BlackSky Defense

BlackSky Defense is a U.S.-based company specializing in real-time space-based intelligence solutions for defense, intelligence, and global security organizations. Founded in 2018, the company focuses on delivering timely and actionable insights through its constellation of satellites and the BlackSky Spectra® platform. BlackSky differentiates itself by offering on-demand, taskable satellite imagery with a high frequency of revisits – capturing up to 15 time-diverse images of a location throughout the day – and automated, AI-powered analysis.

Key to BlackSky’s capabilities is its Gen-3 satellite constellation, which provides superior resolution, revisit rates, access, and analytical power. This technology enables the rapid delivery of intelligence, designed to support urgent decision-making in dynamic environments. BlackSky offers both flexible, on-demand tasking (“BlackSky ON-DEMAND”) and assured, persistent monitoring capabilities (“BlackSky ASSURED”) to meet diverse customer needs.

BlackSky has secured contracts with leading global organizations, including a recent multi-year award exceeding $30 million to integrate its Gen-3 tactical ISR services into a secure international customer environment. The company positions itself as a trusted partner for organizations requiring speed, scale, and reliability in their intelligence operations, with a focus on providing intelligence “at the speed of conflict.”

Through its technology and service offerings, BlackSky aims to provide a significant advantage in real-time situational awareness and decision-making for its customers.
