BARSC is the membership organisation for companies turning remote sensing expertise into commercial success.
We promote, connect and support organisations providing commercial remote sensing data, products and services. Whether your company works with satellites, aircraft, drones, sensors, data platforms, analytics or specialist services, BARSC gives you a stronger voice and greater visibility.
Our mission
Our mission is simple: to help BARSC members grow.
We promote their capabilities, connect them with potential customers and partners and represent their commercial interests across industry and government.
By making it easier for organisations to discover and engage with trusted remote sensing suppliers, BARSC supports both its members and the wider adoption of remote sensing.
Helping members win more business
Remote sensing and earth observation companies have exceptional expertise but reaching the right buyers can be difficult.
BARSC helps members communicate what they offer, demonstrate the value they deliver and connect with organisations that need their capabilities.
Through BARSC, members can:
- Increase the visibility of their company, products and services
- Reach prospective customers, partners and collaborators
- Showcase expertise through BARSC’s website, content and events
- Build relationships across the remote sensing supply chain
- Learn about relevant commercial and industry opportunities
- Strengthen their credibility through membership of a recognised industry association
- Contribute to a collective voice with government and other influential organisations
Connecting demand with capability
Remote sensing helps organisations understand places, assets and change more clearly.
Its applications extend across agriculture, defence, infrastructure, energy, environmental management, insurance, construction and many other markets. Data may be captured by satellites, aircraft, drones or ground-based sensors, then transformed into information that supports better decisions.
BARSC connects organisations seeking these capabilities with member companies able to provide them.
Our membership spans the remote sensing value chain—from data collection and distribution to software, analytics, consultancy and specialist services.
Promoting our members
BARSC provides a shared platform from which members can communicate their expertise and reach a wider audience.
We use our website, news, insights, events and industry relationships to highlight member capabilities and promote the practical and commercial value of remote sensing.
When potential customers approach BARSC looking for expertise, our role is to help them identify relevant member companies.
Building a stronger commercial community
BARSC brings companies together to exchange knowledge, develop partnerships and explore new opportunities.
Our meetings, presentations and industry activities help members build relationships with other suppliers, customers, researchers, investors, public bodies and decision-makers.
By working together, members can achieve greater visibility and influence than they could alone.
Representing the industry
BARSC gives commercial remote sensing companies a collective voice.
We engage with government, industry bodies and other stakeholders to communicate members’ priorities, champion UK capability and encourage greater use of remote sensing data, products and services.
The broader and more active our membership becomes, the stronger that voice will be.
