SuperX is an innovative solution that integrates advanced deep learning based super-resolution and denoising AI models into satellite imagery. By fundamentally overcoming the inherent limitations of traditional satellite images, SuperX upscales low-resolution images.
“SuperX captured FIDAE 2026 — Latin America’s largest aerospace & defense exhibition — from orbit, in Santiago, Chile!”
From April 7–12, 2026, Pudahuel Air Base in Santiago hosted the 24th International Air and Space Fair (FIDAE 2026), bringing together 33 nations, 255 exhibitors, and over 110 aircraft and helicopters on the tarmac. For defense and intelligence analysts, events like FIDAE are more than airshows — they are rare, open-air windows into the global order of battle, where next-generation platforms sit side-by-side for direct comparison.
In this issue, we follow SuperX through five analytical steps — from wide-area surveillance to asset identification, type classification, airframe-level inspection, and ground activity analysis — over the FIDAE 2026 venue.

After narrowing the area of interest, the next step is asset cluster identification. In the original frame, three large airframes are visible on the apron but type identification is difficult. After SuperX enhancement, the USAF lettering, the propeller configuration of a C-130J, and the distinctive twin-aisle fuselage of a wide-body transport become clearly readable. Crew movement and ground vehicles servicing each platform are also discernible — useful indicators for sortie cadence and turnaround analysis.

A dense static-display row is one of the hardest scenes for native-resolution satellite imagery — overlapping shadows, similar paint schemes, and tightly parked airframes blur into one another. SuperX separates each airframe: a strategic transport, a tactical airlifter, fighter aircraft, and rotary-wing platforms can each be classified by planform. This is exactly the kind of scene where OVISION Intelligence’s automated detection and classification pipelines convert pixels into ORBAT-grade reports.

Going deeper, SuperX recovers individual airframes painted in display liveries, parked equipment, and personnel positions on the ramp. The same workflow applied to operational airfields allows analysts to monitor maintenance activity, detect newly arrived platforms, and verify reported deployments — without ever putting an asset at risk.

At the most granular level, SuperX sharpens vehicles, crosswalks, parking patterns, and access control points beyond the aircraft themselves.
This frame holds a small secret. Look closely at the pavement and you’ll see the faint letters “ST-1”. Just before the satellite passed overhead, a member of the SI group on the ground wrote those letters on the tarmac with water — an impromptu, on-the-spot resolution check. Can the detail we promise really be seen from orbit? The image is our answer. SuperX did not miss it.
By the same principle, base-monitoring missions can count vehicles at a checkpoint, observe convoy formation, and detect changes in perimeter activity — all from a single satellite pass.

FIDAE 2026 is a vivid showcase, but the real story is what SuperX does every day for defense and intelligence customers. The same five-step workflow — wide-area surveillance, asset ID, type classification, airframe inspection, and activity monitoring — is automated end-to-end inside OVISION Intelligence, SIA’s defense-grade geospatial analytics platform, powering missions such as:
