About

HawkEye 360, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, is the world's first and leading commercial space-based signals intelligence company. It operates a constellation of over 30 microsatellites that detect, geolocate, and characterize a wide range of radio frequency (RF) signals, including communications, radar, and maritime emissions. This raw data is transformed into actionable intelligence for clients across defense, intelligence, and national security sectors.

The company's core business delivers mission-critical RF data and analytics. Its work supports a range of applications, from maritime domain awareness and electronic warfare to spectrum monitoring and disaster response. In 2025, HawkEye 360 became a public company, listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker HAWK.

The technical domains at the heart of the company's work include space systems, signals intelligence, and RF data analytics. The team combines deep experience across these fields with a focus on innovation in service of national security missions.
