We work with data from a bunch of different sensors (radar/optical/etc. from satellites/drones/planes, acoustic, text, and a bunch more) - some of the tools in our tooling pipeline has previously been paid services by companies that specialize in those things. For example, say you have a SAR image, and want to classify if there are some vessels on that image, and if so - identifying what vessels? A company will do that for you. For approximately $100 pr. image. Or maybe some tool to analyze the radar parameters of some object (like what sort of radar a vessel or airplane has), also something niche companies will do for you, at a price. People would be surprised to hear now many thousands a license to some analysis package costs annually. The people that use these services, tend to be analysts and domain experts. Personally I have SWE experience prior to moving to analysis, but I've always been too bogged down with analysis-work to actually develop the tools I've wanted. And budget constraints have made it hard to hire a team of devs to only work on building tools. Luckily the advancements in LLMs have made that part much, much easier. So now we are able to get together, plan out the tools we want, and actually get things done. I was maybe a bit loose with the "vibe-coding" part. We are mainly domain experts, but the software engineering experience varies from very little - to quite experienced, so we're not completely fumbling in the dark.
