SATIM wins Polish defence ministry contract for automated satellite radar analysis

Nov 12, 2026
The software will detect and classify hundreds of types of vessels, aircraft and vehicles in SAR imagery for Poland's MikroSAR programme.

SATIM has signed a contract with Poland's Ministry of National Defence to supply software that automatically analyses imagery from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites, according to a press release. The procurement was run for ARGUS, Poland's geospatial reconnaissance and satellite services agency.

The system will support Poland's MikroSAR Earth-observation programme. SAR satellites can image at night and through cloud, but their pictures are hard and slow to interpret; SATIM's software automatically detects and classifies hundreds of types of vessels, aircraft and vehicles and produces machine-readable outputs, alerts and reports. It is meant for programmes that draw on national and commercial satellite constellations producing hundreds of images a day.

"Access to SAR imagery is only the first step. The value comes from extracting useful intelligence quickly, consistently and at scale," said CEO Jacek Strzelczyk. The release does not give the contract value.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
