 Kleos has been awarded a contract with the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) as part of its broad evaluation of new and emerging RF intelligence capabilities and providers Under the contract, Kleos will demonstrate the accuracy of itsradio frequency (RF) geolocation data over land and water. |
Kleos Space Inc, a space-powered Radio Frequency Reconnaissance Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) and Mission-as-a-Service (MaaS) provider, has been awarded a first stage contract, from the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) as part of the Strategic Commercial Enhancements Broad Agency Announcement (SCE BAA) Framework.
The NRO is responsible for maintaining global vigilance in times of peace and war. It develops, acquires, launches, and operates innovative space-based surveillance and reconnaissance systems that collect and deliver intelligence to enhance U.S. national security.
After a multiple-phase proposal process, Kleos was awarded the first stage contract under the NRO's SCE BAA Framework, focused on the analysis, modeling, and simulation of Kleos' capabilities to support the U.S. Government's current and future commercial radio frequency (RF) reconnaissance needs. The NRO's SCE framework continuously evaluates new and emerging capabilities and providers.
Under the project, Kleos will provide insights into how to optimize evolving commercial RF geolocation capability to enhance and augment existing capabilities in a persistent, resilient, cost-effective manner that is also easily shareable across the U.S. Government, and with international partners and allies.
Follow-on stages will emphasize tasking, data collection and direct delivery of data to end-users. This contract will allow Kleos to support the U.S. Government Defense, Intelligence, and Law enforcement missions, thanks to the integration of its data within the NRO's capabilities.
Kleos' Chief Revenue Officer, Eric von Eckartsberg said, "We are very proud to receive this contract with the NRO, and to start our projected journey to growth with RF Earth Observation data, which imagery companies have been enjoying for many years."
"This study project represents a significant opportunity for Kleos to help the NRO assess the operational and decision-making usefulness of commercial RF GEOINT and understanding how our unique data set
