Curent projects and latest news
Bathysat© innovation partnership
Hytech-imaging designs and implements the French Satellite Derived Bathymetry (SDB) system Bathysat for the French Hydrographic Office (Shom). The Bathysat solution is developed through an innovation partnership between Hytech-imaging, ENSTA Bretagne, iXBlue and Airbus DS.
SCO Littosat South Africa
The aim of this project is to deploy the Littosat dashboard for monitoring coastal environment parameters in South Africa. In addition to producing new satellite products, the project aims to build partnerships with coastal management stakeholders, complementing existing initiatives and with the support of the South African Space Agency (SANSA).
SDAMM project
The SDAMM (Surveillance Décarbonée et Automatisée de la Mégafaune Marine - Decarbonised and Automated Monitoring of Marine Megafauna) project, labelled by the Pôle Mer Bretagne Atlantique and supported by Ailes Marines as part of its IBReizh programme, will enable Hytech-imaging to continue the industrialisation of Solar-Stormm, the first prototype of which was developed in 2024 with the support of the French Biodiversity Agency (OFB).
Developed in collaboration with XSun, Solar-Stormm aims to decarbonise the Stormm aerial image acquisition service for digital monitoring of avifauna and marine megafauna. Miniaturised and mounted on a solar-powered drone, Solar-Stormm will provide a silent, low-carbon, long-endurance image acquisition service.
RAPID Calhyb
A new aerial drone-based shallow water mapping system called Calhyb is currently being developed by a consortium involving Hytech-imaging, ENSTA Bretagne and SensUp. The Calhyb system targets dual uses: Rapid Environment Assessment (REA) and target detection in coastal areas for defense applications, and hydrographic and environmental mapping for civil applications.
The project is funded by the French Ministry of Defense via the Support Scheme for Dual Innovation (RAPID), and is supported by the Orion naval innovation cluster and the Pôle Mer Bretagne Atlantique.
