Capella Space, ICEYE US and Umbra Lab were selected to receive the awards. What Are the Details of the Radar Commercial Augmentation Contracts? The approach draws on lessons learned from NRO’s Electro-Optical Commercial Layer program and other remote sensing initiatives from private companies.The agency’s Commercial Systems Program Office will manage the RCA effort. The RCA awards build on NRO’s three-phase Commercial Radar Capabilities effort, launched in January 2022 to evaluate multiple commercial SAR providers through six months of modeling and simulation and two years of on-orbit and end-to-end mission performance demonstrations. Capella Space, ICEYE US and Umbra Lab’s performance during those assessments made them eligible for the follow-on RCA contracts.
