Innovative Signal Exploitation for Geospatial Intelligence

This workshop aims to bring together the scientific community and industry working on advanced processing techniques for spaceborne systems with the goal of fostering scientific exchange, accelerating innovation, and supporting the exploitation of emerging capabilities for the characterization of moving targets, sensor fusion, and AI-driven analytics in defense, security, and geointelligence applications. The event will focus on cutting-edge methods for high-resolution SAR imaging, long-dwell and time-resolved observation, multichannel and multistatic configurations, interferometric and tomographic techniques, AI-driven processing, and the integration of SAR with multisource capabilities. A session on new algorithms exploiting optical imagery will be included as well. The applications addressed in this workshop are expected to extend beyond traditional EO techniques and explicitly encompass domains related to security, situational awareness, and geospatial intelligence. Particular emphasis will be placed on methodologies that enhance the ability to detect, characterize, and monitor critical dynamics — such as activities around strategic infrastructures, ground and maritime moving targets, and rapid environmental or anthropogenic changes.
