## AIR DEFENSE MONITORING

Detect, Characterize, and Track Air Defense Radars to Map Threat Systems and Enable Early Warning

## CHALLENGE

Defense and intelligence organizations are tasked with maintaining situational awareness to support military planners and decision makers. This often means monitoring adversarial activities across vast land borders and over contested or politically sensitive regions, including the deployment of integrated air defense systems (IADS). Countries monitoring these areas with airborne ISR assets are often limited, constrained by cost, range, and overflight restrictions, creating gaps in radar detection and threat assessment.

Modern IADS are increasingly layered, decentralized, networked, and automated. Many components are mobile, operate across diverse frequency bands, and offer extended engagement ranges, complicating efforts to counter them. To keep pace, defense agencies need ways to supplement traditional sources with tools that can rapidly detect, characterize, and track radar activity without overburdening personnel or infrastructure.

## BENEFITS

### ACCELERATED THREAT UNDERSTANDING:
- Automatically detects, classifies, and geolocates radar activity, streamlining workflows and reducing time to insight.
- Monitors contested, denied, or politically restricted airspace without aircraft or ground assets.
- Identifies both fixed and mobile radar deployments with high fidelity to support early warning and threat anticipation.

### IMPROVED ISR EFFICIENCY:
- Delivers geolocated detections that optimize ISR collection and focus resources where needed most.
- Easily integrates with existing ISR architectures and decision-making workflows.

### RAPID CAPABILITY DEPLOYMENT:
- Activate space-based surveillance capabilities instantly for quick operational integration.

### NO INFRASTRUCTURE BURDEN:
- Maintain data control and mission autonomy while relying on a secure, fully managed platform.

## PRODUCT SUITE OVERVIEW

HawkEye 360’s Air Defense Monitoring product suite delivers a continuous stream of air defense radar detections, transforming how operators visualize, interpret, and respond to dynamic threat environments. Using space-based RF sensing and advanced signal processing of I/Q data, the suite performs wide-area scanning, emitter geolocation, and signal characterization to attribute detections to specific air defense systems.

By combining space-based RF sensing with automated signal characterization, the product augments forward assets and reduces time-consuming manual analysis. It empowers mission planners and analysts with timely, high-confidence insight into radar deployments across strategic regions, whether fixed or mobile.

## CAPABILITIES

### AUTOMATED RADAR CHARACTERIZATION
- Automates detection and analysis of radar signals to accelerate threat understanding, reduce analyst workload, and support Electronic Order of Battle (EOB) development.

### RADAR PATTERN-OF-LIFE ANALYSIS
- Reveals patterns of radar activation, movement, and escalation through recurring revisit and time-lapse visibility across key regions.

With automated detection, routine coverage, and precise geolocation of air defense systems, HawkEye 360 equips decision-makers with the intelligence needed to stay ahead of evolving threats. By delivering the “what, where, and when” of radar activity, HawkEye’s Air Defense Monitoring product suite uncovers hotspots of activity, maximizes ISR efficiency, and ensures reliable visibility into adversary movements across denied and contested regions, day or night, in any weather.
