Customer data security is a top priority

With a system like SAR-Lupe, data security is the top priority. That is why multi-tenancy was particularly important for the archiving system, ensuring that users within the European network can access only their own data. Nevertheless, our system…

…easily expandable
…expandable to include additional EU countries
…the foundation for EU-wide cooperation in satellite reconnaissance

This will make it possible to integrate additional European partners in the future, with the ultimate goal of establishing a joint EU-wide intelligence network.

High degree of automation

The end user can request the data (with a longer turnaround time, if necessary) and cannot tell whether the data is stored in a high-availability section or a long-term storage archive
Fully automated storage of image data (transition from image data capture to storage)
Automation of archiving from a private cloud to offline storage via robot-controlled transfer to DVD or tape

International teamwork in a highly regulated field

With a team of more than 10 software developers, we were able to advance this international project by leveraging our expertise in software development. To this end, OHB Digital Services developed innovative software that serves as the interface between SAR-Lupe and the FSLGS.

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