Satellogic and SynMax Partner to Bring Persistent Global Intelligence to Defense Customers
Satellogic Inc. (NASDAQ: SATL), the infrastructure company for Persistent Global Intelligence, and SynMax, a multi-intelligence applied-AI analytics company, today announced a strategic collaboration to develop and deliver AI-powered geospatial intelligence products for defense and intelligence customers.
The strategic collaboration pairs SynMax's agentic intelligence layer with Satellogic's growing constellation, including its existing high-resolution satellites, on-satellite AI, and the forthcoming Merlin constellation, which is designed to deliver comprehensive global coverage at one-meter resolution as the network expands, beginning with its first launch in October 2026.
Persistent Global Intelligence enables a seamless, end-to-end intelligence loop. As one of the inaugural partners building on Satellogic’s infrastructure, SynMax delivers intelligence layers for the defense and intelligence mission, fusing Satellogic's collection with additional sources to help customers detect change, eliminate coverage gaps, and act on what matters at scale.
The collaboration responds to accelerating demand from defense, intelligence, and commercial customers shifting from one-off imagery purchases to persistent monitoring programs. By combining high-frequency observation with AI-powered intelligence fusion, the companies aim to shorten the path from observation to decision across mission-critical use cases, including terrestrial domain awareness, infrastructure and border monitoring, and pattern-of-life analysis.
“Earth observation is shifting from collecting images to delivering continuous intelligence, and that shift requires infrastructure designed for it from the ground up,” said Emiliano Kargieman, CEO and Co-Founder of Satellogic. “SynMax is exactly the kind of analytics partner that turns Persistent Global Intelligence into decisions customers can act on. Combining our infrastructure with SynMax’s applied AI allows us to reach further into the operational problems our defense, intelligence, and commercial customers need solved.”
“For too long, the warfighter has had to know exactly where to look before a satellite could help them,” said Eric Anderson, CEO of SynMax. “This partnership changes that. Satellogic's constellation gives us daily coverage of the entire planet at one-meter resolution, and SynMax fuses it with the full range of intelligence sources to surface the threats no one thought to task. We don't hand the mission pixels to sort through. We give them the answer, in time to act.”
The two companies are already collaborating on joint customer pursuits and product development, and expect to share additional details on specific offerings and milestones in the months ahead, including activities aligned with the launch of the first Merlin satellite later this year.
