BAE Systems was selected based on its extensive heritage developing highly capable spacecraft systems and its long-standing partnership supporting the Vantor constellation.<\/p><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/mms.businesswire.com\/media\/20260624377293\/en\/2837879\/5\/Vantor_BAE_Systems_Social_Graphic.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mms.businesswire.com\/media\/20260624377293\/en\/2837879\/22\/Vantor_BAE_Systems_Social_Graphic.jpg\" \/><\/a><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/mms.businesswire.com\/media\/20260624377293\/en\/2837879\/5\/Vantor_BAE_Systems_Social_Graphic.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mms.businesswire.com\/media\/20260624377293\/en\/2837879\/21\/Vantor_BAE_Systems_Social_Graphic.jpg\" \/><\/a><p>\nBuilding on the proven operational performance of Vantor\u2019s WorldView Legion\u00ae satellites and legacy constellation, the Vantor Vantage satellites are designed to collect the most accurate, highest-resolution commercial imagery on orbit. They will integrate advanced technologies designed to increase imagery collection opportunities during each satellite pass, reduce latency, and deliver mission-critical intelligence from space in the low single-digit minutes.<\/p><p>\nVantor Vantage was previously announced as part of Vantor\u2019s planned expansion of its industry-leading imaging satellite constellation. Together with Vantor\u2019s Pulse satellites\u2014a fleet of 40 cm-class satellites designed for high revisit\u2014the expanded architecture will create the first commercial space-based system that combines exquisite, high-resolution imaging with persistent, real-time global monitoring in a unified operational architecture.<\/p><p>\nThe expanded constellation will fuel Vantor\u2019s highly accurate, global-scale 2D and 3D spatial foundation and extend the capabilities of its Tensorglobe\u2122 spatial intelligence platform, which automates the intelligence cycle from tasking through AI-powered analysis to deliver mission-critical insights at the pace of change.<\/p><p>\nTogether, these capabilities will deliver unmatched decision advantage across a range of defense, intelligence, and commercial missions, including persistent site monitoring, real-time command and control, automated mapmaking, and rapid disaster response.<\/p><p>\n\u201cAs demand accelerates for more responsive space-based intelligence, we\u2019re investing in expanding our constellation capabilities to strengthen the spatial foundation that represents our living digital twin of Earth,\u201d said Matt Jenkins, Chief Space Systems Officer at Vantor. \u201cVantage represents the next generation of exquisite imaging from space, and BAE Systems\u2019 proven track record of manufacturing excellence, mission execution, and deep experience supporting world-class imaging programs makes them the right partner to help us build what will be the most capable commercial imaging satellites on orbit.\u201d<\/p><p>\nBy integrating persistent monitoring with high-resolution intelligence collection inside a continuously updated spatial intelligence system, Vantor is building a more responsive operational foundation that can deliver a shared ground truth to both human decision makers and autonomous systems in real-time.<\/p><p>\n\u201cWe are entering a new era of imaging satellite production that is based on a long and successful history of delivering space vehicles for Vantor programs,\u201d said Brad Shogrin, Vice President and General Manager of National Space for BAE Systems Space &amp; Mission Systems. \u201cThe Vantage imaging satellites will provide essential data for critical national and commercial intelligence programs, and we look forward to growing our partnership as we advance to the production phase of these next-generation space vehicles. Vantor features world-class capabilities, and we are excited to once again partner with them on these advanced systems.\u201d<\/p><p>\nTo learn more about Vantor Vantage, visit <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fvantor.com%2Fresources%2Fvantor-vantage-datasheet%2F&amp;esheet=54559165&amp;newsitemid=20260624377293&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=here&amp;index=1&amp;md5=e42987b2234e26a29e0f794722037f67\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">here<\/a>.<\/p><p>\n<b>About Vantor<\/b><\/p><p>\nVantor is forging the new frontier of spatial intelligence to unlock a more autonomous, interoperable world.
