WIA-DEF-011

🔍 Overview

WIA-DEF-011 establishes comprehensive standards for reconnaissance satellite systems, enabling real-time intelligence gathering, surveillance, and strategic monitoring from low Earth orbit (LEO) to geostationary orbit (GEO). This standard covers satellite design, sensor systems, data transmission, ground control, and mission planning for defense and security applications.

💻 API Example

import { ReconSatellite } from '@wia/def-011';

// Initialize reconnaissance satellite system
const recon = new ReconSatellite({
  satelliteId: 'RECON-SAT-001',
  orbit: {
    type: 'LEO',
    altitude: 600, // km
    inclination: 97.8 // sun-synchronous
  },
  sensors: ['eo', 'ir', 'sar']
});

// Task satellite for imaging mission
await recon.taskImaging({
  target: {
    lat: 37.5665,
    lon: 126.9780,
    priority: 'high'
  },
  sensors: ['eo', 'ir'],
  resolution: 'maximum', // 10cm GSD
  timeWindow: {
    start: '2025-01-15T06:00:00Z',
    end: '2025-01-15T18:00:00Z'
  }
});

// Monitor mission status
const status = await recon.getMissionStatus();
console.log(`Next pass: ${status.nextPass}`);
console.log(`Image acquisition: ${status.captureTime}`);
console.log(`Downlink scheduled: ${status.downlinkTime}`);

// Retrieve and decrypt imagery
const imagery = await recon.downloadImagery({
  missionId: 'IMG-2025-001',
  encryption: 'AES-256',
  format: 'NITF' // National Imagery Transmission Format
});

// Perform automated analysis
const analysis = await recon.analyzeImage({
  imageId: imagery.id,
  detectionTypes: ['vehicle', 'aircraft', 'structure'],
  aiModel: 'wia-recon-v3'
});

console.log(`Objects detected: ${analysis.objects.length}`);
analysis.objects.forEach(obj => {
  console.log(`- ${obj.type}: ${obj.confidence}% confidence`);
});
