HawkEye 360 Air Defense Radar Monitoring

Air Defense Radar Monitoring automates air defense monitoring at scale, detecting, characterizing, and monitoring air defense radar systems with space-based signals intelligence to deliver early warning and high-confidence insight into evolving threats. Modern integrated air defense systems (IADS) are layered, mobile, and increasingly automated, creating challenges for analysts tasked with mapping threats across contested and politically sensitive regions where airborne ISR assets are limited by cost, access, and overflight restrictions. HawkEye 360 delivers a continuous stream of radar detections using space-based RF sensing and advanced signal processing, enabling operators to visualize system deployments, identify hotspots of activity, and monitor both fixed and mobile systems. Highlights include accelerated threat understanding (detecting, characterizing, and geolocating radar activity to streamline analysis), recurring wide-area coverage of denied or politically restricted regions without aircraft or ground assets, high-confidence detection of fixed and mobile radar deployments, and improved ISR efficiency by highlighting areas of radar activity to optimize tasking. Use cases include electronic order of battle updates, threat monitoring of radar activation and mobility in contested regions, early warning of escalation or adversary force movements, and ISR tasking optimization.
