High-resolution commercial satellite imagery and digital elevation models for governmental emergency management, environmental compliance, land administration and maritime traffic awareness.
High-resolution commercial optical, pansharpened and atmospherically corrected for asset-level detail.
Priority tasking within hours for emergencies through to scheduled archive - same area of interest (AOI), same provenance.
Regional open-data archive through to street-level sub-metre - one platform, one integration.
Analysis-ready data (ARD) aligned to Australian government geospatial and emergency-management standards and delivered into Digital Earth Australia workflows.
Agency domains
Federal, state and local - emergency services, environmental regulators, lands agencies, planners and maritime authorities, all served from one sovereign tasking pipeline.
Bushfire, flood and cyclone rapid mapping with high-resolution commercial optical imagery into the Australasian Fire and Emergency Service Authorities Council (AFAC), the Australian Fire Danger Rating System (AFDRS) and state emergency management (EM) operations rooms - with all-weather radar layered in when cloud or smoke blocks the optical view.
Illegal clearing, wetland disturbance, deforestation and biodiversity tracking for environmental protection agencies (EPAs), regulators and Indigenous rangers.
Cadastral boundary updates, topographic refresh, and national-mapping programme support aligned to the Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping (ICSM) and the Geocentric Datum of Australia 2020 (GDA2020).
Urban growth tracking, zoning compliance, critical-asset monitoring and corridor change detection for rail, road and water assets.
Maritime domain awareness, dark-vessel detection and exclusive economic zone (EEZ) monitoring for illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.

A single capture
Land & tenure monitoring
Sub-metre optical resolves cadastral boundaries, land-use change and tenure encroachments across vast remote holdings - without a site visit.
Infrastructure & asset status
Roads, airstrips, water infrastructure and remote facilities tracked against baseline for condition assessment and maintenance planning.
Fire scar & vegetation
Post-fire scar extent, Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) recovery and fuel-load change detection for land managers, Indigenous rangers and biosecurity programmes.
Baseline change
Time-series stacks detect new activity, illegal clearing and strategic-site development across areas where ground patrol is impractical.
Capabilities
Rapid analysis-ready optical tasking within hours of a bushfire, flood or cyclone event - flood extent, fire scar, damage polygons and recovery cadence delivered into AFAC, AFDRS and state EM operations rooms. All-weather radar layers in when smoke or cloud blocks the optical view, and high-resolution commercial optical quantifies asset-level damage within the first 24 hours.
Illegal clearing, wetland disturbance, deforestation monitoring and biodiversity tracking for EPAs, environmental regulators and Indigenous land managers. Multispectral indices - NDVI, Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) and Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI) - run on global multispectral archive and high-resolution optical stacks; fire-scar time-series support the National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA), Indigenous Rangers and biosecurity programmes.
Sub-metre optical refresh of cadastral boundaries, topographic base maps and parcel change - colour-balanced, orthorectified to control and aligned to ICSM, the Australia New Zealand Land Information Council (ANZLIC) and GDA2020. Stereo-derived digital elevation models (DEMs) deliver corridor and floodplain elevation; change detection supports state lands agencies, Landgate, Spatial NSW and Land Tasmania with audit-ready, timestamped evidence.
Urban growth tracking, zoning compliance, transport corridor change and asset monitoring across rail, road, water and energy. Delivered as Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF, SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) or web map service / web map tile service (WMS/WMTS) direct into ArcGIS, QGIS, Databricks or Esri ArcGIS Online.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), Australian Border Force and allied maritime agencies use high-resolution commercial satellite imagery and all-weather radar for maritime traffic monitoring, dark-vessel detection and IUU fishing across the EEZ. Daily sub-metre optical follow-up confirms vessel activity - timestamped, georeferenced evidence for compliance and enforcement.
The problem
Government teams juggle emergency response, regulatory oversight, cadastral updates and maritime security across fragmented data and isolated vendor silos. Evidence arrives late, at different resolutions, in formats that don’t stack across agencies - and rarely survive procurement or audit scrutiny.
The Terrabit approach
Terrabit delivers analysis-ready commercial optical imagery and DEMs through one platform with Australian ingestion - colour-balanced, orthorectified to control, atmospherically corrected and pansharpened. Aligned to ANZLIC, ICSM, AFAC and the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience (AIDR), delivered into your geographic information system (GIS), Digital Earth Australia or sovereign cloud with audit-ready provenance.
Lifecycle
Three stages of the decision cycle. The same tasking pipeline answers each - from baseline monitoring to incident response to audit-ready archive.
01
Federated commercial optical, multispectral and specialised data tasking across 20+ constellations - scheduled captures covering every asset and tenure in your remit.
02
Analysis-ready products at scale - colour-balanced, orthorectified to control, atmospherically corrected and pansharpened - with change detection, fire-scar, flood-extent, vegetation indices and damage.
03
Evidence into your operations - ArcGIS, QGIS, Copernicus, Digital Earth Australia or sovereign cloud - with timestamped provenance your regulator, command centre and audit trail can stand behind.
Data & methods
Every capture is colour-balanced, orthorectified to control, atmospherically corrected, pansharpened and mosaicked - so the imagery slots straight into your operational workflow. Specialised data follows where the question requires it.
How it works
Same pipeline, same provenance - every agency, every mission.
Platform
Coordinate analysis-ready imagery, DEM and specialised data tasking across departments - with centralised budget controls, multi-user access, audit-ready archives and procurement-pathway clarity.
Albatross gives government buyers enterprise-grade order management for analysis-ready satellite imagery, DEMs and multiband analytics across every mission. Submit tasking, approve budgets, track deliveries and maintain a defensible audit trail - one platform, distributed agencies, ANZLIC and ICSM aligned.
