Maxar Intelligence has rebranded as Vantor and introduced Tensorglobe, an AI-powered spatial intelligence platform.
The move marks the company’s shift from a satellite imagery provider to a full-spectrum spatial intelligence firm.
Tensorglobe combines data from satellites, aircraft, and ground sensors into a single system, producing a 3D model of the Earth with one-meter (3.3-feet) accuracy.
It is intended to support government and defense programs requiring geospatial intelligence, training, and global monitoring.
The platform is built around three core components: Cortex, which automates the tasking of satellite constellations; Forge, which fuses multi-domain sensor data in real-time; and Nexus, which provides secure environments for hosting and analytics.
Tensorglobe also connects to Vantor Hub, a cloud-based environment that offers on-demand access to spatial intelligence resources.
“We’re witnessing a fundamental shift in how governments and businesses need to understand and interact with the physical world,” said Dan Smoot, CEO of Vantor, adding that static satellite imagery is no longer enough to provide the level of insight users require.
“Our customers need real-time intelligence … to ensure that autonomous platforms can effectively navigate in the air and the ground [and] military units gain full command and control of the battlespace.”
AI-Driven Initiatives
Over the past six months, the company has rolled out several AI-enabled solutions that extend its spatial intelligence capabilities.
The Raptor platform integrates 3D terrain data with drone-mounted cameras, allowing autonomous navigation and target coordinate extraction without the need for GPS.
Sentry, another new system, delivers persistent global site monitoring by combining automated tasking across multiple satellite constellations with AI-driven data fusion and analytics.
Vantor has also moved to integrate its technologies into operational systems through partnerships with defense and commercial firms. These include work on Anduril’s mixed reality combat system for the US Army’s SBMC-A program, as well as collaborations with Saab and Taiwan’s AIDC to field mission-ready solutions.
