Slingshot Aerospace has awarded to Hawkeye 360 a radio frequency (RF) data provider contract for monitoring GPS interference. Hawkeye 360 will provide data for Slingshot’s space-based monitoring and detection of RF threats and support its Proliferated Low-Earth Orbit (pLEO) Data Exploitation and Enhanced Processing (DEEP) program for the United States Space Force’s Space Systems Command (SSC).

The partnership between Hawkeye 360 and Slingshot will make it possible to capture, process and characterize the RF signal environment into timely insights for U.S. government space operators.

Hawkeye 360’s data will support developmental and operational test events, which will ultimately provide information on how to detect early signs of illegal RF activity. The support and capabilities the companies are providing enables the U.S. Space Force to prevent and combat electronic warfare and discover early signs of GPS interference.
