Kleos Space

Luxembourg City, Luxembourg commercial

Kleos Space SA, founded in 2017 and based in Luxembourg City, is a space-based geolocation intelligence company. Kleos specializes in collecting, processing, and delivering data derived from Radio Frequency (RF) transmissions detected from space. This data is used to locate and identify signals emanating from land and sea, providing insights into potentially hidden or illegal activity. The company’s core offering centers around a proprietary platform that processes RF data collected by its constellation of satellites. This allows Kleos to create and deliver actionable, analytic-ready geospatial intelligence products, offering a cost-effective and complementary data source to traditional intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) methods. Unlike terrestrial-based assets, Kleos’ satellite network provides wide-area surveillance capabilities, unaffected by weather, distance, or sea state. Kleos focuses on applications within the defence & security sectors, as well as critical areas like maritime safety and border protection. Specific use cases highlighted include counter-piracy, illegal fishing detection, search and rescue operations, people and drug trafficking monitoring, and improving overall border security. The company provides access to both recent and archived data products through a simple API on a recurring license basis, positioning itself as a provider of accessible and timely RF-based intelligence to a growing market. Kleos Space is publicly listed on the ASX and Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ASX: KSS, Frankfurt: KS1).

DDK Positioning

Brisbane, Australia commercial

DDK Positioning is a Brisbane, Australia company founded in 2019 developing software-defined receiver technology to use LEO satellite signals — primarily Starlink and other broadband LEO constellations — as opportunistic positioning sources. Unlike traditional GNSS (GPS, Galileo) which requires dedicated navigation signals, DDK's approach processes Starlink's communication signals (Doppler measurements, timing) to extract positioning information from a constellation that was not designed for navigation but happens to provide far stronger signals, faster geometry change, and denser coverage than GPS satellites. This Signals of Opportunity (SoOP) technique can achieve sub-meter accuracy in environments where GPS is jammed, spoofed, or blocked. DDK competes with NextNav, Xona Space Systems, and Satelles in the LEO-PNT (positioning, navigation, timing) market.
