ICEYE US Secures NRO Contract for Commercial Radar Imagery
The National Reconnaissance Office has selected Irvine-based ICEYE US to provide high-resolution radar imagery under its Radar Commercial Augmentation program. This agreement deepens the integration of private-sector remote sensing into U.S. national security, allowing intelligence agencies to leverage unclassified data for rapid, global monitoring of critical targets.
ICEYE US CEO Ann Stevens noted that the selection underscores the agency's reliance on commercial technology to address complex collection challenges. The company’s satellites are capable of capturing imagery at resolutions as fine as 25 centimeters or covering swaths as large as 120,000 square kilometers. With the ability to move from order acceptance to data delivery in a matter of hours, the firm positions its technology as a critical supplement to existing national systems.
