air, and maritime sensing into space, making the company an all-domain sensing provider. The

acquired capability includes high-end EOIR imaging sensors, decades of tradecraft, IP, facilities, and

specialized production processes for mission-critical space sensors. ARKA was expected at close

space portfolio.

Actionable Intelligence Is Becoming The Focus In Space. ARKA adds ground processing and

battlefield intent rather than simply producing imagery.

International Growth Is Moderate And Allied-Focused. International demand is concentrated
