GEOINT Solutions for Flood, Subsidence, Maritime Domain Awareness
All-weather, high-resolution radar imagery (SAR) for critical insight across transportation, mining, engineering, utilities, and local government sectors in Australia and the Pacific.
Orbivis Advisory, as Synspective’s regional referral agent, connects Australian clients with cutting-edge satellite-based Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) solutions for infrastructure health monitoring, land disturbance, and post-disaster mapping. Whether you’re assessing slope stability, tailings dams, or flood-impacted assets, SAR provides the accuracy and frequency to monitor what matters — day or night, through cloud cover.
Powered by Synspective’s advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite constellation.
Industries:
Transportation, Airports, Mining, Urban transportation, utilities (pipelines, substations, water tanks)
Land & Infrastructure Disturbance Monitoring
Detect millimetre-scale movement across built and natural terrain.
Use Cases:
Rail and highway subsidence
Runway and taxiway deformation
Dam and tailings wall monitoring
Tunnel and metro line integrity
Long-term structural monitoring
Slope movement and erosion risk
Monitor land deformation and infrastructure shifts with millimetre-level precision using space-based SAR technology — ideal for long-term slope stability, tunnel subsidence, and structural health monitoring.

Demo video
Quickly assess flood-affected areas with wide-area radar snapshots.
Flood Mapping & Post-Disaster Assessment
Use Cases:
Rapid post-cyclone flood extent mapping
Monitoring floodwaters near substations or water/sewer assets (utilities)
Impact validation for insurance, council or emergency services
Detection of lingering flood zones in inaccessible regions
Tracking changes in riverbanks or wetlands over time
SAR cuts through cloud cover to deliver flood maps even during bad weather — ideal for emergency responders and councils.
Gain near-real-time insight into flood extent and impact using satellite radar data that cuts through clouds, day or night. When every hour counts, radar satellites deliver flood maps fast — no drones, no flyovers, just immediate visibility into affected zones. Ideal for emergency response, asset protection, and post-disaster
Industries:
Local and state government, emergency services, civil and infrastructure engineering, utilities (water, energy, telecommunications), insurance, agriculture, and environmental and catchment management authorities.

Industries:
This capability benefits offshore wind power developers, wind farm operators and managers, and environmental assessment firms by enabling better site selection, operational efficiency, and environmental impact monitoring.
Offshore Wind and Wave (OWW)
Measures of wind speed information over a wide area
Use Cases:
Measures wind speeds across wide ocean areas
Monitors disaster impacts on target and surrounding sites
Optimizes turbine placement using wind variation dataUses archive data to track and map long-term patterns
Offers high-quality, cost-effective measurements
Choosing the right locations for offshore wind turbines is vital, yet collecting onsite data is expensive and difficult. SAR satellites solve this by providing high-resolution wind measurements around 10 m above the sea surface, while also revealing surrounding terrain and the influence of nearby wind farms. This detailed, wide-area view supports smarter site selection and more efficient operations and maintenance.

GEOINT & Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA)
Persistent maritime and border intelligence across oceans, ports, and airspace
Use Cases:
Vessel Monitoring - Detect and track vessel movements across Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs), shipping lanes, and coastal waters.
Dark Ship Detection - Identify vessels operating with AIS switched off or engaged in spoofing activities.
Illegal Vessel Tracking - Monitor and flag vessels engaged in smuggling, illegal fishing, or unauthorized entry.
Persistent Port and Airport Monitoring - Observe activity patterns at major ports and airports, supporting border security and logistics assurance.
Disaster & Incident Response - Rapid situational awareness for oil spills, maritime accidents, or port disruptions.
Satellite-based GEOINT provides continuous monitoring of vessels, ports, and airports across vast maritime zones. By combining Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) with advanced analytics, Orbivis delivers actionable insights for defence, border protection, and commercial operators.
Capabilities include detecting vessels operating without AIS, identifying illegal or suspicious activities, and enabling persistent surveillance of critical trade and transport hubs.
