Data Analytics satellite company HawkEye 360 won a commercial RF survey study contract from the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), the company announced Dec. 11.

HawkEye 360 will examine the integration of commercial RF capabilities and products into the NRO’s geospatial intelligence architecture. The company will be responsible for performing assessments, demonstrations, and analysis to validate that commercial RF survey, ordering, cataloging, and data products can integrate into the NRO’s network architecture.

“This award from the NRO will further our efforts to make our RF data readily accessible to serve the U.S. government,” HawkEye 360 CEO John Serafini said in a statement. “We believe our satellites can complement traditional government systems, introducing a commercial signals capability that is easy to access and share in support of mission needs.”

Financial details of the contract were not disclosed.
