About HawkEye 360

HawkEye 360 is a satellite-based radio frequency (RF) data analytics platform delivering advanced geospatial intelligence and global RF signal monitoring. Utilizing a proprietary constellation of commercial satellites, the platform detects, locates, and analyzes RF emissions from radar systems, communication networks, navigation systems, and other RF sources worldwide. The system provides real-time and historical RF activity insights, enabling defense organizations, intelligence agencies, and commercial entities to identify illicit activities, monitor maritime traffic, track unauthorized communications, and enhance situational awareness. HawkEye 360 transforms raw satellite data into actionable intelligence through advanced signal processing and geospatial analysis. When deployed through AiDOOS, the platform benefits from enhanced governance frameworks, streamlined enterprise integrations, optimized data processing workflows, and scalable cloud infrastructure. AiDOOS enables organizations to rapidly provision HawkEye 360 services, manage multi-organizational access, integrate with existing security operations centers, and scale RF monitoring capabilities across global operations without managing underlying satellite and infrastructure complexity.

Challenges It Solves

  • Limited visibility into global RF emissions and unauthorized communications
  • Inability to rapidly locate and identify illicit signal sources across vast geographic areas
  • Difficulty monitoring maritime and aviation activities in remote regions without ground infrastructure
  • Lack of real-time geospatial intelligence for threat detection and response operations
  • Slow integration of satellite intelligence with existing defense and security systems
