One sensor tells you something is there. Three sensors tell you what it's doing. At SATShow Week 2026, experts from Planet, HawkEye 360 and The Aerospace Corporation unpacked what it actually takes to fuse optical imagery, RF, and SAR data into real-time, actionable intelligence — and where the gaps still are. The technology is advancing fast. But the panel was candid about what's holding multi-layer ISR back: space-ground connectivity limits, tasking optimization challenges, and government purchasing strategies that reward what exists rather than pushing for what's possible. The consensus? The commercial sector can get there — but the financial and strategic incentives need to catch up. From tracking maritime vessels to flagging illegal fishing to supporting defense missions, the implications of getting this right are significant. This is one of the defining capability conversations of the decade. This session recap from SATShow Week 2026 is now available. 🎧
