ST Engineering to deliver advanced SAR satellite

The sub-metre imaging resolution will boost disaster response and security capabilities.

ST Engineering has been selected by FADA, the space-focused entity under the UAE’s EDGE Group, to deliver a pioneering Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite for the UAE National SAR Constellation Programme, Sirb.

This strategic project aims to enhance the UAE's Earth observation capabilities for both government and commercial applications. ST Engineering's contract encompasses the design and delivery of the high-resolution SAR satellite and the complete mission control infrastructure required for its operation, according to a press release.

The satellite will provide state-of-the-art imaging with sub-metre resolution and a high-speed downlink, ensuring reliable day-and-night, all-weather imaging capability. The new system will support critical applications, including disaster response, environmental monitoring, and national security.

The project has successfully completed the SAR system design review. The next phases involve the assembly, integration, and rigorous operational testing of the satellite.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
