About this report
In a world of intensifying great-power competition and pervasive contested environments, space-based signals intelligence has emerged as a critical source of situational awareness. HawkEye 360 Inc., an American deep-tech firm founded in 2015, operates a unique constellation of microsatellites that detect and geolocate radio-frequency (RF) emissions from orbit .
These spaceborne sensors can reveal hidden maritime vessels, identify radar activity, and expose GPS jamming – capabilities that are increasingly sought by NATO and European planners.
Key questions this report answers
- How does HawkEye 360's microsatellite constellation detect and geolocate radio-frequency emissions from orbit?
- What is the technology readiness of HawkEye 360's spaceborne RF sensing for revealing hidden vessels, radar activity, and GPS jamming?
- How could HawkEye 360's RF geolocation serve NATO and European planners, and what dual-use market applies?
- What capability gaps and dependencies arise from relying on a US firm for space-based signals intelligence in Europe?
