Our mission is to provide actionable, trusted, and valuable signals intelligence to the U.S. Government and allied customers. • We make the world safer and more secure by providing mission-critical capabilities for defense and intelligence applications. • We identify and comprehend highly complex signals intelligence. • We apply our technology advantage to protect, preserve, and defend the national interests of the United States and its allies. Our values are deeply embedded in service and leadership, guiding our efforts to support critical intelligence, defense, and security initiatives across the world. We are privileged to serve our nation, our allies, and our shared humanity. Who We Are HawkEye 360 provides secure end-to-end signals solutions which are tightly integrated into the fabric of national security architectures. As a trusted signals intelligence partner to the U.S. Government and its allies, we are the first commercial space-enabled defense technology company to disrupt electronic warfare at scale. We deliver shareable, battlefield-proven radio frequency (“RF”) intelligence that supports Warfighters during varied cycles of geopolitical volatility. We operate across the entire value chain from design and build, to data collection, to processing and analysis, delivering capabilities and insights to customers throughout our global allied defense landscape. Where We Started HawkEye 360 was founded in 2015 by a team of military veterans, engineers, and national security technologists. From our beginning, we have disrupted the SIGINT market that had historically been served by traditional defense providers. We identified a critical gap in unclassified RF signals intelligence across the U.S. Government and allied nations. We then developed advanced processing capabilities and an extensive space-based RF database to deliver actionable SIGINT insights to address this gap. RF signals intelligence had historically been limited to state actors until we built upon the structural tailwinds of more accessible satellite launch, satellite miniaturization, and cloud computing power to create an end-to-end unclassified analytics capability. We created a proprietary data collection system leveraging small-satellite technology to provide unprecedented commercial access to RF signal data from on-orbit sensors, delivering a new form of unclassified intelligence that was previously unavailable. In parallel, we built a signals processing platform with proprietary algorithms using our unclassified collected data to power our differentiated processing and analytics capabilities. We are continuously evolving and adding disruptive, new capabilities – through launching additional satellites, developing new and increasingly sophisticated sensors, expanding our RF emitter database, optimizing our analytics and insights, and perfecting increasingly mission-specific algorithms in our constant effort to provide the most possible value to our customers. ISA Acquisition In December 2025, we completed our acquisition of Innovative Signal Analysis, Inc. (“ISA”). This acquisition enhances our existing offerings by providing critical signal processing technologies, including detection and classification across multiple domains, such as air, land, and maritime domains, while gaining access to classified architecture, thereby strengthening our relationship with the U.S. Government and the U.S. intelligence community. This acquisition allows us to combine our unclassified satellite collectors with highly trusted classified algorithms, unlocking a larger national security augmentation market. Additionally, unclassified ISA algorithms and expertise enhance our signal processing platform, allowing us to offer improved, automated capabilities to an expanded set of U.S. Government and international customers. HawkEye 360 Today We are disrupting the defense technology industry through our transformational strategy focused on new on-orbit capabilities, signal processing enhancements, and optimization of our artificial intelligence/machine learning (“AI/ML”) analytics algorithms using our expansive RF emitter database. Our algorithms are designed, improved, and validated on over one billion data points from our proprietary signals archive, uniquely collected by our sensor network. With over 30 satellites on orbit and additional clusters in development, we maintain a robust global operational footprint and are committed to expanding our reach, improving our revisit rate and latency, and accelerating product delivery to our customers. We are a key provider to the U.S. Government of signal processing algorithms, customized hardware, and commercial SIGINT data and information. We operate across classified and unclassified data, leveraging relationships with the U.S. Department of War (the “DoW”) and the U.S. intelligence community and the international equivalents of our allies around the globe. Our Total Addressable Market Our total addressable market (“TAM”) today consists of the global RF spectrum exploitation market. We estimate that this TAM represents an approximately $24 billion opportunity as of October 2025, according to a study we commissioned by Renaissance Strategic Advisors (the “Renaissance Study”). This market encompasses collection systems and associated processing and analysis services. This includes sensors, payloads, algorithms, and services that support data collection. We expect our TAM to reach approximately $34 billion by 2030, driven by the expansion in the number of sensors across domains, growth in support services, and increasing government demand for contractor-sourced RF data. Our TAM is comprised of U.S. and allied international government markets and does not yet include commercial opportunities. Our business has significant product offerings for selling to these customers. We are scaling our capabilities to capture a larger share of this rapidly growing market. The Problem We Address We operate in an unprecedented and increasingly unstable environment that demands an active intelligence and defense posture. Even during periods of peace, the need for ongoing surveillance of borders, maritime environments, and the aerial domain, as well as ensuring compliance with treaty provisions, drives strong demand growth for our offerings. Our customers face ongoing adversarial threats in active conflicts and require real-time situational awareness across the signal spectrum. Customers increasingly demand rapid, actionable data, edge autonomy, and cost-effective mission solutions. Traditional defense contractors have been unable to meet these rapidly evolving technological needs. Meanwhile, governments are accelerating investment in defense capabilities to address geopolitical uncertainty and to satisfy ever growing needs for valuable and timely intelligence. As a result, the defense and intelligence communities are increasingly turning to commercial vendors such as HawkEye 360 to fulfill these needs. What We Do HawkEye 360 delivers a variety of tailored SIGINT capabilities across the value chain with direct integration into national security architectures for U.S. and allied governments. We developed a fully integrated RF data platform encompassing collection, end-to-end signal processing, signals library, and proprietary analytics. Our data and unclassified algorithms flow into U.S. and allied collection systems, while our classified algorithms are trusted and integrated within many U.S. SIGINT programs. As a result, we believe we are indispensable to national security architectures across the value chain. Through our partnerships, we bring decades of DoW relationships and multi-domain expertise across space, airborne, maritime, and terrestrial systems. We are trusted to deliver mission-ready capabilities and insights to support strategic decision-making, situational awareness, and operational effectiveness across a wide range of mission needs. We fill intelligence gaps for our customers while building out their national SIGINT capabilities through training, analytics, dedicated hardware development, and customized intelligence platforms. Examples of these solutions include: • Customized SIGINT solutions including hardware, algorithms, and software capabilities; • Monitoring maritime activity in a customer’s regional domain; • Tracking military radar and air defense systems; • Tracking extremist group communications, movement, and activity; • Maintaining border security and providing tactical Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (“ISR”) on battlefield environments; • Ensuring navigational integrity of global navigation satellite systems (“GNSS”); and • Core signal processing algorithms used in national government SIGINT systems. Our offerings range from operational deployment in Ukraine to global positioning system (“GPS”) disruption monitoring in the Middle East and integration within critical classified U.S. Government processing chains. Our acquisition of ISA further enhances these offerings through critical signal processing technologies, including detection and classification across multiple domains, expanded ground processing, and trusted classified and unclassified algorithm expertise, strengthening our ability to deliver integrated SIGINT solutions across both classified and unclassified environments. These solutions are deployed in high-stakes environments where mission success, precision, technical excellence, reliability, and intelligence superiority are paramount to our customers. Our Technology Advantage Our vertically integrated technology stack powers the HawkEye 360 signal processing ecosystem, enabling continuous evolution and transformation to meet emerging defense and intelligence needs. We refer to this technology as the HawkEye 360 Signal Processing Platform, which can ingest data from multiple collectors, route to the appropriate foundational signal processing algorithms, and fold in high-order analytics functions per customer demand. • Collection: We design, manufacture, own, and operate a global constellation of over 30 satellites that collect data in proprietary formations of three satellites, with broad coverage from 30 megahertz (“MHz”) to 18 gigahertz (“GHz”) and a revisit rate of less than 45 minutes globally. • End-to-End Signal Processing: We use proprietary signal processing algorithms to detect and characterize a wide set of emitter types, including radars, jammers, beacons, and mobile radio devices. Our algorithms are used to process classified data for the U.S. Government, and separately, unclassified data within our own system. Our advantage comes from our processing and geolocation intellectual property and our unique data platform, as well as decades of operating within U.S. Government systems. • Proprietary Analytics and Insights: Our analytics and insights capabilities operate on the outputs of our signals processing algorithms. We employ our proprietary AI-enabled algorithms to identify, track, analyze, and predict specific emitters, converting data into insights for our intelligence partners. Our insights identify patterns of life, classify and identify emitters, predict activity, detect threats, and enhance situational awareness. Our unclassified data analysis promotes greater accessibility for the United States and its allies, while our classified capabilities serve to further entrench us with our intelligence customers. Our First-Mover Advantage The HawkEye 360 Signal Processing Platform is built on highly complex proprietary signals algorithms, designed by signal processing experts, supported by our constellation of over 30 satellites on orbit, and developed on more than a decade of research and development (“R&D”) and capital investment. As a result, we believe our platform has collection scale, latency, geolocation accuracy, revisit rates, and technical optimization that would take years for a competitor to replicate. Furthermore, our RF emitter database and collection data archive are built on years of contested-environment data collection and a mature processing pipeline, making it difficult for a competitor to replicate our data advantage. This data and technology feeds into our AI/ML models to create unique emitter identification, pattern of life analysis, and other insights. We believe our strength in this area, combined with our ability to fuse data from multiple sources and platforms, makes us less vulnerable to becoming commoditized, especially in comparison to other space-based intelligence collecting satellite constellations, such as electro-optical and synthetic aperture radar imagery. In addition, we are vertically integrated in our customers’ value chains, allowing us to serve customers across all their needs (e.g., specialized algorithm development or end-product analyses). Operationally, we have recruited engineers with prior experience in premier government and defense industrial base signal processing environments, and nearly half of our personnel hold security clearances. We deploy our own capital at risk, and our nimble business model allows us to move quickly, building out capacity ahead of customer demand. We have been purpose built from inception to serve the U.S. Government and its allies, with whom we have built trusted relationships over the past decade. As a result, we have built sales infrastructure, product orientation, and program management support to serve our customers. Serving Our Customers We serve the world’s most demanding customers, addressing their highest-priority defense needs with precision, trustworthiness, and agility.
