BlackSky Technology has received a potential $24-plus million task order to provide the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) with object detection monitoring of military and economic facilities worldwide.
The initial award under the Luno A Facility Operational Monitoring order is for $2 million, BlackSky said on Tuesday. The task order has a four-year period.
BlackSky operates a constellation of electro-optical Earth observation satellites. In addition to providing imagery to customers, the Northern Virginia-based company provides analytic services such as those being offered under Luno A.
NGA in September 2024 selected 10 companies to compete for upward of $290 million in task orders under the Luno A program, which is leveraging technologies like computer vision and other analytics applied to economic, military, and environmental monitoring.
Previously, NGA awarded Luno A task orders to Ursa Space Systems, Maxar Technologies, and Electromagnetic Systems Inc.
