Allied Minds plc (ALM.L), a science and technology development and commercialization company, announced Thursday the formation of HawkEye 360, Inc., which will use a constellation of small satellites in low Earth orbit or LEO to collect data, perform analytics and generate reports on wireless signals.
These are capable of detecting wireless signals that can be used to track and monitor global transportation networks, assist with emergencies, as well as other data analytics and reporting services to a broad range of customers.
Charles Clancy and Bob McGwier of Virginia Tech's Hume Center for National Security and Technology originally developed the data processing technology being licensed by Allied Minds. They are co-founding HawkEye 360 with Chris DeMay, who most previously worked for the National Reconnaissance Office. DeMay will be joining HawkEye 360 as Chief Operating Officer.
According to the firm, HawkEye 360 seeks to provide highly accurate maritime situational awareness, collecting information about vessels to create a wealth of current and historical data useful for commercial planning as well as emergency response. Similar data will be available for planes, ground transportation, and logistics industries, the company noted.
John Serafini, Vice President at Allied Minds and Chief Executive Officer of HawkEye 360, said, "HawkEye 360's technology will allow for unprecedented analysis of wireless signals. Space-based detection of RF signals allows us to accurately locate and characterize difficult-to-visualize spectrum information in a way that's both global and timely."
