HawkEye 360
HawkEye 360 is a Herndon, Virginia-based radio frequency (RF) data analytics and geospatial intelligence company that operates the first commercial satellite constellation purpose-built to identify, process, and geolocate a broad range of RF signals from space. Founded in 2015 by Chris DeMay, Charles Clancy, and Bob McGwier, the company flies clusters of three small satellites in formation that use time- and frequency-difference-of-arrival triangulation to pinpoint emitters across VHF through Ku-band. As of 2025, HawkEye 360 has placed 36 Hawk satellites on orbit across 12 operational clusters. Its core products include RFGeo (the underlying RF signal mapping and geolocation data product), RFIQ (its RF intelligence data product recently selected by NASA Commercial LEO programs), and Mission Space, a web-based RF geospatial intelligence analysis platform. The company also offers a Regional Awareness Subscription (RAS) service providing persistent monitoring of high-interest regions such as the Mediterranean, South China Sea, and the Korean Peninsula. In December 2023 HawkEye 360 acquired Maxar Intelligence's RF Solutions business (formerly Aurora Insight), expanding its spectrum-mapping capabilities. Customers are concentrated in defense, intelligence, national security, and maritime domain awareness — including the US Government, allied partners, and foreign military sales (a 2025 FMS to India was approved by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency). HawkEye 360 has filed an S-1 with the SEC for a proposed IPO. There is no public, self-service developer API, SDK, or open-source release; data access is delivered through gated commercial and government contracts via the Mission Space platform and a customer-facing API for ordering and integration of RF analytics into customer systems.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles HawkEye 360 the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — HawkEye 360 scores 6.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile HawkEye 360
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for HawkEye 360. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
