Live from the GEOINT 2026 Symposium in Denver, Colorado, Project Geospatial’s Adam Simmons catches up with Remington Barrett, Co-Founder of Kestrel.With an industry heavily saturated by satellite constellations and airborne sensors, the barrier to ordering the right imagery has historically required extensive collection management training. Kestrel changes the game with their advanced sensor orchestration and collection management software stack.By leveraging an innovative agentic AI system, Kestrel allows non-geospatial experts—from field soldiers to commercial construction project managers—to input plain-language requirements and easily task complex sensors like Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), hyperspectral, and radio frequency (RF) systems. Watch the interview to discover how they are pioneering fully autonomous "tipping and cueing" workflows to tracking threats entirely without a human in the loop.Key Highlights in this Video:00:00:43 – Meet Remington Barrett and learn how a team of military and intelligence veterans founded Kestrel.00:00:55 – Solving the "Too Many Sensors" Problem: Streamlining orchestration for agriculture, construction, and defense.00:01:21 – What is Agentic AI in Geospatial Tasking? Moving the power of satellite collection directly to the edge user.00:02:22 – How natural language processing translates target lists into specific sensor recommendations.00:02:45 – Kestrel’s Deployment Models: Reselling data, standalone web applications, and containerized enterprise tech stacks.00:03:27 – The Provider Ecosystem: Integrating commercial EO, SAR, RF, and western hemisphere airborne sensor grids.00:04:14 – The Future of GEOINT: Fully autonomous tipping and cueing for real-time target custody without a human in the loop.Learn More About Kestrel:🌐 Website: https://kestrelintelligence.com/About Project Geospatial:We connect the geospatial ecosystem with deep dives into emerging technologies, live interviews from key global defense events, and educational podcasts.
