The National Reconnaissance Office's Commercial Systems Program Office awarded Umbra a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract for radar commercial augmentation: assured, global tasking across Umbra's fleet with fast, low-latency delivery to government users. It follows four years of NRO work in which Umbra delivered more than 100,000 images.

• One-year base period plus two one-year options.
• Contract value not disclosed.
• Umbra recently opened a 20,000 sq ft engineering site in Reston, Virginia.
