technically unmatched. While the full extent of our capabilities cannot be disclosed, our clients know: we deliver results others cannot.

Service Objectives

Our service objectives are tightly aligned with operational needs. We deliver bespoke AI/ML models, tailored to mission-specific requirements, data types and operational constraints. We fuse complex data ecosystems by integrating multi-source, multi-sensor, and multi-resolution satellite data into unified analytics pipelines. To enable strategic advantage, we provide actionable insights at speed and scale, even across contested or denied environments. And we ensure sovereign control by transferring full ownership of models, workflows, and IP to defence clients under secure protocols.

Core Capabilities

  1. Custom AI/ML Model Development
  • Object detection, classification, and tracking across EO, SAR, IR, and hyperspectral imagery
  • Change detection and anomaly identification in dynamic environments
  • Pattern-of-life analysis and predictive modelling
  • AI/ML model optimisation for edge, cloud, or hybrid deployment
  1. Multi-Sensor Data Fusion
  • Integration of commercial, sovereign, and allied satellite data
  • Harmonisation of spatial, spectral, and temporal resolutions
  • Cross-domain fusion with RF, SIGINT, and open-source intelligence
  • Near-real-time and historic analytics pipelines
  1. Secure IP Transfer and Sovereign Enablement
  • Full transfer of source code, model weights, training data (where permitted), and documentation
  • Compliance with MOD and UK export control regulations
  • Support for in-house sustainment, retraining, and capability evolution
  1. Operational Integration and Support
  • Deployment into existing ISR and GEOINT platforms
  • API development and system integration
  • Embedded support during trials, exercises, and live operations
  • Post-deployment assurance and performance tuning

Why Earth-i?

We bring unmatched expertise, with a proven track record in delivering classified, high-impact AI/ML solutions for defence and intelligence clients. Our mission-aligned innovation means we don’t just build models, we build outcomes that matter. We are discreet by design, with our most powerful capabilities known only to those who need to know. And we are sovereign by default, empowering clients with full control, transparency, and independence.

Use Cases

  • Persistent surveillance and activity monitoring across denied areas
  • Broad area monitoring
  • Tactical ISR support with real-time object detection and alerting
  • Strategic intelligence generation from historical and live satellite archives

Security and Compliance

All Special Projects are delivered under strict security protocols, with personnel cleared to appropriate levels. We operate in full compliance with MOD, NATO, and allied security frameworks, ensuring lawful, ethical, and secure delivery of sensitive technologies.
