The American company Planet Labs, a leader in satellite imaging, has decided to extend restrictions on access to its photographs from the Middle East, in order to prevent adversaries from using them in attacks against the United States and its allies.


The measure aims to limit the uncontrolled distribution of images, which could be used as a tactical foothold. Experts warn that Iran may have access to commercial images from other sources. In the context of modern warfare, space plays an essential role in military activities, from identifying targets to communications.


The use of artificial intelligence in the analysis of satellite images has democratized access to information, facilitating military operations and reducing adversaries' ability to hide.
