SOLUTIONS / FROM SIGNAL TO DECISION
Industry-specific questions deserve industry-specific analysis. Explore how satellite observations can support your next decision.
01 / CONSTRUCTION
Compare observations across a construction portfolio to identify visible earthworks, site expansion and larger structural changes.
Satellite observations complement on-site verification. Feature visibility depends on image resolution; small structures and material movement may need commercial imagery.
02 / AGRICULTURE
Multispectral satellites see how healthy a crop is before the human eye can. Purnova turns those observations into field-level signals — so stress, water shortfall and yield risk show up while there is still time to act.
For agribusinesses, FPOs, crop insurers, agri-lenders and state agriculture departments.

ILLUSTRATIVE IMAGERY · NO MEASURED CHANGE OR REAL EVENT IS SHOWNHOW SATELLITES HELP AGRICULTURE
WHAT WE SEEVegetation indices such as NDVI and NDRE, tracked every few days across the season.
HOW IT HELPSSee which fields are lagging their neighbours or last season, and send agronomists there first instead of walking every acre.
WHAT WE SEESudden drops in near-infrared and red-edge reflectance compared with the field's own baseline.
HOW IT HELPSFlag possible pest, disease or nutrient stress days to weeks earlier than visual scouting, while intervention is still cheap.
WHAT WE SEEMoisture-sensitive shortwave-infrared bands, surface water extent and rainfall context.
HOW IT HELPSSpot under- or over-irrigated plots and canal shortfalls, and plan water allocation across a command area.
WHAT WE SEETime-series patterns that separate crop types and show when a field was sown.
HOW IT HELPSEstimate acreage by crop and district, verify sowing for schemes and loans, and plan procurement and storage.
WHAT WE SEESeason-long vegetation curves compared against historical seasons for the same region.
HOW IT HELPSAnticipate shortfalls weeks before harvest, so buyers, lenders and planners are not surprised.
WHAT WE SEERadar (SAR) flood mapping that sees through monsoon cloud, plus pre- and post-event comparison.
HOW IT HELPSMap affected farmland quickly to support crop-insurance claims, relief and re-sowing decisions.
Vegetation indices are indicators, not a diagnosis. Crop type, growth stage, weather and field measurements are needed to confirm a cause. Satellite analysis prioritises where to look; it does not replace the agronomist.
03 / INSURANCE & LENDING
Compare pre-event and post-event observations to support flood extent assessment, exposure review and remote verification.
BEFORE EVENT / SIMULATED LAYER
ILLUSTRATIVE IMAGERY · NO MEASURED CHANGE OR REAL EVENT IS SHOWNAnalysis supports human assessment. It does not automatically approve claims, price policies or make lending decisions.
04 / INFRASTRUCTURE
Review roads, rail, pipelines and power corridors for visible changes that merit closer inspection.
CORRIDOR / SIMULATED LAYER
ILLUSTRATIVE IMAGERY · NO MEASURED CHANGE OR REAL EVENT IS SHOWNOptical imagery cannot reveal underground conditions. Observation availability and resolution determine which corridor changes can be assessed.
05 / ENVIRONMENT
Follow land cover, forests, coastlines and water bodies over time, with comparable observations and a clear baseline.
2024 / SIMULATED LAYER
ILLUSTRATIVE IMAGERY · NO MEASURED CHANGE OR REAL EVENT IS SHOWNLand-cover change does not establish illegality or causation. Such conclusions need field evidence and appropriate contextual review.
06 / GOVERNMENT
Support civilian planning and response with regional change detection, land-use intelligence and environmental observation.
REGION / SIMULATED LAYER
ILLUSTRATIVE IMAGERY · NO MEASURED CHANGE OR REAL EVENT IS SHOWNThese are application areas for discussion, not claims of government deployments, contracts or defence capabilities.
07 / DEFENCE
Satellites revisit the same ground again and again, regardless of borders or terrain. Purnova compares those passes to highlight what has changed — so analysts spend their time on the few places that matter, not on scanning thousands of square kilometres by hand.
For defence and security analysts, border and coastal agencies, and disaster-response planners.
SATELLITE PASS / SIMULATED LAYER
ILLUSTRATIVE IMAGERY · NO MEASURED CHANGE OR REAL EVENT IS SHOWNHOW SATELLITES HELP DEFENCE
WHAT WE SEERepeated observations of the same area, aligned and compared pass-to-pass.
HOW IT HELPSSurface new tracks, clearings, structures or earthworks along long, hard-to-patrol frontiers for analyst review.
WHAT WE SEEChange detection over defined areas of interest: new construction, vehicles, ground disturbance.
HOW IT HELPSKeep a watch list of locations under regular review and get alerted when something visibly changes.
WHAT WE SEERadar (SAR) imagery that detects vessels at sea day or night, through cloud.
HOW IT HELPSSupport coastal surveillance, cross-check vessels against AIS and spot ones that are not broadcasting.
WHAT WE SEEElevation models, land cover, water bodies, snow cover and seasonal ground conditions.
HOW IT HELPSPlan movement and logistics in unfamiliar or remote terrain, and see how routes change across seasons.
WHAT WE SEERegular observation of roads, bridges, airstrips, dams and power corridors.
HOW IT HELPSSpot damage, encroachment or disruption to strategic assets early, and prioritise inspection.
WHAT WE SEERapid pre- and post-event comparison for floods, landslides, cyclones and earthquakes.
HOW IT HELPSGive relief teams a fast picture of affected areas and blocked access routes for humanitarian assistance.
These are application areas for discussion, not claims of existing defence contracts or deployments. Analysis is decision support for trained analysts — detections are candidates to verify, and visibility depends on image resolution, revisit time and weather.
