These satellites, which detect RF emissions from space, can be used to improve maritime domain awareness by locating ships with disabled identification systems. And <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/intel-geoint\/2022\/04\/25\/how-commercial-space-systems-are-changing-the-conflict-in-ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\">in the months leading up to the war in Ukraine<\/a>, the technology was used to pick up GPS interference signals across Eastern Europe that offered a glimpse into Russia\u2019s activity in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The six commercial space technology companies selected to participate in the NRO study are: Aurora Insight, Hawkeye 360, Kleos Space, PredaSAR, Spire Global and Umbra Lab. An NRO spokesman told C4ISRNET the contracts will have a six-month base period of performance, two initial options to extend the agreement by 24 months and potential opportunities to continue the work beyond that. Each company was awarded about $300,000, but funding could increase \u201cas mission value, customer requirements and on-orbit provider capabilities are confirmed,\u201d the spokesman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cToday\u2019s awards are another great example of NRO\u2019s efforts to innovate on all fronts as we continue to work with our partners in government to find new ways to build capacity, agility, speed and resilience into everything we do,\u201d NRO Director Chris Scolese said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the study contracts, companies will help the agency operationalize its use of commercial RF to support military users, the intelligence community and policymakers. In a statement, Hawkeye 360 said the program strengthens the NRO\u2019s partnerships in this area \u201cto explore the near- and long-term, high-impact capabilities commercial RF can deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commercial radio frequency is unclassified and has been in high demand in recent years. The NRO noted it has seen a greater call for the capability across its user base since 2019, when it issued its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/intel-geoint\/2019\/12\/11\/nro-looks-to-add-new-types-of-commercial-imagery\/\" target=\"_blank\">first contracts to study RF integration<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs evidenced by the quality and quantity of commercial data flowing to our partners and allies, commercial remote sensing is a mainstay not only for security and intelligence applications but also for helping manage humanitarian crises,\u201d Pete Muend, director of NRO\u2019s Commercial Systems Program Office, said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NRO released its Strategic Commercial Enhancement framework in 2021 and awarded study contracts to radar providers earlier this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The agency awarded study contracts to six companies to help operationalize its use of commercial radio frequency
