Rheinmetall ICEYE Space Solutions GmbH (RISS), based in Neuss, is a joint venture between Rheinmetall (60%) and the Finnish satellite specialist ICEYE (40%).
Empower Europe’s security and defence with sovereign, persistent, and accurate space-based intelligence under any condition.
Our competences
Your partner for comprehensive satellite ISR
RISS is your dedicated partner for building and operating a resilient, mission-ready satellite ISR capability. We combine defence-grade reliability with cutting-edge space technology to provide actionable intelligence that supports national security, military operations, and civil protection.
Our most advanced operational capability today is synthetic aperture radar (SAR). It delivers persistent, all-weather insights and forms the cornerstone of a broader satellite ISR architecture that we will continue to develop together with our customers.
What we deliver
Operational SAR intelligence
High-resolution radar imaging with rapid revisit rates, independent of weather or lighting. SAR enables continuous monitoring, rapid situational awareness, and detection of relevant changes on the ground.
A scalable ISR constellation architecture
A system built to expand. We provide the foundation for broader satellite ISR capabilities and will evolve the architecture to include additional sensors, modalities, and mission-specific services.
Mission-tailored ISR products
From raw imagery to processed intelligence, our solutions support reconnaissance, surveillance, border security, disaster response, and strategic decision-making.
Secure and sovereign data access
A German-operated constellation ensures controlled information flows, national availability, and resilience even in contested environments.
Integration into defence ecosystems
Our products and interfaces fit seamlessly into existing command, control, and intelligence systems to support multi-domain operations.
Long-term partnership for capability development
Together with our customers, government stakeholders, and industry partners, we advance satellite ISR step by step. SAR is operational today, and we will continue expanding the system’s capabilities for Germany’s long-term strategic needs.
