aid: hawkeye-360 name: HawkEye 360 description: >- HawkEye 360 is a Herndon, Virginia-based radio frequency (RF) data analytics and geospatial intelligence company that operates the first commercial satellite constellation purpose-built to identify, process, and geolocate a broad range of RF signals from space. Founded in 2015 by Chris DeMay, Charles Clancy, and Bob McGwier, the company flies clusters of three small satellites in formation that use time- and frequency-difference-of-arrival triangulation to pinpoint emitters across VHF through Ku-band. As of 2025, HawkEye 360 has placed 36 Hawk satellites on orbit across 12 operational clusters. Its core products include RFGeo (the underlying RF signal mapping and geolocation data product), RFIQ (its RF intelligence data product recently selected by NASA Commercial LEO programs), and Mission Space, a web-based RF geospatial intelligence analysis platform. The company also offers a Regional Awareness Subscription (RAS) service providing persistent monitoring of high-interest regions such as the Mediterranean, South China Sea, and the Korean Peninsula. In December 2023 HawkEye 360 acquired Maxar Intelligence's RF Solutions business (formerly Aurora Insight), expanding its spectrum-mapping capabilities. Customers are concentrated in defense, intelligence, national security, and maritime domain awareness — including the US Government, allied partners, and foreign military sales (a 2025 FMS to India was approved by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency). HawkEye 360 has filed an S-1 with the SEC for a proposed IPO. There is no public, self-service developer API, SDK, or open-source release; data access is delivered through gated commercial and government contracts via the Mission Space platform and a customer-facing API for ordering and integration of RF analytics into customer systems. type: Index position: Provider access: 3rd-Party image: https://kinlane-images.s3.amazonaws.com/shared/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg tags: - RF Geolocation - Radio Frequency Intelligence - Signals Intelligence - Geospatial Intelligence - Satellite - Smallsat Constellation - Space - Maritime Domain Awareness - Defense - Intelligence - National Security - Spectrum Monitoring - RFGeo - RFIQ - Mission Space url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/hawkeye-360/refs/heads/main/apis.yml created: '2026-05-24' modified: '2026-05-24' specificationVersion: '0.20' apis: [] common: - type: DomainSecurity url: security/hawkeye-360-domain-security.yml - type: Website url: https://www.he360.com - type: Products url: https://www.he360.com/products/ - type: MissionSpace url: https://www.he360.com/products/mission-space/ - type: RFGeo url: https://www.he360.com/products/rfgeo/ - type: Solutions url: https://www.he360.com/solutions/ - type: Constellation url: https://www.he360.com/our-constellation/ - type: About url: https://www.he360.com/about-us/ - type: News url: https://www.he360.com/news/ - type: Careers url: https://hawkeye360.applicantstack.com/x/openings - type: Contact url: https://www.he360.com/contact-us/ - type: LinkedIn url: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hawkeye-360 - type: Twitter url: https://twitter.com/hawkeye_360 maintainers: - FN: Kin Lane email: kin@apievangelist.com
