Kleos Space S.A. is a Luxembourg based space-powered Radio Frequency Reconnaissance company that delivers global intelligence and geolocation data as a service.
[1] Kleos Space uses its clusters of nanosatellites to detect and locate radio frequency transmissions on land and sea to uncover hidden or illegal activity in key areas.
These algorithms uncover data points of human activity on land and sea for government and commercial use and are delivered to Kleos’ customers, which include various analytics and intelligence entities.
[8] As of July 2021, the company reported over 160 prospects in its business pipeline, including defense entities, naval forces, coast guard, border control, and national security agencies from several countries.
[14] Under an agreement with Japan Space Imaging Corporation [ja] (JSI), Kleos’ RF geolocation data will allow Japanese military and civilian services to identify illicit activities in territorial and international waters.
Designed and developed by nanosatellite specialist Innovative Solutions in Space B.V. (ISISPACE) and launched into a 500-600 km Sun Synchronous orbit, the satellites doubled Kleos’ coverage over both poles.
