Unseenlabs France

Unseenlabs France, founded in 2015 and based in Rennes, France, is a space-based RF analytics company specializing in maritime surveillance. The company provides unique data and intelligence by detecting, geolocating, and characterizing radio frequency (RF) signals emitted by ships globally. This capability focuses on monitoring “dark vessels” – those that do not transmit standard identification signals – and improving overall maritime domain awareness.

Unseenlabs’ core technology centers around space-based RF detection, offering a novel approach to vessel identification and tracking that complements traditional surveillance methods. They deliver RF data including geolocation coordinates, timestamps, and technical parameters, alongside analytical services such as data fusion and in-depth intelligence reports. This allows for enhanced monitoring of activities at sea, even in challenging conditions and for vessels attempting to remain undetected.

Notably, Unseenlabs recently launched new satellites, BRO-20 & BRO-17, expanding their detection capabilities. They have also entered into a collaboration with S&P Global to further enhance maritime surveillance from space. Their data is utilized by a diverse customer base spanning government agencies, businesses involved in trade intelligence, offshore facilities, fisheries, marine insurance, NGOs, and shipowners.

Unseenlabs addresses a significant gap in maritime monitoring, as approximately 35% of ship position data is inaccurate or unavailable. By providing reliable and exclusive RF-based intelligence, the company offers a valuable solution for assessing and mitigating risks at sea, enhancing security, and improving situational awareness for both public and private sector stakeholders.
