Unseenlabs Launches Gen 2 Satellite for Expanded RF Detection Capabilities
Unseenlabs has deployed BRO-31, the first satellite of its Gen 2 constellation, enhancing RF detection across maritime, land, and space domains. This shift from nanosatellites to a microsatellite format allows for broader frequency coverage and independent operation, improving operational efficiency and situational awareness.

Unseenlabs launched BRO-31 on SpaceX's Falcon 9 from Vandenberg Space Force Base, marking the first satellite in its second-generation constellation. This Gen 2 satellite, weighing 150 kg, significantly enhances detection capabilities across L, S, C, X, and Ku bands, expanding RF monitoring from maritime to land and space environments.
The new system operates independently rather than relying on multiple satellites, which improves efficiency in geolocation and characterization of RF activities. This advancement is crucial for addressing rising threats such as GNSS jamming and monitoring complex environments. The deployment addresses increasing demands for commercial data services alongside traditional surveillance methods, particularly in contested maritime areas.
