Ursa is redefining the way the world acquires and interprets satellite data. By combining access to more than seventy percent of the world’s commercial satellites with proprietary artificial intelligence agents and data fusion models, Ursa transforms raw imagery into actionable intelligence for governments, institutions, and global markets. Its platform bridges one of the greatest challenges in modern intelligence, turning an overwhelming flood of geospatial data into clear, timely, and decision ready insight.

​

In an era shaped by conflict, climate volatility, and supply chain disruption, information asymmetry has become one of the greatest risks to global stability. Decision makers, from military commanders to commodity traders, now rely on space derived intelligence to maintain awareness and anticipate change. Yet most analysts still struggle to integrate satellite data into their workflows because of complexity, cost, and the time required to process and interpret it. Ursa was created to solve that problem.

​

Through automated acquisition, standardized imagery, and artificial intelligence driven analytics, Ursa reduces analysis that once took weeks down to hours or even minutes. Its mission is simple but transformative: to democratize access to space based intelligence and give leaders clarity when it matters most.

​

Karen Thomasine is currently helping Ursa expand its international footprint by structuring a joint venture in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This partnership is designed to localize Ursa’s geospatial capabilities and deploy its technology across Saudi government related entities. The initiative supports Vision 2030’s emphasis on sovereign data infrastructure, security, and advanced analytics, ensuring that the Kingdom has access to world class satellite intelligence while developing its own internal capacity. Through this collaboration, Ursa’s platform will play a key role in strengthening national monitoring systems, supporting energy and infrastructure oversight, and advancing digital sovereignty across Saudi institutions.

​

The global geospatial analytics market is expanding rapidly, projected to exceed fifty five billion dollars by 2029. National security and defense spending continues to climb, with intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance among the fastest growing categories. Commodity and supply chain monitoring represents a two trillion dollar annual market where independent verification has become essential for pricing, logistics, and compliance. Climate resilience and disaster response now constitute a two point four trillion dollar market requiring rapid, space enabled situational awareness. Financial institutions increasingly use satellite derived data for alternative analysis, from monitoring refineries to assessing wildfire exposure.

​

As the number of commercial satellites surpasses two hundred constellations, the amount of available data has exploded. Without intelligent interpretation, those pixels remain noise. Ursa’s orchestration platform converts that noise into foresight, providing real time intelligence to clients who depend on speed and accuracy.

​

Ursa’s technology ecosystem is built around its URSA.NEXT platform, which delivers intelligence at the speed of need. Its architecture includes AI assisted satellite solutioning that enables natural language tasking and feasibility modeling, ad hoc imagery and data fusion that merges satellite inputs with more than ninety contextual data sources such as maritime tracking and defense databases, and analytics orchestration that detects anomalies and tracks change over time. AI assisted report generation further compresses production cycles, allowing commanders, policymakers, and traders to receive actionable insight within hours. With more than forty solution playbooks covering border monitoring, maritime surveillance, wildfire tracking, and refinery observation, Ursa offers ready made solutions for both government and corporate users.

​

The company has already demonstrated significant proof of concept. It has delivered more than five hundred site monitoring reports in collaboration with the United States Space Force, the Defense Innovation Unit, the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, and allied governments. It has also achieved commercial traction with annual revenues exceeding two million dollars from commodity and supply chain clients and a customer base of more than fifty multinational corporations. Ursa has maintained double digit annual growth since 2023 and is on track to triple by 2025, reaching breakeven as it prepares for its next funding round. Its leadership in geospatial AI was recognized at DGI 2025 in London by retired General Clint Crosier, who identified Ursa as a global leader in the fusion of artificial intelligence and satellite analytics.

​

Ursa’s competitive advantage lies in the combination of breadth, depth, and accessibility. Rather than owning spacecraft, Ursa aggregates data from most commercial constellations, providing flexibility and redundancy that single operators cannot match. Its fusion of imagery with contextual data produces multi layered insight that goes far beyond what satellites alone can reveal. Its platform is intuitive, allowing analysts to work through simple questions such as what they want to measure, where, when, and how they want results delivered. Behind this simplicity is a world class team of over one hundred geospatial scientists, engineers, and intelligence professionals drawn from institutions including the National Reconnaissance Office, the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, ICEYE, Planet, and AWS.

​

Ursa is more than a data company. It is building capacity in the global intelligence ecosystem. Its work enables independent monitoring for defense, energy, and financial markets, strengthens resilience through infrastructure surveillance and disaster response, and makes advanced space intelligence accessible to organizations that previously lacked the resources to use it. In doing so, it advances both global security and the stability of capital markets.

​

Ursa represents a new era of geospatial intelligence. By aligning artificial intelligence, satellite access, and institutional demand, it is transforming how intelligence is produced, distributed, and consumed. This is not simply about satellites orbiting above but about ensuring that the insights they capture are clear, timely, and transformative. With Ursa, pixels become insights and insights become action, driving security, resilience, and growth in an increasingly complex world.
