On May 13, BlackSky Technology Inc. announced that it has signed Gen-3 early access agreements with multiple international defense sector customers for real-time, space-based monitoring capabilities. The customers will now be able to integrate very high-resolution, 35-centimeter imagery into daily intelligence operations, reducing the speed of analyses and opening a new, expansive set of mission solutions.
“These early access agreements demonstrate confidence in the quality and reliability of our imagery products and will give these customers transformative capabilities that BlackSky uniquely delivers through our proven end-to-end, next-generation AI-enabled commercial architecture,” said Brian O’Toole, BlackSky CEO.
The subscription-based contracts provide access to the BlackSky Spectra® tasking and analytics platform, through which customers will be able to order high-cadence, time-diverse dawn-to-dusk Gen-2 and Gen-3 imagery and AI-enabled analytics. These initial contracts are designed to scale in size and volume as the company increases available Gen-3 capacity over time.
“Dawn-to-dusk, high-cadence monitoring has become a foundational element of many of our customers’ space-based intelligence operations,” said O’Toole. “Our customers rely on BlackSky as a trusted partner, delivering real-time decision-quality data at mission speed.”
