London, United Kingdom — 29/01/2026

Prometheus Space Technologies has officially launched its UK Environmental Disaster Detection Pilot Programme, now operating at LIVE status. The pilot delivers real-time intelligence on emerging environmental threats—flooding, storm systems, and severe winter weather—across the United Kingdom.

With active hazard detection spanning a 500 km radius and powered by multi-source, validated data fusion, the platform marks a leap forward in environmental risk intelligence. Flooding has been confirmed as the highest current national threat, with persistent storm and winter weather conditions escalating infrastructure and safety risks.

“This pilot proves that when we fuse real-time environmental data with predictive analytics, we don’t just observe—we act. Faster, smarter, and at scale,” said a spokesperson for Prometheus Space Technologies.


Key Insights from Today’s Assessment:

  • High flood risk – especially across Scotland and major river systems

  • Moderate storm and winter weather risks – linked to ongoing Atlantic low-pressure activity

  • Low seismic risk – continuous but non-critical monitoring maintained

Predictive models indicate that severe weather impacts are likely to persist over the next 48 hours, with compounding hazards expected over 2–5 days. Ongoing monitoring is essential to reduce disruption to infrastructure, public services, and emergency operations.


Pilot Capabilities: Direct National Impact

Aligned with the UK Civil Contingencies Act, the platform integrates with national and local emergency systems, delivering:

  • Real-time early warnings

  • Cross-agency coordination and communication

  • Protection of critical infrastructure (transport, energy, healthcare)

  • Enhanced national preparedness and public safety outcomes


Strategic Significance

This pilot affirms Prometheus Space Technologies’ commitment to space-enabled environmental resilience. By combining earth observation, advanced analytics, and live telemetry, the platform strengthens the UK’s ability to anticipate, respond to, and recover from climate-driven disasters.
