HawkEye 360 RF data will be used to tip and cue U.S. Army surveillance platforms.
Although a CRADA does not commit the U.S. Army to procurement, a successful demonstration can lead the Army to purchase RF data and analytics services from HawkEye 360 or from intelligence community agencies.
Small satellite capabilities such as those offered by HawkEye 360 are positioned to provide advantages to the tactical warfighter.
Planned HawkEye 360 activities under the CRADA include satellite tasking, direct downlink to mobile ground stations, signal detection, signal characterization, and geolocation.
Commissioning of both sets of three satellites means the HawkEye 360 constellation now has a dozen next-generation satellites with enhanced payloads that began launching in 2021.
The expanded HawkEye 360 constellation can collect over a region of interest up to 16 times per day with an average revisit of 1.5 hours using enhanced payloads, additional ground stations, and optimized satellite management and data processing.
HawkEye 360's sixth satellite cluster is slated to launch on Rocket Lab's inaugural Electron mission from Launch Complex 2 on Wallops Island, Virginia no earlier than December 2022.
HawkEye 360 boosted the orbital capacity of Clusters 4 and 5 to provide clients with meaningful worldwide data.
HawkEye 360 activated new ground stations in Chile, South Africa, and New Zealand to download increasing amounts of data and reduce the time required to deliver data to customers.
