HEO and BAE Systems collaborate to unlock deeper insights from resolved Non-Earth Imagery

SOCET GXP® - Advanced geospatial exploitation and customized product creation, enhanced by HEO's resolved Non-Earth Imagery (NEI).

Sydney, Australia, (May 12, 2025) – Today, HEO and BAE Systems announced a collaboration on an advanced geospatial exploitation solution to provide customers with an integrated view of the space domain. The customized product combines HEO’s resolved Non-Earth Imagery (NEI) with BAE Systems’ newest SOCET GXP® software capability, Non-Earth Registration (NER), which enables sensor model creation, mensuration, and analysis. This innovation allows customers to intuitively create sensor models for HEO’s NEI data and immediately derive insights utilizing SOCET GXP’s proven exploitation capabilities and workflows. 

This collaboration meets growing demand for high quality, actionable, and accurate resolved NEI insights in support of national security, civil, and commercial space operations. Space operators can directly import HEO’s NEI data into SOCET GXP software and make full use of its exploitation and dissemination tools to derive insights on the health, status, and operation of their space vehicles.

“Making our data as accessible and usable as possible is a top priority for us.  Our collaboration with BAE Systems offers our customers flexibility to access our data through their tool of choice,” said Hiranya Jayakody, Co-founder and CTO of HEO. “Previously, our customers accessed our NEI data and products through our HEO Inspect 3.0 web-app. With this integration, customers using the SOCET GXP software solution can leverage a world class suite of data exploitation tools without disrupting current analytic workflows.”

BAE Systems’ GXP software enables rapid discovery, exploitation, and dissemination of mission-critical geospatial data. SOCET GXP users will now have more access to a comprehensive, integrated view of the space domain derived from in-orbit observations, allowing for more informed decision-making and faster response times for various defense and intelligence applications, providing a clear strategic advantage.

“With the introduction of Non-Earth Registration into SOCET GXP and HEO’s high-quality Non-Earth Imagery, we are extending our industry-leading geospatial exploitation capabilities into the space domain,” said Kurt DeVenecia, senior director of GXP product development at BAE Systems. “It empowers analysts to perform precise measurements, analysis, and modeling on NEI with the same level of confidence they expect from terrestrial data. This capability is a critical enabler for space domain awareness, ensuring that our customers have the advanced tools they need to model, monitor, and protect assets in the increasingly dynamic space environment.”
