BlackSky Technology Inc. (NYSE: BKSY) won a more than $100
million contract from a long-term strategic partner in the
international defense sector for real-time, space-based monitoring
capabilities. The new, seven-year deal secures annual capacity
minimums for reliable high-resolution, low-latency current Gen-2
and upcoming Gen-3 imagery and AI-enabled analytics services
through 2032.
“Dawn-to-dusk, high-cadence monitoring has become a foundational
piece for many of our customers’ daily intelligence operations,”
said Brian O’Toole, BlackSky CEO. “This commitment now gives the
customer priority, long-term access to capacity with the
flexibility to accommodate novel Gen-3 features as end user
requirements evolve.”
The combined capability of BlackSky’s innovative high-cadence
Gen-2 constellation, ground communications segment and Spectra®
tasking and analytics platform has reshaped industry expectations
for low-latency, space-based monitoring.
BlackSky’s software-first, subscription-based approach gives
customers the ability to easily incorporate Gen-3 capabilities into
their daily intelligence operations. This customer will be among
the first to seamlessly integrate very high-resolution 35 cm
imagery and sub-hourly revisit and delivery timelines into their
workflows as those advances become available.
“This contract validates market demand for the transformative
capabilities that BlackSky uniquely delivers through our proven
end-to-end, next-generation AI-enabled commercial architecture,”
said O’Toole. “Our customers rely on BlackSky as a trusted partner,
delivering real-time decision quality data at mission speed.”
BlackSky’s worldwide customer base tasks and receives thousands
of high-resolution images and analytics over priority areas of
interest every month, gaining visibility and insight into border
crossings, nuclear and port facilities, and other critical national
security and economic infrastructure at massive scale.
