Supporting cities, communities, and climate stakeholders to identify, prioritise, and evaluate nature-based solutions using AI-enhanced satellite data.
Helios
Status date: 17 June 2025
DWR
Status date: 17 June 2025
The Digitising Water Resilience project, led by Krucial in collaboration with SAS Analytics, Deep Planet, SRUC, and the University of Strathclyde, has demonstrated the feasibility of a globally scalable solution for monitoring water stress. Combining IoT sensors, Earth Observation (EO) data, and advanced analytics, the solution provides actionable insights to address water quality and quantity challenges. This innovative approach supports better decision-making, sustainability, and regulatory compliance in diverse sectors and geographies.
Global Water Quality Digital Twin (GWDT)
Status date: 17 June 2025
Water quality digital twin bridges together AMR abundance values with EO observation water quality markers extracted from Copernicus Marine. This project proved the feasibility to predict AMR abundance values in water utilizing machine learning model (random forest decision tree, xgboost) trained on 30 water quality, oceanographic, biochemistry parameters such as alkalinity, water pH, turbidity, sea water salinity, sea water velocity. etc.)
RoadCast
Status date: 17 June 2025
RoadCast provides high-resolution, route-based weather nowcasting to support safer and smarter mobility. Our solution delivers real-time forecasts and hazard alerts for rain, wind, hailstorms and road conditions, enabling proactive risk management and reduced losses for autonomous vehicles resulting in safer and expanded operations.
TAVAP
Status date: 16 June 2025
TAVAP optimises farm operations by utilising SAR-based crop growth models and weather forecasts. It helps farmers plan ahead, prioritise actions, create precision farming maps, and efficiently allocate resources like fertilizers and protective agents through variable rate applications.
EO-ACT
Status date: 16 June 2025
Leveraging satellite imagery and AI analytics to detect and prevent child labour in global supply chains. The platform provides companies with real-time monitoring, risk assessment, and verification tools to ensure ethical sourcing compliance, protect vulnerable children, and strengthen corporate social responsibility commitments through transparent, data-driven insights.
SAFER
Status date: 16 June 2025

Leveraging GNSS, Earth Observation data and advanced AI models, SAFER enables proactive disaster preparedness, informed urban planning, improved infrastructure resilience and enhanced risk assessment for governments, municipalities, infrastructure operators, insurers and financial institutions globally.
INST
Status date: 16 June 2025
Instantly Networked Smart Triage (INST) is a novel service enabled by satellite communications that provides real-time data to emergency services to save lives in mass casualty incidents. INST is enabled by a low-cost lightweight device that can be associated with a casualty to indicate where they are, how urgently they require medical attention, and to report the number of casualties.
Robust Scatterer InSAR
Status date: 16 June 2025
Ground deformation is a hidden risk that can cause severe damage to our infrastructure. Satellite-based deformation measurements using the InSAR-technology allow us to map deformation over large areas with staggering precision. However, a fundamental flaw in the technology is that it assumes a static scene. With RS-InSAR, we have integrated change detection to allow the mapping of dynamic scenes.
