Israeli space-based intelligence solutions provider ImageSat International (ISI) unveiled Runner on 2 December 2025, described by the company as “the only satellite delivering real-time movement tracking from orbit”.
“Runner’s unique, game-changing capability lifts satellite intelligence from static images to live, actionable answers for defence intelligence customers and commercial sectors such as urban management, infrastructure monitoring and disaster response,” the company stated.
Runner has already been operational for more than three years, proving both its reliability and paradigm-shifting value, ISI stated. Onboard analysis of movements and in-scene-dynamics enables direct dissemination of critical space-based intelligence within existing operational networks due to the compressed nature of high-level symbology, the company said, adding that “when space-based agents become members of the warfighter networks, their utilisation will increase substantially”.
At the heart of Runner’s capability is ISI’s multi-sensor architecture, “industry-leading” image stabilisation and fault-tolerant hardware, which the company said have “all built on decades of operational experience”. The platform delivers sub-metre true-color video and dynamic analytics, with instant mapping and classification even at night or through cloud cover. Advanced embedded artificial intelligence (AI) agents and eight onboard GPU processors enable live analysis of movement types and operational zones “within seconds, providing unprecedented insight where timing and context are critical”, ISI stated.
ISI claims to be the world’s first satellite company to deploy generative AI models trained exclusively on its own unique database, “turning every observation into an enriched, analyst-ready product tailored for mission reality”.
“Runner changes the rules for satellite intelligence,” Noam Segal, CEO of ISI, stated in a company press release. “For the first time, analysts and operators have instant access to dynamic movement tracking, embedded AI agents, and actual intelligence data, at the speed of operations and tailored for warfighter needs. This capability is a true game changer, expanding real-time intelligence to support mission decisions worldwide.”
