On February 18, BlackSky Technology Inc. announced that it won a six-figure contract from a new strategic international customer to provide immediate, subscription-based on-demand Gen-2 imagery and analytics services and comprehensive analyst training on the AI-powered BlackSky Spectra multi-intelligence tasking and analytics platform. Analyst training will also emphasize the use of BlackSky’s automated broad area search and discovery tools.
“BlackSky’s software-first adoption model gives this new, strategic customer the ability to create an advanced national spaced-based intelligence expertise at disruptive speed and economics,” said Brian O’Toole, BlackSky CEO. “This deal exemplifies the essence of BlackSky’s land-and-expand approach where quick-access, subscription-based services build the foundation for expanded growth in the region.”
Delivering high-frequency, low-latency imagery and analytics with Spectra platform training will establish an essential base for developing an immediate and long-term national space-based capability. The training program will give analyst teams the ability to integrate BlackSky data with other sources of intelligence and generate intelligence products to support various missions, with a special emphasis on BlackSky’s proprietary AI-enabled broad area search and discovery technology developed through customer-funded research that the company continues to scale.
“As a trusted mission partner to many of the world’s most demanding government and military organizations, our commercial monitoring capabilities provide daily insight into the most important events affecting regional security,” said O’Toole.
