# NRO Selects HawkEye 360 for RF Collection

The National Reconnaissance Office selected HawkEye 360 in August 2026 for its Commercial Radio Frequency Capabilities Augmentation contract, supporting federal interest in commercially supplied radio-frequency collection and geospatial intelligence capabilities. The contract has no stated value ceiling. HawkEye 360 also appointed former CIA Director William Burns to its board as it expands services for defense and intelligence customers.

- Companies with complementary collection, analytics, or data-integration offerings can assess how their capabilities align with defense and intelligence customer needs described in the signal.
- HawkEye 360’s board appointment adds senior national security experience, but the signal does not identify a new solicitation, procurement deadline, or additional award details.
