Manage episode 499677465 series 2774033
In today's episode of All Things Policy, Swathi Kalyani, research analyst and Dr. Y. Nithiyanandam, Head of Geospatial Research Program, discuss how today's geopolitical intelligence depends on high-resolution satellite imagery—capable of revealing infrastructure damage and military assets in conflicts like India-Pakistan or Israel-Iran. They talk about how Foreign imagery providers can create vulnerabilities through potential manipulation, access restrictions, or political weaponization, the need for ISRO and indigenous private companies to accelerate domestic satellite development for data sovereignty and how remote sensing data with enhanced spatial and temporal resolution, and AI analytics will strengthen security decision-making, enhance innovation, and establish regional geospatial leadership in our satellite-dependent world.
