Unveiling Vessel Activity Near the Strait of Malacca
The Strait of Malacca and its surrounding waters play a pivotal role in global trade, facilitating the transit of nearly 90,000 vessels annually. However, this critical maritime route also faces challenges from high-risk activity, including vessels obscuring their movements. Monitoring this congested and geopolitically sensitive region requires advanced technology to overcome gaps in traditional domain awareness methods.
HawkEye 360 recently analyzed vessel activity near the Strait of Malacca and uncovered ship-to-ship transfer operations between two vessels, Itagua and Shanaye Queen. Using RF data analytics and vessel identification technology, our analysts were able to detect these vessels despite their use of tactics like AIS spoofing to mask their movements.
Key Findings:
HawkEye 360’s RF analytics and satellite imagery provide an innovative solution to maritime security challenges, offering new ways to monitor vessel activity in high-risk areas.
HawkEye 360 Advances Collaboration with Space Force
HawkEye 360 is honored to be advancing toward involvement with the Space Force’s Space (S4S) Commercial Integration Cell (CIC), as highlighted in a recent Breaking Defense article. This opportunity underscores our commitment to supporting USSPACECOM’s mission by enhancing capabilities and fostering collaboration among CIC members. Additionally, we are excited to participate in our first #Spacepower event, hosted by the Space Force Association this December in Orlando, where we will engage with industry and government leaders to discuss the future of space operations and innovation.
HawkEye 360 Highlights Innovation and Partnerships at MAST 2024
HawkEye 360 recently participated in MAST 2024 in Adelaide, Australia, where we showcased our latest advancements in RF technology at Booth #S49. This event provided an excellent opportunity to connect with leaders in maritime and land domain awareness and discuss how our solutions are shaping the future of these critical areas. Our involvement also highlighted HawkEye 360’s important relationships with the Pacific Islands and the Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA), underscoring our commitment to supporting regional security and sustainability efforts in this vital part of the world.

HawkEye 360 Supports Cornerstones Food Drive
The HawkEye 360 team proudly participated in this year’s HawkEye Helpers initiative, supporting the Cornerstones Thanksgiving Food Drive. Team members collected food donations and funds to assemble "Thanksgiving Meal in a Box," providing essentials to families in need, including a $25 gift card for a turkey. A dedicated group of volunteers from HawkEye 360 came together to sort and package the meal boxes, ensuring they were delivered to Cornerstones in time for the holiday. It was a meaningful effort to help brighten the season for our community.
