From orbit to action.

AI-Powered Satellite Detection and Early Warning for Natural Disasters

OrbiVigil fuses thermal, optical, radar and weather satellite data into a single confidence-scored picture of unfolding disasters — wildfire, flood, storm, landslide and seismic impact — so agencies and insurers can act on verified events, not raw pixels.

Status: OrbiVigil Fire is in active development, with France and the European Union as the first coverage region.

How it works

From orbit to action in four steps

Every hazard product runs the same pipeline: raw satellite signal in, a verified, decision-ready picture out.

  1. 1

    Detect

    Thermal, optical and radar sensors flag anomalies — a hotspot, a rising water level, ground deformation — within minutes of satellite overpass.

  2. 2

    Fuse

    Multiple independent sources are cross-checked against each other and against known false-alarm sources to produce one confidence-scored event, not scattered pixels.

  3. 3

    Forecast

    A physics-informed digital twin projects how the event will evolve — fire spread, flood extent, storm track — with uncertainty made explicit, not hidden.

  4. 4

    Act

    Analysts validate the picture and OrbiVigil issues CAP-compliant alerts and decision-support briefings to authorities, insurers and response teams.

Products

One fusion engine, seven hazard products

Every OrbiVigil product shares the same detection, fusion and alerting core — only the sensors and models are hazard-specific.

  • OrbiVigil Fire

    In development

    Wildfire detection, spread forecasting and aerial decision support, from ignition to containment.

  • OrbiVigil Flood

    Planned

    Flood extent mapping and early warning from SAR imagery and hydrological forecasts.

  • OrbiVigil Storm

    Planned

    Storm tracking and impact forecasting from ensemble weather models and lightning data.

  • OrbiVigil Landslide

    Planned

    Ground-deformation monitoring and rainfall-triggered landslide risk mapping.

  • OrbiVigil Seismic

    Planned

    Earthquake impact mapping and ground-deformation monitoring — impact intelligence, not prediction.

  • OrbiVigil Impact

    Planned

    Copernicus EMS-grade post-event damage assessment for insurers and responders.

  • OrbiVigil Alerts

    Planned

    Unified CAP 1.2 alert delivery across every hazard product, for every integrated authority.

Platform

Built for analysts, agencies and developers

OrbiVigil One

The unified platform: every hazard product, every data layer, one consistent map and event model.

OrbiVigil Command

The operations centre analysts and agencies use to monitor events, validate detections and coordinate response.

OrbiVigil API

Programmatic access to detections, forecasts and alerts for insurers, utilities and platform integrators.

Data sources

Independent sensors, cross-checked against each other

No single sensor is trusted alone. OrbiVigil fuses public and institutional satellite and weather data across every tier of latency and resolution.

  • Meteosat Third Generation

    Geostationary thermal imaging every 10 minutes, for continuous full-disk fire and storm monitoring over Europe and Africa.

  • VIIRS & NASA FIRMS

    375 m active-fire detection with near-real-time global delivery, the fastest broadly available fire signal.

  • Sentinel-1, -2 & -3

    Radar for all-weather, night-time change and deformation; optical and thermal for perimeters, burn severity and fire radiative power.

  • Météo-France AROME

    High-resolution wind, humidity and precipitation fields that drive fire spread and flood forecasting over France.

  • ECMWF

    Global ensemble forecasts providing uncertainty bounds and fallback coverage beyond regional weather models.

  • Copernicus EFFIS & EMS

    Fire danger indices, burned-area products and activated-event damage grading for validation and cross-checking.
