Hanwha Systems Unveils 'Space AI Solution' for Real-Time Satellite Image Analysis

Debut in Overseas Market at Poland's MSPO
Real-Time Analysis of EO and SAR Imagery with AI
Integration with Strike Systems Like K9 and Cheonmu Planned

Hanwha Systems has unveiled its 'Space AI Solution,' which analyzes satellite imagery in real time using artificial intelligence (AI), for the first time in overseas markets.

Hanwha Systems announced on the 10th that it held a Space AI Solution launch event at 'MSPO 2026,' a defense industry exhibition held in Kielce, Poland, on the 9th (local time). During the event, the company demonstrated how AI analyzes satellite images of Eastern Europe, captured by operational satellites, in real time.

The Space AI Solution is a technology in which AI interprets and analyzes imagery data transmitted from various satellites to ground stations, extracting the necessary information. It performs automated object detection, situation pattern analysis, and anomaly detection, providing a unified system that covers everything from satellite image acquisition to analysis and decision-making support.

In military situations, it can be used to track military facilities, troops, and equipment movements, while in disaster or crisis scenarios, it can analyze building and terrain changes to assess the scale of damage.

It also supports integrated analysis of electro-optical (EO) satellite imagery and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite imagery. SAR satellites can capture images regardless of weather conditions or time of day, but due to the monochrome radar characteristics, interpretation is challenging. Hanwha Systems explained that by leveraging AI, they can rapidly identify aircraft, ships, and vehicles within SAR imagery and enhance analysis accuracy by fusing it with EO imagery.

Hanwha Systems plans to apply this solution to its own small SAR satellites with resolutions of 1 meter, 0.5 meter, and 0.25 meter, as well as to an ultra-high-resolution 0.15 meter-class very low Earth orbit (VLEO) SAR satellite currently under development.

An interface has also been implemented to connect with Hanwha's strike and fire direction control (FDC) systems, including the K9 self-propelled howitzer and Cheonmu multiple launch rocket system. The goal is to reduce the time from reconnaissance to strike by linking satellite reconnaissance data directly to strike systems.

A Hanwha Systems official stated, "By conducting integrated analysis of EO and SAR satellite imagery, we are converting satellite data into reconnaissance and tactical information." He added, "We will continue to build a space-to-ground convergence infrastructure by connecting ultra-low Earth orbit SAR satellites and the Space AI Data Center."
