Aircraft detection that reduces false alarms.

TOWER finds aircraft, helicopters and large ground vehicles in optical satellite imagery so they are not mistaken for ground change.

Aircraft detected on an apron

Why it matters

Busy aprons are hard for ground monitoring.

Aircraft and vehicles move between satellite passes. Without accounting for them, a busy apron can look like changing ground. TOWER detects aircraft and takes them into account when it flags cells.

  • Finds aircraft, helicopters and large vehicles with oriented bounding boxes
  • Reduces false alarms in AI screening
  • Gives teams more confidence in the priority list

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why does TOWER detect aircraft?

To reduce false alarms. Aircraft parked on aprons change the satellite signal and could otherwise be read as ground change.

Is aircraft detection a separate product?

No. It is part of the TOWER platform and feeds the AI screening that produces the priority list.

Let’s run a PoC together.

We hope to start with public satellite data at your airport: no equipment, a screening report first, then field checks with your team.
