ASX-listed radio frequency geolocation data provider Kleos Space has received an evaluation contract from US-based data aggregator Advanced Ground Information Systems, Inc. (AGIS).
AGIS simultaneously processes up to 200,000 real-time sensor reports to provide command and control communication capabilities to US military, government and first responders. Its Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) system enables data interoperability between U.S. and NATO C5ISR systems to provide a common operational picture.
Under the contract, AGIS will integrate Kleos’ Guardian electronic intelligence (ELINT) data into its C5ISR system, complementing other intelligence data sources to provide hostile and illegal shipping awareness to its customers with the ability to direct forces.
Kleos’ Guardian Locate product delivers processed radio frequency transmissions over key areas of interest irrespective of the presence of positioning systems. Its data enhances the detection of illegal activity, including piracy, drug and people smuggling, border security challenges and illegal fishing.
Kleos’ Chief Revenue Officer, Eric von Eckartsberg, said, “AGIS has a long history of providing critical data to those in the field. We’re excited for our geolocation sensor data to be integrated into their command-and-control systems, which will help bringing Kleos’ products to a wide array of government customers around the world. Kleos’ data complements existing datasets and can be used to validate or tip and cue other sources to improve intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities.”
AGIS’ CEO, Cap Beyer, said “We are looking forward to working with Kleos, and providing users the ability to integrate Kleos’ intelligence information with a mature multinational C5ISR system and other intelligence sources.”
Kleos currently has eight satellites in orbit with launches for its Patrol and Observer Missions scheduled for April and June 2022 respectively.
