HawkEye 360

aid: hawkeye-360
name: HawkEye 360
description: HawkEye 360 is a Herndon, Virginia-based radio frequency (RF) data analytics and geospatial intelligence company
  that operates the first commercial satellite constellation purpose-built to identify, process, and geolocate a broad range
  of RF signals from space. Founded in 2015 by Chris DeMay, Charles Clancy, and Bob McGwier, the company flies clusters of
  three small satellites in formation that use time- and frequency-difference-of-arrival triangulation to pinpoint emitters
  across VHF through Ku-band. As of 2025, HawkEye 360 has placed 36 Hawk satellites on orbit across 12 operational clusters.
  Its core products include RFGeo (the underlying RF signal mapping and geolocation data product), RFIQ (its RF intelligence
  data product recently selected by NASA Commercial LEO programs), and Mission Space, a web-based RF geospatial intelligence
  analysis platform. The company also offers a Regional Awareness Subscription (RAS) service providing persistent monitoring
  of high-interest regions such as the Mediterranean, South China Sea, and the Korean Peninsula. In December 2023 HawkEye
  360 acquired Maxar Intelligence's RF Solutions business (formerly Aurora Insight), expanding its spectrum-mapping capabilities.
  Customers are concentrated in defense, intelligence, national security, and maritime domain awareness — including the US
  Government, allied partners, and foreign military sales (a 2025 FMS to India was approved by the Defense Security Cooperation
  Agency). HawkEye 360 has filed an S-1 with the SEC for a proposed IPO. There is no public, self-service developer API, SDK,
  or open-source release; data access is delivered through gated commercial and government contracts via the Mission Space
  platform and a customer-facing API for ordering and integration of RF analytics into customer systems.
