Umbra Selected for NRO's Strategic Commercial Enhancements Stage III, Strengthening U.S. SAR Capabilities

"Advancing to Stage III marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of Umbra's SAR capabilities," said Omar Wheatley, Director, Strategic Programs. "We're excited to deepen our collaboration with the NRO and continue delivering our industry-leading high-quality SAR data that strengthens the nation's intelligence and defense capabilities."

Umbra's SAR satellites collect up to five times more data than other providers, offering unprecedented value through both quantity and affordability. "As a fully American company, we're proud to maximize taxpayer value by delivering the most data and the best data to the NRO at the lowest cost," said David Langan, CEO of Umbra.

Umbra has a long-standing relationship with the NRO, having previously been selected for the Stage II option of its Commercial Radar Capabilities contract in late 2022, and a second Stage II option under the Commercial RF Capabilities focus area in early 2024.

Earlier this month, the 2024 Commercial Remote Sensing Global Rankings named Umbra first in SAR data quality worldwide and second in SAR persistence. Since its establishment in 2015, Umbra has emerged as a leader in remote sensing, offering breakthrough SAR imaging technology and patented satellite solutions that provide all-weather, day-and-night monitoring. Umbra continues to set new standards in reliability, precision, and intelligence gathering, helping government and commercial customers alike achieve mission success.
