BlackSky Technology Inc. (NYSE: BKSY) has signed a multi-year contract with geospatial intelligence fusion specialist EMDYN (Emerging Dynamics) to provide satellite imagery services for defense clients around the world. This agreement enables international defense agencies to implement automated tip-and-cue tasking through APIs and combine signals intelligence with other data sources to support real-time missions.

"BlackSky and EMDYN's combined services will bring space and terrestrial data together for on-demand insights at scale, while a mission is ongoing," said Brian E. O'Toole, BlackSky CEO. "These unique AI-driven services will reduce end-to-end latency across the entire tasking-to-dissemination process."

"EMDYN Platform was fully developed in-house to meet the growing intelligence challenges in an increasingly unstable world," said Tim Van Renterghem, EMDYN founder and CEO. "Integrating BlackSky satellite imagery into EMDYN Platform adds a powerful real-time dimension that empowers analysts to derive accurate, actionable intelligence much faster."

Through a combination of purposeful constellation design and extensive AI-driven automation, BlackSky delivers near-hourly satellite revisit rates. Its BlackSky Spectra tasking and analytics platform provides time-sensitive imagery and analytical products up to 15 times per day, from morning through evening. These offerings grant decision-makers at all levels - whether in headquarters or on the front lines - immediate access to critical data.
