HawkEye 360 Selects GomSpace to Manufacture Pathfinder Mission Payload


HawkEye 360 plans to harness GomSpace’s proven expertise in small-satellite
radio and antenna technology for its Pathfinder mission, which is scheduled for
launch and testing in late 2017.

HawkEye 360, Inc., which is developing a radio frequency (RF) detection and
mapping system using a constellation of small satellites in low Earth orbit
(LEO), announced today that it has selected Danish space components company
GomSpace to provide the payload for its Pathfinder cluster satellite mission.

GomSpace is providing their flight-proven software-defined radio platforms and
antennas to serve as the payload for HE360’s Pathfinder mission, which is
scheduled for launch and testing in late 2017. By utilizing GomSpace’s expertise
and product line in small-satellite radio and antenna technology, HawkEye 360 is
moving quickly to develop one of the world’s first privately funded space-based
global wireless monitoring systems.

HawkEye 360’s small satellite constellation aims to enable commercial
applications such as allowing government and corporate customers to dynamically
monitor transportation networks across air, land and sea. For government
regulators, telecommunications companies and satellite broadcasters, HawkEye
360’s system is being designed to be able to monitor RF spectrum usage to
identify areas of interference. The system could also help to detect and locate
activated emergency beacons to improve response times in life-threatening
situations.

“GomSpace has a strong, established set of small satellite components and
payloads that have a proven space flight history and a record of technology
innovation,” said Chris DeMay, Chief Operating Officer and co-founder of HawkEye
360. “Selecting GomSpace marks an important step forward in our development of
the on-orbit capabilities that will be able to serve government and commercial
customers.”

Space-based detection of RF signals will allow HawkEye 360 to locate and
characterize difficult-to-visualize wireless spectrum information in a more
accurate and efficient manner when compared to terrestrial detection and image
analysis. By taking RF data and turning it into actionable information, HawkEye
360 will be able to give commercial enterprises and governments better knowledge
to help make critical decisions.

“We are excited to support HawkEye 360 in their mission to launch the Pathfinder
mission and to enable new business opportunities based on small satellites and
our leading position within innovative radio payloads," said Niels Buus, CEO of
GomSpace.

About HawkEye 360

HawkEye 360 is developing a constellation of small satellites in low Earth orbit
(LEO) to generate reports on wireless signals that can be used to track and
monitor global transportation networks, assist with emergencies, as well as
other data analytics services. The company seeks to provide highly accurate
maritime situational awareness, collecting information about vessels to create a
wealth of current and historical data useful for commercial planning and
monitoring, as well as emergency response. Similar data will be available for
airborne and land-based transportation and logistics industries. HawkEye 360’s
data processing technology was originally developed at Virginia Tech’s Hume
Center for National Security and Technology. More information about HawkEye 360
