Maxar Technologies, a provider of comprehensive space solutions and secure, precise, geospatial intelligence, announced that Aurora Insight Inc., a company acquired by Maxar in December 2022, has received a Stage II contract extension from the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) for commercial radio frequency (RF) remote sensing.<\/p>\n
Aurora Insight, now part of Maxar\u2019s Earth Intelligence business, was previously awarded the NRO\u2019s Strategic Commercial Enhancements Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) Framework Stage I contract, which focused on the modeling and simulation of its capabilities to support the U.S. government\u2019s current and future commercial RF reconnaissance needs. The Stage II option provides Maxar the opportunity to demonstrate the real-world performance of its commercial RF constellation to support U.S. government missions.<\/p>\n
Maxar will demonstrate how space-based mapping of the world\u2019s RF environment can enhance and augment existing capabilities. Maxar\u2019s RF measurements span a wide range of frequencies that include LTE, 5G, satellite communications, radars, GPS, and other types of signals, and these measurements are being applied to commercial and government use cases. The Stage II award is an important step in getting commercial RF data to U.S. government users.<\/p>\n
“We are honored to have the opportunity to demonstrate the value of commercial RF data to support key U.S. government mission needs,\u201d said Tony Frazier, Maxar\u2019s Executive Vice President and General Manager, Public Sector Earth Intelligence. \u201cWe are particularly excited to integrate RF capabilities with our industry-leading satellite imagery, 3D data, and analytics.”<\/p>\n
Jennifer Alvarez, co-founder and former CEO of Aurora Insight, who now leads Maxar\u2019s RF solutions program, is scheduled to speak on the topic of \u201cRadio Frequency Data \u2013 the Soundtrack to a Silent Movie\u201d at the GEOINT 2023 Symposium, taking place May 21-24 in St. Louis, Missouri.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
