MINDS is an all-in-one Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) System that enables the exploitation of all types of images from space and airborne sensors to provide better understanding of the battlefield.

A all-in-one scalable IMINT system

  1. All Imagery Data

    MINDS is an all-in-one solution which processes any type of data : electro-optical images, SAR, IR and hyperspectral images, videos, GMTI plots coming from any type of space-borne and airborne sensor. While handling this diversity of sources and types of data, it can also fuse them and thus provide a comprehensive image intel.

  2. Full-Cycle Intelligence

    MINDS managers the whole cycle of Intelligence from Request, to Tasking, Acquisition, Processing, Validation and finally Dissemination It provides not only an Analysis tool but an end-to-end solution. It can be used in real-time, for example when supporting UAV missions, or post-mission in deferred time.

  3. Scalable Solution

    Designed for deployments from strategic headquarters to mobile teams, the system scales from a ruggedized laptop to a full national IMINT center. It can be delivered as a standalone turnkey solution or integrated into existing customer infrastructure. This flexibility ensures rapid deployment, simplified logistics, and mission continuity across all command levels.

MINDS, an all in one Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) system

In today’s changing intelligence gathering environment, the proliferation of images and video from a wide range of sources means ever larger volumes of data requiring thorough analysis. 

To address this challenge, Thales offers MINDS, a modular and cutting edge imagery intelligence solution. It provides decision makers with the key information they need to make the best decisions. 

MINDS provides an all in one solution for your imagery intelligence (IMINT) needs turning raw data of any type (still imagery, video, SAR/MTI radar, etc.) and from any source (satellites, airborne pods, UAVs, etc.) into actionable intelligence. 

MINDS simplifies and optimizes the intelligence process, thereby accelerating the decision making cycle to ensure decision and operation superiority.

MINDS is a combat proven solution, leveraging the French SAIM (Système d’Aide à l’Interprétation Multi capteurs) programme in use 24/7 within all French forces.

The system is in service with dozens units from all military branches, with more than 400 systems deployed in France and other countries.
