Big things are happening at Array Labs. Behind the scenes, we've been growing our bench of strategic partners to accelerate development of the satellites, sensors, and software needed to deliver the world's first real-time, high-fidelity 3D map of Earth. Today, we're particularly proud to announce a new partner: IQT (In-Q-Tel). We have received a strategic investment from IQT, which identifies innovative technologies to support the U.S. national security community and America’s allies. We're excited to partner with IQT, and to welcome managing partner Tom Gillespie as a board observer. This announcement complements several other partnerships and strategic relationships with industry leaders across defense, ag, heavy industry, and geospatial (which you can read more about in the press release, linked in the comments). Onward and upwards!

Jason Carman just released a fantastic Documentary on Youtube about the early days of companies like SpaceX, Planet, Astranis Space Technologies, Rocket Lab, Northwood and Varda Space Industries, Array Labs and other #dualuse and #defencefirst investments (several backed by IQT (In-Q-Tel)). Steve Jurvetson, John Gedmark and others join Jason to highlight the role VC's played in helping to build this whole new industry and contributing to advancing space exploration and technology. Jason also dives into the opportunities and threats from China, Russia and other adversaries in this new Space Race. While 90 minutes - it is well worth the watch. Well done Jason for your debut film!

Array Labs is building a radar satellite network that will show the world in full 3D, day or night. No one else has done it. Military, intelligence, insurance, and climate monitoring all depend on better data. They are making it happen. Array Labs is backing Austin4America, bringing the right people together to push harder and build faster. March 6 & 7 in Austin, Texas.

We're excited to welcome Jisu Ryu as the newest addition to our team. As Senior Staff Engineer, Jisu will advance the development of algorithms that will transform radar signals into 3D models of Earth's surface. Before joining Array, at Lunasonde, Jisu led the development of novel algorithms to peer beneath the Earth's surface. Prior to that, Jisu advanced Capella's satellite imaging capabilities by developing new bistatic formation algorithms, designing a highly efficient processing pipeline, and implementing autofocus into the production system. Throughout his career, Jisu has continuously sought to push the boundaries of what's possible in AI, SAR, and more. His expertise spans an impressive range, from inverse SAR and multi-dimensional autofocus to interferometry and point cloud generation. He received a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of Colorado Boulder in 2018 for his work on femtosecond and multi-dimensional spectroscopy to image photochemical dynamics of novel solar nano-materials. Welcome aboard, Jisu!

Thrilled to publicly announce this strategic partnership, which has been a year in the making. When we started talking with the teams at Raytheon and Umbra, we set out to transform satellite radar data into something entirely new. We're excited to finally share more about what we've been working on. Consider this a sneak peek of Site3D, and a first glimpse of what's to come. Stay tuned!

Proud to partner with Raytheon and Umbra to accelerate the future of 3D Earth observation. Today, we are announcing the flagship product of this collaboration: Site3D, an on-demand 3D imaging product that transforms satellite radar data into three-dimensional digital models of high-value landscapes and facilities around Earth. Site3D, which is slated for wider release in the coming months, delivers: - Customizable tasking - Support for regular revisits - All-weather 3D imaging capabilities - 3D point clouds, digital surface models (DSMs), and more Site3D will eventually support features like automated volumetric estimation and change detection. Ultimately, this represents Array's commitment to solving real-world problems for customers today while we build towards the end state of a real-time, high-fidelity 3D map of Earth. Learn more below, and stay tuned for more from the Array Labs team soon! https://lnkd.in/g6DsSuR9

Today, we have some VERY exciting news to share - Justin Kroll is joining Array Labs as our new Chief Business Officer! After making an incredible impact as a strategic advisor over the last three months, Justin is is making the jump and coming aboard full-time to lead commercial and GTM efforts. The timing couldn't be better, as 2025 is already shaping up to be a pivotal year for Array Labs. We're gearing up for the launch of our first production imaging systems, and on an even nearer horizon, the rollout of our commercial services. For those who don't know Justin (where have you been?!) - he previously held leadership roles at Maxar and Google. Among his many accomplishments, Justin led the acquisition and integration of global satellite imagery for Google Maps, building the capabilities and partnerships that revolutionized how billions of people and millions of businesses interact with geospatial data worldwide. Justin has been one of the biggest buyers (and sellers) of Earth observation data...on Earth. We couldn't be more excited to have his strategic vision and deep industry expertise as we prepare for our next chapter of growth, and to map the world in 3D. We'll be seeing you in the office a whole lot more, Justin - welcome aboard!
