VAKE is a Norwegian tech startup specializing in maritime surveillance using machine learning to process multispectral satellite images. Their core activity involves developing Maritime Domain Awareness by detecting and analyzing vessel behavior, including "dark vessels," through AI-boosted satellite data. VAKE's services are used for monitoring oceans for defense and environmental purposes, offering integration of commercial satellite data into their products. In early 2024, Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) acquired a majority stake in VAKE to enhance maritime domain awareness, offshore asset protection, and shipping activity tracking.
