BlackSky Technology Inc. won another National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) Luno A delivery order for automated general change detection. This foundational space-based analytics award leverages BlackSky’s proprietary computer vision and other AI capabilities to identify areas of change caused by human activity. CEO Brian O’Toole stated that this Luno A award underscores the maturity and quality of BlackSky’s in-house AI capabilities in meeting the NGA’s stringent requirements for commercial space-based analytics services. BlackSky's ability to automatically detect anomalies and significant events at machine speed and global scale plays a critical role in shaping national security and military operations. Under this order, BlackSky will use its very high-resolution Gen-3 and high-cadence Gen-2 imagery, along with other commercial data sources, to identify areas of the Earth that have experienced change. BlackSky’s automated detection algorithms will monitor anomalies in real-time and report changes in natural resources, climate, infrastructure development, and economic and military activity.
