SWIRSAT White Paper

Modern intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) architectures face an evolving crisis of certainty. Environmental degradation—such as smoke, dust, haze, and coastal humidity—coupled with sophisticated adversarial camouflage, routinely blinds traditional visible satellite imagery.

LatConnect 60 is publihsing its comprehensive new white paper detailing how its upcoming SWIRSAT constellation delivers Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) data as a critical, missing decision-support layer to achieve true operational superiority.

Why SWIR Changes the Equation

Operating in the 1000–1750 nm spectrum, SWIR cuts through atmospheric obscuration and interacts with material composition and moisture content rather than light reflection alone.

Supported by public funding from the Australian Space Agency and the Government of Western Australia, LatConnect 60’s SWIRSAT mission delivers a high-resolution, sovereign-aligned data layer to modern ISR with initial launches slated for December 2026 and Q1 2027.

Core Use Cases for Defense & Intelligence

• Maritime Domain Awareness: Pierces sea mist, aerosols, and coastal humidity to capture enhanced vessel wake signatures and movement patterns, closing critical attribution gaps.
• Infrastructure Monitoring: Detects subtle alterations in soil compaction, moisture variance, and surface material states—uncovering concealed supply routes, tracking early site preparation, and revealing camouflage.
• Missile Infrastructure & Post-Strike Assessment: Identifies non-visual logistics indicators and sees through thick smoke and post-event debris to allow rapid, accurate Battle Damage Assessment (BDA).

The SWIRSAT Pre-Order Framework

To allow global defense organizations to align procurement timelines with the upcoming constellation rollout, LatConnect 60 has launched its SWIRSAT Pre-Order Framework. This early-access structure offers strategic advantages including reserved capacity over priority Areas of Interest (AOIs), priority tasking rights, locked-in early pricing, and flexible sovereign delivery pathways.
