HawkEye 360<\/b> has closed a $55 million Series C Funding round, led by NightDragon<\/b>, with participation from existing investors Advance<\/b>, Razor\u2019s Edge Ventures<\/b>, Shield Capital<\/b>, Dorilton Ventures<\/b>, Adage Capital<\/b>, and Esri International<\/b>. HawkEye offers commercial Radio Frequency (RF) data and analytics captured by satellites. This funding, announced April 12, brings total investment funding raised to more than $155 million. <\/p>\n
The company said this funding will support the development and launch of three additional satellite clusters to expand the HawkEye constellation. The company is planning to have a fully deployed constellation by the end of 2022, with nine next-generation satellite clusters in orbit. HawkEye said the funding will also support ground infrastructure, communications, and software. <\/p>\n
HawkEye recently commissioned a trio of \u201cCluster 2\u201d satellites that were launched in January on SpaceX<\/b>\u2019s rideshare mission. <\/p>\n
The company was the first to offer commercially available RF tracking data after it launched its Pathfinder cluster of three satellites in 2018. These satellites can track and geo-locate RF signals \u2014 anything that emits a signal across a broad range of emitters from VHF marine radios, UHF push-to-talk radios, maritime radar systems, AIS beacons, and L-band satellite devices. One example of this in action is tracking X-band and S-band radar on dark maritime vessels. <\/p>\n
\u201cSatellite technology is the next frontier in today\u2019s digital world,\u201d commented investor Dave DeWalt, NightDragon founder. \u201cNightDragon is proud to invest in HawkEye 360, which leads the way in commercial RF-sensing satellites. Filling this knowledge gap will allow governments, companies, and organizations to maximize their digital ecosystems.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
