Amazon Web Services has selected 10 startup companies from the U.S. and Europe to study and develop space-based cloud technologies that have the potential to be applied to spacecraft launch and delivery, electronics and robotics, spacecraft hardware and software as well as earth observation efforts. The companies will receive up to $100,000 each in AWS […] More
HawkEye 360 announced that its Cluster 3 satellites designed to geolocate radio frequency signals and deliver RF geospatial intelligence data to government and commercial customers have arrived at the Cape Canaveral launch site in Florida in preparation for its upcoming launch aboard Spaceflight’s SXRS-5 mission. Cluster 3 consists of three satellites scheduled for liftoff as […] More
HawkEye 360 announced that its Cluster 2 satellites meant to geolocate radio frequency signals and deliver RF geospatial intelligence data to customers have completed functional testing and reached initial operating capability status. Cluster 2 is composed of three satellites that launched in January aboard a SpaceX-built Falcon 9 rocket and features GNSS antenna to detect GPS interference and increased computing capabilities capabilities for onboard data processing.
HawkEye 360 has appointed Kari Bingen, former deputy under secretary for intelligence and security at the Department of Defense, as chief strategy officer to provide guidance as the company navigates an evolving space policy landscape and a growing radio frequency (RF) data and analytics market. "Few people have the same depth of knowledge about space and intelligence policy as Kari Bingen," said CEO John Serafini.
Satellite technology company HawkEye 360 has released its Mission Space offering in a move to help customers identify radio frequency activity and visualize RF geospatial intelligence data. Alex Fox, an executive vice president of HawkEye 360, said the company developed the platform to create value for customers of its subscription RF signal data services and to drive adoption of commercial analytics technology for defense, intelligence and commercial applications.
SpaceX has sent its Falcon 9 launch vehicle to orbit carrying 143 spacecraft including 10 small satellites that will serve as part of the company's Starlink broadband constellation, CNBC reported Sunday.
HawkEye 360 will use its satellite constellation to provide the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency with radio frequency data and analytics in support of a pilot program centered on the use of commercial RF GEOINT. The company said Wednesday it will offer the service to help analysts perform augmented intelligence works to support various NGA missions.
Spaceflight has agreed to help HawkEye 360 launch three more clusters of the latter's radio frequency mapping satellite constellation. Spaceflight said Wednesday it will perform mission management, engineering and capacity support under a multiple launch services agreement with HawkEye 360.
Robert Cardillo, a member of the advisory board at HawkEye 360 and a four-time Wash100 awardee, shared in an interview posted Thursday his insights on geospatial intelligence and the need for the government to adopt commercial radiofrequency geospatial innovation.
HawkEye 360 has introduced a service offering designed to help customers gain signal awareness across large regions with the use of radio frequency monitoring technology. The Regional Awareness Subscription service uses HawkEye 360's RFGeo platform to support radio signal identification, analysis and monitoring activities, the company said Tuesday.
