A new European Defence Fund-backed project, MYRIAD, aims to use artificial intelligence with satellite data to improve defence surveillance, according to an email circulated by GMV.
The project is coordinated by GMV and involves nine European partners. It is focused on multi-source satellite image analysis intended to improve the speed and accuracy of geospatial intelligence, with a stated objective of supporting Europe’s technological sovereignty.
MYRIAD plans to combine data from different satellite sensors, including optical and radar systems, and apply AI algorithms to detect and monitor activities in complex environments. The approach is intended to support intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions, including in conditions such as poor weather or low visibility.
The announcement reflects wider European interest in using AI-enabled processing to handle growing volumes of satellite imagery, while reducing reliance on external technology supply chains for defence and security-related analytics.
