🔎 Search and Rescue operations rely on one critical capability: Making the right decisions in the shortest possible time.
In distress situations, accurately estimating drift trajectories, defining probable search areas and coordinating rescue assets are essential to improving operational efficiency and helping save lives at sea and on land.
At CLS, we develop satellite-based Search & Rescue solutions designed to support Rescue Coordination Centers (RCCs) and authorities involved in SAR operations worldwide.
Through THEMIS SAR, operators can manage SAR missions from a single platform combining:
🛰 Drift modelling
🌊 Search area calculation
📍 Search pattern generation
🚨 Rescue asset coordination
🤝 Operational decision support
Integrated within the broader Cospas-Sarsat ecosystem, these technologies contribute to improving the planning and coordination of time-critical rescue operations in increasingly complex environments.
📅 Last week, CLS teams attended the international Cospas-Sarsat Joint Committee, held from June 2 to 5. Alongside Capgemini and Thales Alenia Space, CLS showcased the SARNEXT solution, including MEOLUT Next, MCC Next and RCC Next capabilities powered by #THEMISSAR.
During the event, our colleague Anouk Beltan represented CLS alongside Kévin Salsac from Thales Alenia Space and Nicolas Viala from Capgemini, engaging with international SAR stakeholders and discussing the future of satellite-enabled Search & Rescue operations.
🌍 The event provided a valuable opportunity to exchange with international delegations involved in distress and rescue coordination, share operational feedback and explore the next generation of satellite-enabled #SAR services.

🌬️ Can seasonal forecasts and machine learning improve wind farm production forecasting for the next 6 months in the future?
👉 As power systems integrate increasing shares of renewable energy, anticipating wind power variability at seasonal timescales is becoming a critical challenge for grid operators, energy traders and asset managers.
At CLS, through our subsidiary @meteodyn, we are developing advanced forecasting approaches that combine seasonal climate predictions with machine learning to provide actionable insights on future wind energy production.
Our latest work leverages:
🔵 Seasonal forecast data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)
🔵 Gradient Boosting Machines (GBM) trained on historical production and meteorological data,
🔵 Quantile Regression to predict the full probability distribution of future monthly energy production rather than a single deterministic value.
📊 This probabilistic framework enables the estimation of key exceedance indicators such as P50 and P90, providing valuable information on downside production risks and helping stakeholders better anticipate periods of potential underproduction.
📈 Validated over a 9-year period (2017–2025) in a case study of a wind farm located in western France, the methodology demonstrates significant skill compared with climatological references, achieving an average 30% improvement in CRPS at a one-month lead time, while maintaining substantial forecast skill (27% improvement) even at the sixth months.
🎤 These results will be presented by Gang Huang at the @WindEuropeEvent Technology Workshop in Rotterdam, during the session:
"Skillful Seasonal Forecasting of Wind Farm Production Using Gradient Boosting Machines and Quantile Regression"
📅 Friday, 12 June 2026 | 13:30–14:30

Key technical features include:
✔️ automatic generation of oriented search rectangles along the flight path
✔️ configurable high-probability corridor width up to 100NM on each side of the route
✔️ accurate local and global weather data, including winds and currents
✔️ prioritization and labeling of search areas for operational deployment
✔️ editable geometries enabling operators to refine search zones based on mission context
✔️ seamless integration into existing Search & Rescue Unit allocation workflows
The solution is specifically designed to support fast operational decision-making while maintaining flexibility for complex trajectories and evolving SAR scenarios.
🌍 Integrated within THEMIS SAR, that already embeds IAMSAR Manual guidelines for aeronautical search planning, this new functionality contributes to improving the efficiency, consistency, and responsiveness of aeronautical operations.

❄️ Defence, sovereignty and resilience: polar regions are becoming major strategic areas.
As Arctic maritime routes progressively open and geopolitical tensions intensify, the need for maritime surveillance and situational awareness in these extreme environments is accelerating.
How can we monitor such vast, remote and hard-to-access areas?
Which technologies can today track sea ice, icebergs, vessels and sensitive maritime activities in polar regions?
And how can we guarantee the sovereignty and resilience of space capabilities in an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape?
Satellite technologies play a key role in addressing these challenges: radar imagery, AIS and satellite data fusion, ice drift modelling, vessel behaviour analysis, AI-powered maritime intelligence…
Polar-orbit satellite constellations also provide revisit capabilities particularly well suited to high-latitude monitoring.
Yet several challenges remain central:
➡️ improving the responsiveness of satellite tasking and image acquisition,
➡️ strengthening the resilience of space infrastructures,
➡️ ensuring sovereign access to strategic data,
➡️ and maintaining reliable, near real-time maritime awareness.
This week, Vincent Kerbaol, Director of CLS Brest and expert in satellite-based maritime surveillance, took part in a roundtable discussion during the forum Brest sur le Pont, dedicated to Defence and Space challenges in polar regions.

🌬️ LiDAR Data CFD Correction: improving wind measurement reliability in complex terrain
LiDAR technologies are now widely used for wind measurement campaigns. However, in complex terrain environments (hills, valleys, forested areas), airflow becomes non-uniform and can introduce significant bias into wind measurements.
At CLS, through , we provide a LiDAR Data CFD Correction service based on high-resolution CFD simulations to correct terrain-induced distortions and improve wind data accuracy.
The service enables:
✔️ sector-by-sector and height-by-height correction of LiDAR measurements
✔️ improved correlation with meteorological mast data
✔️ increased reliability for AEP calculations and bankability studies
📊 This scientific approach has been validated on multiple complex terrain sites with significant results:
• mean bias reduction up to 7%, resulting in an error of about 1-2%
• average performance error improvement up to -0.06% ± 2% and for some sectors, wind speed measurement errors below 1% in 50% of cases CFD-based LiDAR flow curvature correction in complex terrain; Meteodyn, CGN New Energy Holdings Co.,Ltd, Nanjing Movelaser Co., Ltd, 2022).
🌍 As wind projects move toward increasingly complex and high-yield sites, reducing uncertainty in wind resource assessment becomes critical. Even small deviations in wind speed measurements can significantly impact annual energy production estimates, project financing and investment decisions.
By combining LiDAR measurements with CFD-based flow modeling, developers and consultants can achieve a more robust understanding of site-specific wind behavior and reduce uncertainty throughout the project lifecycle.
⚙️ Compatible with major LiDAR technologies including ZX Lidars, WindCube® and Vaisala, this solution helps secure wind resource assessment in the most challenging environments.

🌬️ How much do you trust your Turbulence Intensity measurements?
Turbulence Intensity (TI) directly impacts turbine design, performance, fatigue loads and overall asset service life.
But offshore, measuring TI is far from straightforward.
Floating LiDAR systems do not measure wind at a single point, they sample the motion of a parcel of air, while the platform itself is moving.
The result: Quality of TI estimates can be significantly degraded.
And today, there is no universally accepted standard to correct this.
At CLS Group, we developed a correction methodology specifically tailored to our DeepCLidar buoy:
✔ Perform a transformation of measurement records into earth (fixed) coordinates
✔ Removal of motion-induced artifacts, including buoy eccentricity effects
✔ Methodology independent of sampling frequency and pattern
✔ Consistent TI correction across varying measurement conditions
📊 Result: up to 10% RMSE reduction in the critical 9–16 m/s wind speed range.
Not just better measurements, more reliable solutions across the entire project lifecycle.
📩 Want to improve your TI measurements? Let’s talk.

🌍 El Niño is back. What does it mean for fisheries?
🔍 According to the @WMO, there is around a 40% chance that an event will develop between May and July, while @NOAAClimate estimates up to a 90% probability by September. After the 2024 episode, this is a signal worth watching closely.
El Niño is driven by a weakening of the trade winds, reducing upwelling off South America, warming eastern Pacific waters, and disrupting marine ecosystems.
🎣For fisheries, the impacts are already well known:
- Productivity becomes more variable especially in the eastern Pacific, Peru, Ecuador and Chile making resources less predictable.
- Food webs shift, and species respond.
- Tuna, in particular, move as ocean conditions and prey availability change.
At CLS, we support this transition with ecosystem-based models like SEAPODYM, helping anticipate changes in habitats and better understand stock movements.

80% of participants experienced GNSS disruption in the past 12 months
Not a future risk. A current operational reality.
Thanks to everyone who joined our webinar, strong engagement and a clear takeaway:
GNSS can no longer be relied on alone in high-risk regions.
When positioning fails:
📍Crews lose situational awareness
📍Vessels appear in the wrong waters
📍Decisions are made on false data
This is not a positioning issue.
This is a control issue.
🛰️That’s exactly why we developed RockFLEET Assured:
✔ Trusted positioning, even when GNSS is compromised
✔ Real-time detection of jamming & spoofing
✔ Continuous operational visibility
Because when your GPS lies… you still need the truth.
