About

What is Nabhas?

A research-driven platform that turns satellite observations into operational intelligence.

Nabhas asks a simple question: can open satellite data produce useful, repeatable intelligence about maritime supply chain risk, environmental change, and infrastructure state?

The answer is yes—but it requires combining two different problems: satellite-derived state estimation and supply chain graph theory. That intersection is Nabhas.

How it works

Four core pillars

Satellite-first sensing

Synthetic aperture radar satellites make regular passes over the planet regardless of cloud cover. Vessels, infrastructure, and environmental changes stand out in the signal.

Supply chain graph

Ports, mines, smelters, and refineries form a network. When a chokepoint shows anomalous activity, a graph lets you ask what propagates—and where.

State-over-pixels

Raw satellite data becomes operational state intelligence. We show state estimates, confidence intervals, and evidence—not raw imagery or database dumps.

Protected access

Partner-facing APIs expose product-shaped intelligence responses. State signals, risk scores, and commodity exposure are linked to asset coordinates.

Product domains

Three planetary systems

Operating philosophy

State first, evidence second, raw data on demand.

Users see operational intelligence—a state estimate with confidence intervals—before raw data or imagery.

No AIS required, no permission needed.

Satellite radar works regardless of cooperative signals. Open data sources keep the platform accessible and auditable.

Product shapes, not database dumps.

APIs expose intelligence surfaces—risk scores, state vectors, exposure lists—not raw table rows.
