According to BlackSky, the agreement allows customers to utilise AI-powered automated tasking capabilities, granting immediate access to its proprietary satellite constellations. Clients will also be able to tap into BlackSky Archive imagery and analytics, and order data from third-party commercial constellations via the company’s Spectra tasking and analytics platform.
“BlackSky’s low-latency, high-cadence monitoring services give government security forces an unparalleled strategic and tactical first-to-act advantage,” said Brian O’Toole, CEO of BlackSky. “By increasing the speed, volume and diversity of space-based data sources, end users gain persistent visibility into pattern-of-life anomalies such as irregular migration or vehicle, vessel and aircraft movements.”
O’Toole added that the service model is well-suited to dynamic operational environments. “On-Demand subscriptions give our customers fast, flexible access to BlackSky’s global satellite imagery services and is ideal for operations where responsiveness is paramount, with immediate tasking, multi-sensor data fusion and mission-ready analytics when and where our customers need them,” he said.
BlackSky emphasised that its rapid revisit rates and AI-driven system automation provide industry-leading speed. The Spectra platform is capable of delivering up to 15 sets of time-diverse satellite imagery and analytics per day, supporting timely decision-making from senior command down to operational teams in the field.
