TL;DR / Executive Summary
- LeoLabs has launched Delta, an AI-powered space domain awareness system for US and allied national security, replacing its previous LeoGuard product.
- Delta uses LeoLabs’ radar network and satellite catalogue to monitor threats in low Earth orbit, detect anomalies and deliver actionable alerts to military operators.
- The launch comes as LEO is expected to host over 70,000 satellites by 2030, with growing activity from adversarial nations increasing the need for real-time orbital intelligence.
LeoLabs, the world’s leading mission partner for persistent Orbital Intelligence, announced the launch of LeoLabs Delta, its AI-powered, advanced threat detection and characterization system designed for U.S. and Allied national security missions. Delta replaces LeoLabs’ previous space domain awareness (SDA) solution, LeoGuard, by delivering more comprehensive, actionable intelligence. Built for the next era of space security, this system will enable operators to defend their assets against evolving threats with more confidence, speed, and precision.
Upward of 70,000 operational satellites are projected to be in low Earth orbit (LEO) by 2030, with a growing percentage from adversarial nations. In this environment, U.S. and Allied military space operators face more ambiguity and less time to decide how to react to emerging threats.
Delta enables critical intelligence gathering, real-time threat monitoring and asset protection. This system harnesses LeoLabs’ vertically integrated proliferated radar network and its world-leading commercial object catalog to continuously monitor mission-relevant objects, detect and characterize anomalous events, and analyze patterns of activity. It automatically translates and consolidates orbital data into actionable alerts and critical insights delivered directly to operators.
“Today’s dynamic threats — from advanced proximity operations that mirror ‘dogfighting’ to obscured satellite deployments — require more than passive surveillance,” said LeoLabs Chief Executive Officer Tony Frazier. “With Delta, we’re giving U.S. and Allied operators the ability to not only see what’s happening in orbit, but to also understand what it means and act when it matters most.”
“We’re seeing growing demand from countries across the globe for real-time, operationally relevant space domain awareness, as they launch more sovereign space capabilities in LEO that are critical to their national security,” said LeoLabs Senior Vice President of International Sales Maher Khoury. “Delta delivers the clarity and speed Allied operators need to make confident decisions, defend critical assets, and strengthen collective security.”
Delta headlines the release of LeoLabs’ refreshed product suite that reflects the company’s brand evolution and the expansion of its capabilities — LeoLabs Pulse, the company’s collision avoidance service, and LeoLabs Trace, its launch and early operations (LEOP) service. This renewed lineup now delivers a seamless suite of integrated, mission-driven solutions aligned to customer needs.
LeoLabs continues to advance its mission to provide persistent Orbital Intelligence that meets the needs of defense, civil, and commercial operators and provides a decisive advantage for the U.S. and Allies across warfighting domains.
