VSP RF A1, part of a commercial radio-frequency sensing satellite cluster testing signal detection and geolocation technology for future operational constellations, contributing to a commercial market segment that competes directly with HawkEye 360's established RF geolocation business. Clusters like this one are increasingly common as more companies enter the commercial radio-frequency sensing market, each betting that geolocation data has genuine commercial value beyond the defense applications HawkEye 360 pioneered.
