IGS Launches Advanced AI Platform for Ground-Deformation Monitoring in South Africa

By Africazine

South Africa is making strides in Earth Intelligence technology with a new AI platform.

Integrated Geoscience Solutions (IGS) has launched its IGS_InSAR AI platform, a satellite-radar analytics system designed for precise ground-deformation monitoring and geohazard modelling. This innovation positions IGS as a leader in advanced Earth Intelligence, enhancing capabilities in various sectors including defence and infrastructure.

South Africa’s New AI Platform Revolutionizes Geoscience

The IGS_InSAR AI platform represents a significant advancement in geoscience services. It offers millimetre-precision monitoring and automated sinkhole detection, showcasing the potential of South African technology in the global arena. This platform integrates multiple technologies, including InSAR processing and AI anomaly detection, to deliver comprehensive terrain intelligence.

Founded by Dr. Tshepo Khoza, IGS combines various methods such as UAV mapping and satellite Earth Observation. This multifaceted approach allows for a detailed understanding of terrain and infrastructure, essential for sectors like defence and environmental operations.

South Africa: Key figures on IGS_InSAR AI platform

  • Millimetre-precision ground-deformation monitoring
  • Automated sinkhole detection
  • Predictive geohazard modelling

Strengthening Defence with Earth Intelligence

IGS is set to showcase its capabilities at AAD 2026, highlighting the importance of geospatial surveillance and AI-enabled monitoring. These technologies are crucial for operational planning and protecting critical infrastructure within the South African National Defence Force (SANDF). The integration of Earth Intelligence into defence strategies marks a pivotal shift towards enhanced readiness and risk management.

Next Steps for IGS and the Defence Sector
