Maxar Intelligence rebrands to Vantor, unveils AI-powered platform

Vantor has rebranded from Maxar Intelligence. The newly named company also unveiled Tensorglobe, an AI-powered spatial intelligence platform.

The rebrand represents the culmination of the company’s multi-year journey to productize its core operational technology and transform from a satellite imagery provider into an end-to-end spatial intelligence company.

According to the company, the name Vantor speaks to how the company unlocks a real-time competitive advantage by delivering total clarity for missions across the space, air and ground domains, ending the era of disconnected sensor platforms. “Vantor is solving the most critical challenges across the defense and commercial sectors, including the urgent need for more advanced battlespace systems and the push to unleash autonomy across every industry,” the company said in a press release.

The company addresses these challenges with multi-domain spatial intelligence solutions that integrate sensor data across satellites, drones and ground-based assets to improve decision-making and drive autonomous operations at scale. Over the past six months, Vantor has launched several AI-enabled solutions, including:

• Raptor: A software suite that integrates Vantor’s 3D terrain data with a drone’s native camera to ensure that autonomous platforms can navigate effectively and extract target ground coordinates accurately in the absence of GPS.
• Sentry: A global-scale persistent site monitoring solution that can identify operational threats across hundreds of areas at once by integrating automated collection planning across multiple satellite constellations, including sovereign assets, with AI-driven data fusion and analytics.
• Tensorglobe: An end-to-end platform that empowers organizations to build their own spatial intelligence system. Tensorglobe fuses sensor data from space, air and ground to create a living 3D globe, automating the intelligence cycle to keep this unified foundation up to date.

Vantor has partnered with innovators across the defense and commercial sectors to jointly build integrated intelligence solutions. For instance, Vantor is delivering the foundational spatial intelligence for Anduril’s next-generation mixed reality combat system designed for the U.S. Army’s Soldier Borne Mission Command Architecture (SBMC-A) program. The company has also signed partnerships with Saab and Taiwan’s AIDC to integrate Raptor into mission-ready systems designed for contested environments.
