Obtain a new level of situational awareness
ICEYE generates near real-time flood intelligence through a combination of remote sensing satellites, observational ground truth, and sophisticated third-party data sets. Unlike traditional flood modeling, ICEYE creates flood extent and depth analyses globally, using real observation data instead of what-if projections. This allows us to deliver GIS-ready depth, extent, and impact intel your teams can trust.
