GEOINT 2026: How Kestrel Uses Agentic AI to Automate Satellite Orchestration

The sheer volume of commercial satellites and airborne sensors makes finding and ordering geospatial data incredibly complex—until now. At the GEOINT 2026 Symposium, Project Geospatial sat down with Remington Barrett, Co-Founder of Kestrel, to discuss the intersection of agentic AI and collection management.

In this post, we break down how Kestrel empowers front-line operators and commercial users to task SAR, hyperspectral, and RF sensors using simple, natural language requirements. Plus, find out how Kestrel is quietly shaping the future of defense tech through fully containerized deployments and autonomous "tipping and cueing" workflows that maintain real-time target custody entirely on their own.
