SynMax, an intelligence company specializing in geospatial analytics, has secured a pilot project award for maritime automated analytics from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). 

Pilot Project Awarded for Geospatial Maritime Domain Awareness Technology

The pilot project will focus on Theia, SynMax’s advanced geospatial Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) tool.

Theia is enabled by comprehensive maritime data provided by Planet Labs PBC, a strategic satellite data partner, fused with over ten key sources of maritime data and powered by SynMax AI.

The NGA pilot will involve rigorous testing and evaluation of Theia’s capabilities, focusing on its ability to detect, track, and analyze maritime activities in near real-time.

SynMax’s strategic partnership with Planet Labs equips Theia with comprehensive and rapidly evolving satellite data, forming a powerful solution for enhancing maritime domain awareness.

SynMax Founder and CTO, Eric Anderson, commented; “Theia marks a significant leap in MDA technology, delivering actionable intelligence through advanced intelligence fusion, driven by proprietary AI and world-class imagery analysts. This collaboration with NGA represents a pivotal step in advancing national security and maritime safety.”

Brendan Moore, Co-founder and CEO of SynMax, added; “We are honored to be selected by NGA for this critical pilot project. Theia’s innovative intelligence fusion platform will provide essential data and analysis to support NGA’s mission. This achievement underscores our commitment to pushing the boundaries of AI-driven intelligence fusion in order to deliver actionable intelligence to our clients.”
