On Thursday, September 4, 2025, the third day of the 33rd International Defence Industry Exhibition MSPO at Targi Kielce, the Polish-Finnish company ICEYE and the Research and Development Center for Maritime Technology (OBR CTM), part of the Polish Armaments Group (PGZ), signed a letter of intent expressing their intention to cooperate on integrating SAR satellite data with tools developed under the Digital Baltic project.

Digital Baltic is a solution dedicated to critical infrastructure operators and state institutions, designed to support the rapid processing and exchange of large sets of diverse, unconnected data. The platform integrates data from both civilian and governmental partners, supporting decision-making processes through effective information sharing and analysis. The architecture and development of this solution are the responsibility of OBR CTM, a company belonging to the Polish Armaments Group.
“The key to ensuring security in the Baltic Sea today is not merely possessing data, but the ability to rapidly select and skillfully process it. In the Digital Baltic project, we aim to integrate information from various sources: from acoustic sensor networks, through fleets of unmanned platforms, to satellite data. As a result, we are building the capability for proactive protection of critical infrastructure, which is essential for Poland’s economic interests and national security,” said Marcin Wiśniewski, President of the Management Board of OBR CTM.
“OBR CTM is already the second PGZ company, after Military Communication Works No. 1, to strengthen cooperation with ICEYE. The strong momentum of our first joint project demonstrated the potential in this relationship. We are committed to working with the most innovative technology companies to jointly develop solutions that will enhance the resilience of Poland’s critical infrastructure against new types of threats, including hybrid ones. At the same time, this is one of many projects carried out by PGZ with the security of the Baltic Sea region in mind,” said Jan Grabowski, Vice President of the Management Board of the Polish Armaments Group (MSPO 2024: PGZ, WZŁ-1, and ICEYE Poland Demonstrate Mobile ISR Satellite Reconnaissance Platform).
ICEYE has declared its readiness to contribute its unique expertise in maritime monitoring to the initiative. The company has been developing technologies and tools in this field for years, and its latest solution, the Scan Wide imaging mode, was created for the observation of vast areas. This technology enables effective monitoring of maritime activity, detection of vessels, control of key regions, and identification of potential threats. The foundation of these capabilities is the company’s world’s largest constellation of SAR satellites, which provides regular, weather-independent access to data necessary for effective and continuous surveillance (ICEYE Expands SAR Imaging Capabilities with the Introduction of Scan Wide Mode).
“The ICEYE satellite constellation is a powerful tool for protecting critical infrastructure and monitoring strategic areas. At CTM, we have found a partner who shares our deep understanding of the needs of the maritime domain. We are pleased that through this cooperation we can make a real contribution to the protection of the Baltic Sea and resources vital to the security of Poland and the European Union,” said Rafał Modrzewski, CEO and co-founder of ICEYE.
“Combining our technology and experience with CTM’s expertise opens up entirely new possibilities for monitoring the situation in the Baltic. We have had very positive experiences working with PGZ and its subsidiaries, which is why we look forward with optimism to the development of this project. We are ready to enrich it with an additional layer of data from our satellites,” added Witold Witkowicz, President of ICEYE Poland.
For CTM, the inclusion of SAR satellite data in the Digital Baltic project will enhance its potential by enabling the observation of vast maritime areas regardless of time of day or weather conditions. This will complement other data used by the system. The fusion of data from different sources is the foundation of effective monitoring of maritime activity, allowing for the early detection of anomalies and potential threats to strategic critical infrastructure such as offshore wind farms, pipelines, and submarine telecommunications cables.
