Two years after Maxar Technologies was acquired and split into two separate units, Maxar Technologies has been renamed Vantor, and Maxar Space Systems renamed Lantis.
With the rebranding, it also unveiled its next-generation AI platform, Tensorglobe, marking a strategic pivot from being solely a satellite imagery provider into becoming an end-to-end spatial intelligence company and mission partner for defense and intelligence communities.
As threats evolved and battlefields became increasingly multi-domain, static images are no longer sufficient. Vantor’s Tensorglobe platform fuses sensor data into a dynamic, living 3D globe. This enables real-time situational awareness, predictive analytics, and autonomous decision-making.
Tensorglobe integrates data from air, land, sea, and space, allowing commanders to visualize and act on a unified operational picture. Vantor’s Sentry system uses satellite constellations and machine learning to monitor hundreds of global sites for changes, anomalies, or emerging threats. The Raptor software suite integrates Vantor’s 3D terrain data with a drone’s native camera to ensure that autonomous platforms can navigate effectively and extract target ground coordinates accurately in GPS-denied environments.
In an era where speed, precision, and adaptability define success, Vantor’s tools are designed to plug into existing military architectures while offering scalable intelligence for tactical, operational, and strategic levels. By embedding AI into the edge of operations, Vantor supports autonomous targeting, route planning, and surveillance, reducing latency and human workload.
"Our business has celebrated significant milestones over the past two years—we launched six next-gen imaging satellites, introduced multiple first-of-a-kind spatial intelligence products, and signed partnerships with companies that are shaping the future of mixed reality and battlefield autonomy," said Vantor CEO Dan Smoot. "Vantor represents a company transformed. We’re not just a satellite imagery provider. We’re delivering end-to-end solutions capable of connecting sensor data from every domain, providing a unified intelligence picture that they can turn into a competitive advantage."
