Maxar Adds Two New Customers to Its Rapid Access Program for On-Demand Satellite Imagery Tasking

Maxar Technologies (NYSE:MAXR) (TSX:MAXR), a trusted partner and innovator in Earth Intelligence and Space Infrastructure, today announced two new customers signed multi-million-dollar contracts to subscribe to its Rapid Access Program (RAP), including the first customer for RAP in Latin America.

RAP provides customers with a secure web interface to virtually task Maxar's high-resolution satellites through on-demand access windows. Maxar delivers high-resolution imagery within hours of collection due to streamlined processing and dissemination. By using cloud-based ground stations, RAP decreases the cost of actionable intelligence for our customers with accelerated speed and control. RAP customers also have high priority tasking on Maxar satellites, critical for urgent mission requirements. When Maxar's next-generation WorldView Legion satellites are on orbit and operational, RAP customers will be among the first to be able to task them to collect 30 cm class imagery.

"Maxar's Rapid Access Program provides customers with assured access to task our satellites without the need for a physical ground station," said Tony Frazier, Maxar's Executive Vice President of Global Field Operations. "This lower barrier to entry for tasking provides opportunities for Maxar to serve our RAP customers with the high-quality imagery that they have come to depend on while offering them greater autonomy in tasking the most agile satellites on orbit. Maxar is grateful to be a strategic partner in these customers' missions, enabling them to make critical decisions and save lives, resources and time."

National Institute of Aeronautics and Space of Indonesia (LAPAN) is Maxar's second RAP customer in the Asia-Pacific region. LAPAN will task Maxar's high-resolution satellite imagery to accelerate mapping missions in Indonesia, including land certification, industrial priority zones and special economic zones. Additionally, LAPAN will receive Maxar's 15 cm high-definition (HD) imagery, which is created by applying Maxar's proprietary HD technology to the company's native 30 cm class imagery, resulting in superior visual clarity and utility.

"LAPAN is excited to start tasking the Maxar constellation for our mapping missions," said Dedi Irawadi, Acting Director of Remote Sensing Technology and Data Center at LAPAN. "Having assured access via RAP to collect imagery of the areas we're focused on and receiving 15 cm HD imagery will enable our analysts to create actionable intelligence on faster timelines."

The Colombian Air Force is the second new RAP customer and the first international defense organization in Latin America to partner with Maxar in the program. The customer will use RAP for mission planning and monitoring areas of interest. The contract also includes access to Maxar's SecureWatch subscription service for on-demand access to more than 125 petabytes of Maxar's high-resolution satellite data and analytics. The customer will integrate SecureWatch into their analysts' workflows to enable surveillance and monitoring of national territory and the environment. By tasking new, high-resolution satellite imagery through the RAP and viewing it in context via SecureWatch, Colombia will benefit from space-based information as a strategic tool for national sovereignty.

ASX Robotics Stocks: 3 Biggest Companies in 2024

Robotics is a growing area of engineering and science technology. Although Australia is hoping to lead the way in robotics, the number of pure-play ASX-listed robotics companies currently isn't very long.

Robotics is a broad term covering everything from design to the construction and operation of robots. It also includes the use of robots in roles normally played by humans, often to reduce errors or speed up processes.

The list below provides an overview of the three largest ASX-listed companies that employ robotics. Data was sourced using TradingView's stock screener on March 7, 2024, and stocks are listed in descending market cap order.

Robotics Stocks: 7 Biggest Companies

It’s no surprise that the top robotics stocks are gaining attention.

Precedence Research reports that the global robotics technology market was worth US$72.17 billion in 2022 and could grow at a compound annual growth rate of 14.7 percent to reach US$283.19 billion by 2032, spurred on by demand for industrial robots and improving technology from robotics companies.

The automotive industry is the biggest source of demand for robotics. According to the Association for Advancing Automation, in 2022 the sector drove industrial robot sales to a record high in North America. Automakers such as Hyundai Motor Company (KRX:005380) are also showing signs of merging into the robotics industry — in 2021, the South Korean company acquired a controlling stake in robotics firm Boston Dynamics for US$1.1 billion.

How to Invest in Robotics in Australia

The global robotics industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.64 percent through 2028 to reach US$258.36 billion, according to Mordor Intelligence. The robotics sector is also growing in Australia ― but is it a sector worth investing in?

Broadly speaking, robotics is an umbrella term that includes the design, construction and use of robots. This can include core automation and production, industrial software, robot technology and integration of robotics. From drones to self-driving cars to toys, robotics is a growing industry that is beginning to permeate our daily lives. The goal of a robot is to complete a task faster and more efficiently than a human.

The distinction between robotics and AI can be a little confusing, but essentially think of robotics as the body and AI as the brain. Both can exist separately and they are powerful when combined.

How to Invest in Robotics

The robotics industry is one of the largest markets in the technology space today, with applications across diverse sectors. However, this diversity may leave market watchers wondering how to invest in robotics.

In simple terms, robotics is defined as the "science and technology behind the design, manufacturing and application of robots." Robots themselves are devices that can perform tasks the same way people do, but without human assistance.

Some experts believe a "robot revolution" will completely change the global economy over the next 20 years or so, and with the rise of robotics all but guaranteed, the Investing News Network has put together a primer on the sector. Read on to learn more.
