Your Guide to the Vantor Product Architecture

Vantor Product Architecture.png

Vantor has officially rebranded from Maxar Intelligence, marking an important moment in our transformation from a satellite imagery and analytics provider to a software-driven spatial intelligence company that unifies sensor-based intelligence across space, air, and ground.

As part of this transformation, we've productized our core operational technologies and unveiled an expanded product architecture designed to deliver a more intuitive customer experience.

This article serves as a quick guide to this new architecture. Whether you're an existing customer who's looking to understand how the new architecture maps to the products you use or someone who's interested in learning more about how our products can fuel your mission, you're in the right place.

The Vantor™ Product Architecture

Our product offering is built around four core pillars:

  • Real-time Tasking: Our WorldView™ products give you access to on-demand tasking of Vantor's constellation, including daily access to ~7 million sq km of the most accurate highest-resolution Earth imagery, synthetic aperture radar imagery from Umbra, and space imagery of any object in Earth's orbit.
  • Dynamic Foundation: Vantor's Vivid™ Mosaic 2D basemaps, Vivid Terrain 3D data, and Vivid Features vector maps provide the highly accurate spatial foundation you need for any mission. These products integrate automated change detection capabilities to intelligently task new imagery and update this global foundation at the pace of change.
  • Mission Solutions: Raptor™ and Sentry™ combine Vantor's tasking, spatial foundation, and platform products for specific missions, with a focus on unlocking GPS-denied operations and predictive intelligence at global scale.
  • Spatial Intelligence Platform: Vantor's Tensorglobe™ platform productizes our operational technologies, providing you with the tools you need to build your own automated, end-to-end spatial intelligence system. Tensorglobe also powers the Vantor Hub, a cloud-based environment giving you on-demand access to Vantor's tasking and foundation products.

Tensorglobe: Eliminate intelligence siloes across space, air, and ground

The Tensorglobe spatial intelligence platform is at the heart of our transformation. This platform is built on a proprietary suite of software tools that drive our own spatial intelligence capabilities, and we're now making them available to all customers.

The platform can fuse data from any visual sensor across space, air, and ground (think satellites, drones, ground assets) with Vantor's 3D spatial foundation to create a living digital twin of Earth that has a 3-meter accuracy in all dimensions. This living globe, as we call it, is even capable of accurately extracting ground coordinates with 1-meter accuracy.

The platform's three core software components drive automation across every part of the spatial intelligence cycle:

  • Cortex™: AI-powered multi-constellation orchestration software that improves space-based intelligence collection efficiency.
  • Forge™: Real-time sensor fusion and automated production of 2D and 3D maps.
  • Nexus™: Sitting at the core of the Tensorglobe platform, Nexus securely hosts spatial content from every source and provides private access via both applications and APIs.

Deployable in the cloud, on your premises, or at the operational edge, the Tensorglobe platform connects all your hardware and software systems to a highly accurate, AI-ready living globe and drives automation across your operation to update and analyze that intelligence at the pace of change.
