Planetary Intelligence OS

Planetary Intelligence OS is the name Solafune gives to its integrated, AI-based intelligence work for governments and international organisations. These customers must monitor defence and security threats, mining, disasters, infrastructure and land and forest change over areas too large for field surveys or manual analysis.

The system gathers intelligence from multiple sources, integrates it and analyses it with AI. The sources are GEOINT (satellite and aerial imagery and other geospatial data), OSINT (social media, open data, web crawling and official publications) and SIGINT (signals and cyber-security data). Solafune applies it to:

• defence and intelligence: satellite intelligence analysis for national security, strategic monitoring and threat detection;
• mining (ShigenAI): mine monitoring, illegal-mining detection, resource discovery and reserve estimation from satellite data;
• disaster management: flood analysis and damage assessment;
• infrastructure: monitoring of roads, bridges and utilities, with anomaly detection and maintenance alerts;
• agriculture and forestry: crop health and deforestation tracking.

ShigenAI is still under development, in a UNIDO-funded demonstration in the DRC that runs from September 2025 to October 2027. Solafune designs it for companies and specialists in mineral exploration and development. UNDP's Digital X catalogue describes its dashboard for government agencies and ShigenBot, a natural-language assistant for querying satellite imagery and generating reports.

Solafune names Japan's Ministry of Defense, Cabinet Office, National Police Agency, Ministry of the Environment, JAXA and the Japan Meteorological Agency as clients. Abroad, it runs a UNIDO-funded project (USD 5.34 million) with the DRC's national geological service that monitors mining with satellite data and AI. It lists government partnerships in Côte d'Ivoire, the DRC, Egypt, Ghana, Senegal, Togo and Zambia, and has a satellite-monitoring contract with IOM (UN Migration) on border areas, natural resources and risk mapping. Its stated business is satellite data analysis, software licensing and related services.
