Unseenlabs

Unseenlabs is a French space technology provider specialising in maritime surveillance via radio frequency (RF) signal detection. The company designs, builds, and operates its own constellation of nanosatellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). By capturing passive electromagnetic emissions from vessels—such as AIS transponders, radar, and satellite communications—the firm provides maritime domain awareness to governments and commercial entities, identifying ships that have intentionally disabled their mandatory tracking systems. The organisation’s operational capability is built upon its proprietary BRO (Breizh Reconnaissance Orbiter) satellite constellation. Its services are utilised by environmental protection agencies, insurance providers, and naval forces for tasks including the monitoring of illegal fishing, search and rescue coordination, and maritime traffic management. The company maintains launch partnerships with providers such as Arianespace and SpaceX to deploy its growing orbital fleet. Prospective partners should verify the specific spatial resolution and revisit frequency of the constellation in their area of operations, as these are dependent on the current number of active satellites in orbit. Buyers should also evaluate the integration requirements for ingesting raw RF data into existing maritime command-and-control software. It is necessary to confirm that the provider’s data delivery latency meets the specific operational requirements for real-time interception or long-term trend analysis.
