Defense and intelligence, which is now the biggest area, which is where we're helping countries with security, monitoring for new threats, doing maritime domain awareness, as I said, so tracking ships, making sure they're not doing illegal things.
So, for example, right now we're supporting NATO doing monitoring in the Baltic Sea for hybrid Russian warfare activities.
We're helping the U.S.
Navy monitor 8 million square kilometers of the South China Sea for illicit activities that the Chinese are doing and other things like that.
So that's what we call defense intelligence.
Secondly, there's civil government.
So there we work with countries
environment agencies doing environmental monitoring, agriculture agencies doing agricultural monitoring, helping agriculture subsidies, disaster response.
We work with NASA a lot on science missions, so our data underpins
a myriad of systems sciences papers from researchers across the United States.
Another example is we work with Brazil federal police on monitoring deforestation.
Another example is we work with the Welsh Government on monitoring agriculture and biodiversity across Wales.
We work with German government on environmental disaster response after floods.
So that's civil government.
And then the final bucket is commercial.
So there, our biggest sets of clients are in agriculture, so we help big ag companies help their farmers improve crop yields by monitoring every farm field around the world every day,
we can help them do precision agriculture.
So there we work with Bayer, Syngenta.
We also work with insurance companies, so doing parametric drought insurance.
So companies like AXA and Swiss Re use our data for automated insurance claims.
