HEO and BAE Systems have announced a collaboration aimed at delivering a comprehensive geospatial exploitation solution that integrates HEO's resolved Non-Earth Imagery (NEI) with BAE Systems' latest SOCET GXP software capability, Non-Earth Registration (NER). This combined approach enables the creation of precise sensor models for HEO's NEI data, enhancing customers' ability to derive critical insights through SOCET GXP's advanced exploitation workflows.

This partnership addresses the increasing demand for high-quality, actionable NEI insights across national security, civil, and commercial space operations. It allows space operators to directly import HEO's NEI data into the SOCET GXP software, facilitating detailed assessments of the health, status, and operations of their space vehicles.

"Making our data as accessible and usable as possible is a top priority for us. Our collaboration with BAE Systems offers our customers flexibility to access our data through their tool of choice," said Hiranya Jayakody, Co-founder and CTO of HEO.

"Previously, our customers accessed our NEI data and products through our HEO Inspect 3.0 web-app. With this integration, customers using the SOCET GXP software solution can leverage a world-class suite of data exploitation tools without disrupting current analytic workflows."

BAE Systems' GXP software suite is known for rapid data discovery, exploitation, and dissemination, providing users with a more integrated view of the space domain. This expanded capability enables faster and more informed decision-making, supporting a wide range of defense and intelligence missions.

"With the introduction of Non-Earth Registration into SOCET GXP and HEO's high-quality Non-Earth Imagery, we are extending our industry-leading geospatial exploitation capabilities into the space domain," said Kurt DeVenecia, senior director of GXP product development at BAE Systems.

"It empowers analysts to perform precise measurements, analysis, and modeling on NEI with the same level of confidence they expect from terrestrial data. This capability is a critical enabler for space domain awareness, ensuring that our customers have the advanced tools they need to model, monitor, and protect assets in the increasingly dynamic space environment."
