HawkEye 360 geolocates interference transmitter affecting NOAA GOES data collection
56 FOMOHawkEye identified the location of an environmental data transmitter that had occupied a valuable GOES Data Collection System uplink position for several years. The interference affected spectrum used by hundreds of organisations across dozens of countries for environmental and hazard monitoring. The identification helped restore availability of the valuable communications resource.
Why it matters
The case demonstrates that RF intelligence has civil and commercial applications beyond defence surveillance. It also provides a strong proof point for spectrum-monitoring and interference-resolution services.
The numbers
The transmitter was occupying a valuable GOES uplink position used by more than 600 organizations in 42 countries.

HawkEye 360 Pinpoints Hard to Locate Transmitter, Restoring Spectrum Availability for NOAA’s GOES Weather SystemHawkEye 360 successfully geolocated an environmental data transmitter that had been operating for several years on NOAA's GOES Data Collection System. The transmitter occupied a valuable uplink position used by more than 600 organisations across 42 countries for environmental and hazard monitoring. The work demonstrated the use of commercial RF geolocation to resolve harmful interference affecting civil weather-data infrastructure.
