What Will the Combination of HawkEye 360 and ISA Offer to Customers?
John Serafini, CEO of HawkEye 360, said Thursday that the acquisition “marks a transformative moment in our long-term vision for HawkEye 360.”
“This investment expands the capabilities we can deliver to our customers, reinforces our role as a defense-tech leader and supports our mission to help make a safer and more secure world,” the executive added.
Following the transaction’s completion, ISA will operate as a subsidiary of HawkEye 360. The companies will integrate ISA’s advanced algorithms, edge and cloud-based processing tools, and engineering expertise to HawkEye 360’s radio frequency platform.
“By combining HawkEye 360’s RF data with ISA’s real-time processing expertise, we are delivering faster access to insights, broader detection across critical signals, and greater automation throughout the workflow,” added Todd Probert, president of U.S. government for HawkEye 360 and a two-time Wash100 recipient. “This creates a more responsive and capable platform that directly supports a wide range of mission priorities.”
The acquisition is supported by HawkEye 360’s recent Series E preferred equity financing round, which was led by NightDragon and Center15 Capital. The company also raised additional secured and mezzanine debt financing from First Citizens Bank, Silicon Valley Bank, Pinegrove Venture Partners and Hercules Capital Inc.
