ICEYE, a global leader in SAR satellite operations for Earth Observation, has launched Dwell Precise, a new imaging mode that delivers an impressive 25-centimeter resolution. This new capability builds on the earlier release of Dwell Fine in March 2024 and is based on ICEYE's 1200 MHz radar bandwidth, currently the maximum permitted for commercial satellites.

The Dwell Precise mode combines high-resolution imaging with exceptional data quality, offering the ability to identify smaller objects, such as specific vehicle types or military equipment, without requiring additional intelligence sources. Using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology, ICEYE's satellites can capture detailed images by focusing radar signals on specific areas of the Earth's surface, even penetrating tree cover and foliage.

With the world's largest constellation of SAR satellites, ICEYE first introduced Dwell mode in May 2023. The new Dwell Precise mode, along with Dwell Fine, demonstrates ICEYE's commitment to continually advancing its Earth Observation capabilities for both private and public sector clients.

"Dwell Precise will be the industry's highest fidelity 25 cm product," said John Cartwright, ICEYE's SVP and Head of Data Product. "It adds significant depth to our Dwell product line, allowing customers to identify surface objects and features with far greater clarity, leveraging SAR's day/night and all-weather capabilities."

Eric Jensen, CEO of ICEYE US, added, "The launch of Dwell Precise highlights our ongoing commitment to innovation, ensuring our products meet the evolving needs of our customers."
