About this report
Kleos Space S.A. is a Luxembourg-based startup that has swiftly become a noteworthy player in Europe’s drive for strategic autonomy in defense technology. Founded in 2017 amid Luxembourg’s ambitious space-sector expansion, the company operates a constellation of small satellites to collect radio-frequency (RF) signals from orbit.
By geolocating RF transmissions from ships and illicit actors “running dark” (for example, vessels that disable their Automatic Identification System), Kleos delivers actionable geospatial intelligence to uncover hidden activities at sea and on land.
