Providing near real-time maritime insight from satellite imagery and extrinsic data

A method of providing a comprehensive near real-time maritime intelligence, within a predetermined area of interest, based at least partially on satellite imagery is provided herein. The method may include the following stages: applying operational analysis and a multi-sensor mission planning, to generate a coverage plan required for satellite coverage; receiving a plurality of acquired data from multiple sensors located on satellites and sensors located terrestrially, based on the coverage plan, wherein the acquired data is non-continuous over time; applying data verification, data extraction, data fusion and insight deduction on said received data, to produce near real-time data on specified maritime vessels, within said predetermined area of interest; producing a fused traffic analysis report comprising N fused, real world maritime images, such that the data verification, data extraction, data fusion and the insight deduction compensate for time gaps low image quality due to the non-continuous nature of the satellite imagery.
