BlackSky Selected by National Reconnaissance Office to Explore Commercial Hyperspectral Imagery Capabilities

HERNDON, Va. ~ BlackSky Technology Inc. (NYSE: BKSY) has been selected by the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) to explore commercial hyperspectral image capabilities under a multi-stage Strategic Commercial Enhancements Broad Agency Announcement Framework study contract.

Brian E. O'Toole, BlackSky CEO, stated that this contract further expands BlackSky's long term relationship with the U.S. government as an innovation partner for leveraging advanced commercial capabilities to meet emerging intelligence challenges.

The initial stage of the contract will involve demonstrating technical capabilities via modeling and simulation and validating business and cybersecurity concepts of operation. O'Toole added that next-generation hyperspectral imagery coupled with BlackSky's unique low-latency, high-frequency monitoring can expand real-time mission intelligence capabilities beyond the visible range.

Hyperspectral sensors help mission planners characterize objects based on material makeup, such as identifying artificial versus real vegetation, decoy equipment, and hazardous materials. Rapid-revisit, low-latency hyperspectral capabilities can significantly increase the ability to identify and maintain custody of objects of interest, penetrate enemy obfuscation techniques, and develop detailed pattern-of-life analyses in highly dynamic environments.
