HawkEye 360 is developing a space-based civil global intelligence network that will use radio frequency (RF) technology to help monitor transportation across air, land and sea and assist with emergencies. The constellation, called Hawk, operates in low Earth orbit and will collect information on specific radio signals worldwide to provide high-precision radio frequency mapping and analytics.
