My plan • KSAT – who we are and what you as an analyst can or cannot do based on commercial satellite imagery? • • • •
About KSAT facilities and possibilities Near real-time input / data to the decision maker A lot of sensors with daily global coverage Examples

To conclude •
KSAT can provide unbiased and vendor-neutral data / intelligence
•
KSAT are 100% focussed on near Real-Time based on our global ground network, processing capabilities and 24/7 operations
•
KSAT has > 20 years experience in delievering fully integrated services (intelligence) to end-users
•
BUT…….. • ”light-weight analysis”
•
Heavy-duty analysis is your baby, remember my questions:
• How can I use commercial satellite imagery in my advanced GIS-analysis and decision support - making? • How can I be the most successful analyst? • The tools and data are out there - start using them! / 42 /
