Its customers were commercial companies and civil agencies concerned about safety in orbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lot has changed since then. The number of satellites in low Earth orbit \u2014 about 1,200 miles above the planet \u2014 grew from less than 1,000 to closer to 9,000. The creation of the Space Force in 2019 and increasing threats from adversaries is driving more demand from military customers in the U.S. and abroad who want more insight into what\u2019s happening in the domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LeoLabs CEO Tony Frazier, who joined the company in February after 13 years at Maxar Technologies and its legacy companies, said those shifts have significantly changed the make up of the firm\u2019s customer base, which is now mostly made up of defense clients. In the first half of this year, the company booked a record $20 million in new contracts, the majority of them for military customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Frazier recently sat down with Defense News to discuss the company\u2019s evolution, opportunities to support new missions in the Space Force and its international expansion. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>What opportunities does LeoLabs see to work with the U.S. Defense Department on existing and emerging missions like on-orbit refueling and satellite servicing or dynamic space operations?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I like to think of our company as building a living map of orbital activity, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2023\/08\/11\/how-the-space-force-is-preparing-its-ground-systems-for-dynamic-ops\/\" target=\"_blank\">and it should enable dynamic space operations<\/a>. We have these six radar sites that have 10 active radars where we\u2019re collecting over a million measurements a day of these objects, which tell us where things are and allows us to predict where they\u2019re going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We really think of what we\u2019re doing as a way to supplement the architecture. The U.S. Space Force is working to build a hybrid space architecture that\u2019s able to take on these various missions. As you know, they released their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2024\/04\/10\/space-force-lays-out-commercial-partnerships-plan-to-speed-procurement\/\" target=\"_blank\">commercial space integration strategy in April of this year<\/a>. Space Domain Awareness was one of the mission areas that was called out as a high-risk mission. In order to be able to get the level of persistence that we need across all the orbital regimes, it\u2019s going to take a combination of government sensors as well as other commercial and allied sensors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the things that really distinguishes LeoLabs is that we have strong coverage in the southern hemisphere. We have active radar sites in Western Australia, in New Zealand, and also strong coverage in Costa Rica and the Azores [off the coast of Portugal]. And that fills gaps in coverage that then allow our customers to be able to maintain custody of these important objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>As LeoLabs\u2019 customer base has expanded, have you explored new approaches for delivering capabilities?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An evolution with my tenure coming into LeoLabs is that we\u2019re open to all business models that make sense for the customer. That could range from the current model \u2014 which is company-owned, company-operated where the customers subscribe to a service \u2014 to government-owned government-operated, government-owned contractor-operated and everything in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>One of the contracts you received this year was with the Air Force Research Laboratory. Can you describe the work you\u2019re doing with them?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We actually have two contracts with them. One is for an [Ultra High Frequency] system and the other is for an S-band system. And what that technology will do is it will allow us to be able to extend our capabilities into other orbital regimes as well as do more sophisticated tracking. Things like non-cooperative launch and more aggressive maneuver tracking are all things that matter in that life cycle. That\u2019s certainly aligned with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/opinion\/2024\/06\/07\/defining-dynamic-space-ops-what-it-means-to-stay-dominant-in-orbit\/\" target=\"_blank\">many of the emerging threats<\/a> that we\u2019re hearing from the U.S. and our allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Beyond the U.S., what other countries are you working with?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our longest standing customer is Japan. And it\u2019s been great to evolve with them as they\u2019ve gotten more sophisticated in their military space command to really provide foundational capability that supports their operational planning, their tracking of high value assets, as well as their ability to monitor other kinds of objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What we\u2019ve seen is that there\u2019s an opportunity to kind of replicate that across other regions. We\u2019ve seen a strong pickup across both Asia Pacific as well as in Europe. We\u2019re not in a position to disclose all the customers, but we\u2019ve seen that result in material contract awards. Of the $20 million that we were able to attract in the first half of the year, the largest segment was from international customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The use case that we\u2019re seeing is really interesting. As I mentioned, there\u2019s 9,000 active satellites in low Earth orbit today. The bulk of those are commercial. But we now have close to 1,000 satellites that are being flown by China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. So, the real demand signal we\u2019re seeing is that there\u2019s a desire to monitor those objects at very high frequency. And that kind of drives the core service that we provide to those military customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pipeline is very robust. We\u2019re in discussions and evaluations with dozens of countries that have a need for these services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company&#8217;s CEO, Tony Frazier, said
