BlackSky Technology Inc. won a competitive U.S. Navy research contract to explore applications for advanced optical intersatellite link (OISL) terminals on its Gen-3 imaging satellites. This initiative directly supports the Navy’s Project Overmatch and the Department of Defense’s Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) initiatives.
The contract aims to provide warfighters with real-time access to imagery during time-sensitive military operations worldwide. Optical intersatellite links are laser-based communications relays designed for faster and more reliable data transmission.
BlackSky expects this technology to improve delivery timelines by a factor of 10 and increase data volumes by five times compared to current systems. This contract validates the strategic importance of BlackSky's Gen-3 capabilities for national security applications.
