PERTH, Australia – 24 July 2026 – LatConnect 60 (“LC60”), an Australian satellite Earth observation and AI company, today unveiled a proprietary intelligence-fusion capability that leverages the latest advancements in AI, and announced that it is now open for demonstrations and workshops with defence and intelligence stakeholders across the Indo-Pacific.
The capability has emerged directly from LC60’s growing regional engagement regarding future access to data from its SWIRSAT short-wave infrared (SWIR) constellation. SWIRSAT is supported by the Australian Space Agency and the Western Australian Government, with the first two SWIRSAT missions launching to orbit in Q1 2027 and a near term constellation expansion plan to 18-satellites.
Across technical and commercial discussions with defence ministries, armed forces and intelligence organisations, initial interest in SWIR increasingly progressed into discussions around priority use cases, areas of interest, tasking, data sovereignty and integration with existing operational systems. In response to that market feedback, LC60 developed its AI capabilities to extend its proprietary sensing advantage into a broader decision-intelligence offering.
