Focus on the security of customer data

With a system like SAR-Lupe, data security is the most important thing. That's why multi-client capability was particularly important for the archiving system, so that users in the European network can only access their own data. Nevertheless, our system is...

  • ...easily expandable

  • ...expandable for other EU countries

  • ...Foundation stone for EU-wide cooperation in satellite reconnaissance

This means that other European partners can also be integrated in the future in order to ultimately establish an EU-wide joint reconnaissance network.

High degree of automation

  • The end user can request the data (possibly with increased provisioning time) and does not see whether the data is stored in a highly available part or a long-term storage archive

  • Fully automated storage of image data (transition from image data acquisition to storage)

  • Automation of archiving from private cloud to offline storage via robot-controlled transfer to DVD or tape

International teamwork in a highly regulated area

With a team of more than 10 software developers, we managed to advance the international project with our expertise in software development. For this purpose, OHB Digital Services developed innovative software that establishes the interface between SAR-Lupe and FSLGS.

  • Development of Windows services and the bilingual graphical user interface in English and French

  • Involvement of certified external experts for maintenance

Technologies used

  • C# for software development

  • ClearQuest for error tracking
