C/X-Band Benefits (1/2) Complementing Sentinel-1 with TSX/PAZ Synergies between Sentinels and the Contributing Missions C/X-Band Benefits (1/2) Ship classification Complementing Sentinel-1 with TSX/PAZ Combine data-sets to meet revisit & coverage requirements (taking benefit of similar information content in C and X-Band) Cross-cue sensors using Sentinel-1 large area coverage with TSX/PAZ high resolution to identify small objects, e.g. icebergs, ridges, gaps in maritime environment or perform infrastructure integrity monitoring on land Support to defence driven requirements: Maritime: ship detection, search & rescue Terrestrial: site monitoring (IMINT/GEOINT) Support to non-defence driven requirements Maritime: ice monitoring/ship routing Terrestrial: law enforcement/risk awareness: oil/gas/minerals exploitation, infrastructure integrity Airplane classification Ice detection Surface Movement 15 January 2014

C/X-Band Benefits (2/2) C/X Band Operational Benefit Synergies between Sentinels and the Contributing Missions C/X-Band Benefits (2/2) C/X Band Operational Benefit Sentinel TSX/TDX/PAZ Complementarity Increased coverage and monitoring frequency Additional Information Combining different resolution and C/X Band content Ship Increased coverage and added capacity to survey large areas worldwide Ship detection with S-1 and ship classification with TSX in the same area Surface Movement Provision of a high monitoring frequency Large scale movement rates (S-1) Small scale detailed movements (TSX) Disaster Warning, Fracking, Pipeline monitoring GEOINT/ IMINT Increased scene density CCD for smaller objects, detection of smaller targets Agriculture Increased coverage Improves yield estimation Forest Quick coverage to cover in acquisition window Detection of crown disturbance 15 January 2014
