Agreement enables ability to set up automated
tip-and-cue tasking and the fusing of signals and other
intelligence sources through BlackSky Spectra® to support tactical
ISR operations
BlackSky Technology Inc. (NYSE: BKSY) won a multi-year contract
with geospatial intelligence fusion company EMDYN (Emerging
Dynamics) to deliver space-based imagery services to international
customers. The agreement gives international ministries of defense
the ability to set up API-enabled automated tip-and-cue tasking and
the fusing of signals and other intelligence sources to support
real-time tactical operations.
“BlackSky and EMDYN’s combined services will bring space and
terrestrial data together for on-demand insights at scale, while a
mission is ongoing,” said Brian E. O’Toole, BlackSky CEO. “These
unique AI-driven services will reduce end-to-end latency across the
entire tasking-to-dissemination process.”
“EMDYN Platform was fully developed in-house to meet the growing
intelligence challenges in an increasingly unstable world,” said
Tim Van Renterghem, EMDYN founder and CEO. “Integrating BlackSky
satellite imagery into EMDYN Platform adds a powerful real-time
dimension that empowers analysts to derive accurate, actionable
intelligence much faster.”

design and a dedication to end-to-end AI-driven system automation.
