HawkEye 360’s constellation of satellites geolocates radio frequency signals emitted by ships, including X-band and S-band marine navigation radars and VHF radios.
On 2021-06-07, HawkEye 360 incorporated a new trawling behavior detection capability into SEAker.
Starting with Cluster 2, HawkEye 360’s new generation of satellites processes data at a faster rate and is equipped with improved software-defined radios that can simultaneously collect a wide range of frequencies.
The Cluster 3 satellites will significantly expand HawkEye 360’s constellation collection capacity and reduce revisit rates.
HawkEye 360 Inc. is the first commercial company to use formation-flying satellites to create a new class of radio frequency data and data analytics.
Cluster 3 consists of three HawkEye 360 second-generation satellites, each containing an RF payload developed by HawkEye 360.
HawkEye 360’s overall system is designed to produce faster and more accurate geolocations.
Cluster 3 will join HawkEye 360’s Cluster 2 and the Cluster 1 Pathfinder satellites on orbit to expand the company’s baseline constellation.
Seven additional next-generation clusters are fully funded and scheduled for launch in 2021 and 2022 to complete HawkEye 360’s baseline constellation.
HawkEye 360’s constellation detects, characterizes, and precisely geolocates RF signals from emitters such as VHF marine radios, UHF push-to-talk radios, maritime and land-based radar systems, L-band satellite devices, and emergency beacons.
