About us
Highlighting the Unseen with Unseenlabs
Unseenlabs is dedicated to offering the most comprehensive overview of maritime traffic. Over the years, we have revolutionized maritime surveillance by adding a new layer of information for maritime stakeholders.
Our primary mission is to detect radio frequency (RF) signals emitted by ships worldwide, enabling us to provide accurate and reliable RF solutions to our customers across the globe.
Through our cutting-edge technology, we enhance Maritime Domain Awareness, equipping our customers with the critical information needed to monitor and secure their areas of interest at sea.
Our Commitment: Safeguarding the Oceans
The oceans are one of our most vital resources. They provide food and livelihoods, regulate the climate, sustain over half of Earth’s life, and serve as the backbone of global trade.
Yet, with a rapidly growing global fleet—including more than 100,000 merchant vessels—the lack of accurate and up-to-date ship location data creates serious environmental and security risks for both public and private sectors.
At Unseenlabs, we are dedicated to transforming maritime surveillance with a new kind of data. Our mission is to protect the oceans by enhancing vessel safety and combating illegal activities.
By equipping maritime stakeholders with precise monitoring solutions for sensitive sea areas, we help mitigate risks and promote sustainable ocean management.

The Unseen Story: A Passion-Fueled Family Venture
Founded in 2015 by the Galic brothers—Benjamin, Jonathan and Clément—Unseenlabs has redefined the space industry by combining their expertise to tackle the evolving challenges of Maritime Domain Awareness.
Jonathan Galic, an expert in Signals Intelligence (SIGINT)—a field rarely covered in engineering schools—recognized a gap in the private sector for this technology, both in France and globally. Jonathan’s brother Benjamin, a business attorney, encouraged him to start a company. With their third brother, Clément, they launched Unseenlabs, united by a shared vision to apply SIGINT to maritime surveillance and advance space-based intelligence.
COMPANY HISTORY
Following the principle “If a window of opportunity appears, don’t pull down the shade,” the Galic brothers embraced the moment to innovate, propelling Unseenlabs into the future of space-based maritime surveillance.
Unseenlabs continues to push boundaries, providing unrivaled data and insights to enhance maritime safety and security worldwide.

Meeting the Needs of the Maritime Industry
In 2015, the Galic brothers identified a critical issue: maritime stakeholders lacked visibility over their own waters, including exclusive economic zones and territorial seas. Existing surveillance systems were outdated and inadequate, allowing illegal activities to persist undetected. Unseenlabs was founded to bridge this gap by delivering the most accurate and comprehensive maritime intelligence available.
Miniaturization on Space-Based Surveillance
Twenty years ago, private companies had little opportunity to engage in space-based maritime surveillance due to the prohibitive costs of satellite launches. This field was dominated by governments and major aerospace corporations. However, the rise of the New Space era in the mid-2000s transformed the industry. Advances in miniaturization significantly reduced manufacturing expenses, making space technology more accessible to private companies.
