IICEYE US provides persistent Earth observation using a large constellation of small Synthetic Aperture Radar satellites to image the Earth in all weather, day or night. It designs, builds, and operates its own satellites on American soil to serve U.S. government agencies such as NRO, NASA, NOAA, and commercial customers, offering both sellable SAR imagery (Data-as-a-Service) and subscription-based analytical solutions. Unlike optical imaging, SAR radar can see through clouds and darkness and supports rapid revisit and change-detection for applications like disaster response, defense, and environmental monitoring. The company’s goal is to supply continuous geospatial intelligence for national security, emergency management, and resource management while creating steady revenue from government contracts and commercial analytics through a US-based, FOCI-mitigated operation.

ICEYE US selected under NOAA contract to provide SAR imagery for Environmental Monitoring. Sep 15, 2026, 15:51 ET Award gives NOAA a pathway to task the world's largest SAR constellation for flood, sea ice, and disaster monitoring, day or night and through cloud cover IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - ICEYE US, a U.S. leader in commercial remote sensing and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite technology, today announced it has been selected as an awardee under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Space-Based Environmental Monitoring (SBEM) Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, a key part in the agency's effort to expand its use of commercial satellite data for environmental monitoring and weather forecasting. Under the program's Active Sensors category, ICEYE US will provide NOAA access to commercial SAR imagery of land, coastal, and ocean conditions. ICEYE US's radar satellites can collect imagery through cloud cover and darkness, supporting applications including flood and inundation monitoring, sea ice tracking, marine surveillance, disaster management, and resource mapping. That capability gives NOAA another way to observe conditions during hurricanes, floods, and other fast-moving events when adverse conditions can reduce optical visibility. ICEYE US operates as part of the world's largest SAR satellite constellation. In practical terms for NOAA, that means: * Faster answers when it matters most: more satellites in orbit means more frequent revisits over any given location, and imagery can be delivered in hours, not days, from order acceptance. * All-weather, day-or-night visibility: SAR imaging works through cloud cover and darkness, filling the gap left by optical satellites during active storms or overnight events. * Direct applicability to NOAA's mission: NOAA has identified SAR as useful for flood and inundation monitoring, sea ice characterization, marine surveillance, disaster management, and resource mapping, all areas where speed and reliability of data determine how fast responders can act. Ann Stevens, Chief Executive Officer of ICEYE US, said: "NOAA sees the value commercial SAR provides during environmental emergencies, and this award creates a long-term pathway to build on that experience. Across government, agencies recognize that commercial SAR can fill critical observation gaps by seeing through cloud cover and darkness and delivering intelligence at the speed of need. We're proud to support NOAA's mission and help protect lives, infrastructure, and assets." This selection adds to a growing list of U.S. government agencies relying on ICEYE US SAR data. In August 2026, the National Reconnaissance Office selected ICEYE US for its operational Radar Commercial Augmentation program, following a multi-year evaluation of commercial SAR capabilities. ICEYE US also provides commercial SAR data through NASA's Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition program for Earth science and research. Taken together, these selections reflect an accelerating shift toward commercial SAR as a standard tool in U.S. government environmental and national security missions. About ICEYE US ICEYE US is an industry-leading American remote sensing company based in southern California. ICEYE US engineers, qualifies and operates radar imaging satellites, delivering real-time monitoring of global economic activity, empowering U.S. government, allied, and commercial partners to make more accurate, timely decisions for the betterment of society. ICEYE US delivers persistent monitoring capabilities in support of national security, disaster response, infrastructure monitoring, and a broad range of government and commercial missions.

ICEYE US awarded contract under NRO's Radar Commercial Augmentation (RCA) program. Aug 05, 2026, 13:00 ET Award expands U.S. Intelligence Community access to commercial radar imagery and advances the role of commercial remote sensing in national security missions IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - ICEYE US, a U.S. leader in commercial remote sensing and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite technology, today announced it has been awarded a contract under the National Reconnaissance Office's (NRO) Radar Commercial Augmentation (RCA) program. Awarded by the NRO's Commercial Systems Program Office, the contract positions ICEYE US to deliver commercial SAR imagery tasking along with archive imagery, imagery-derived products, and development efforts for the U.S. Intelligence Community, Department of War, and authorized government users. RCA is the NRO's dedicated vehicle for procuring commercial radar imagery on behalf of the U.S. Government, and selection under the program reflects growing readiness to leverage commercial remote sensing alongside national systems - a step in maturing commercial radar for the U.S. Government that builds on ICEYE US's prior multi-year study contract with the NRO. Because ICEYE US SAR data is unclassified, collections can be shared across the defense, intelligence, civil, and allied and coalition partner community under existing sharing agreements, maximizing collaboration when it is needed most. "Commercial remote sensing is increasingly part of how the Intelligence Community augments some of its hardest collection challenges, and earning a place on the RCA program reflects the trust the NRO places in our technology and our team. We're focused on delivering the reliability and responsiveness this mission requires, and on continuing to advance what commercial radar can contribute to national security," said Ann Stevens, Chief Executive Officer of ICEYE US. ICEYE US satellites pair rapid tasking-to-delivery timelines - order acceptance to imagery in hours - with the flexibility to capture areas as large as 120,000 km^2 or at resolutions as fine as 25 cm from the same satellite.
