Array Labs, a Silicon Valley-based space technology company, announced a $20M Series A financing led by Catapult Ventures, with participation from Washington Harbour Partners, Kompas VC, and several new and existing investors including Y Combinator, Maiora Ventures, SuperOrganism, Gaingels, Hexagon, Animal Capital, Aera VC, Cultivation Capital, and Clearance Ventures. Total funding for Array now reaches $35M following a $5M seed in 2022 and a $10M round in 2024.

Array Labs has developed a radar architecture designed for mass production using consumer electronics and telecommunications techniques, significantly reducing costs while increasing performance. “The radar satellite industry today looks like space launch before SpaceX: dominated by legacy defense contractors building bespoke, expensive systems one at a time,” said Andrew Peterson, cofounder and CEO of Array Labs. “We’ve assembled a team from the most innovative technology companies in Silicon Valley to do something different: build radar that can be produced at scale, at commercial price points, without sacrificing capability.

In 2025, Array Labs doubled its team, completed its satellite bus design, launched two new product lines, and achieved nine-digit commercial bookings. The company has also received multiple U.S. government awards across the armed services, intelligence agencies, and combatant commands.

Array Labs evolved from a vertically integrated remote-sensing provider into a radar-first platform business with three offerings: radar payloads for satellite bus providers and defense primes, sovereign satellite systems for customers operating dedicated clusters for ISR missions, and 3D imagery and analytics from its own satellite constellation for commercial and civil clients. Each offering leverages radar instruments capable of delivering up to 100x the power of legacy systems at ~1% of the cost, compatible with small sats, scaled buses, and larger platforms like Starship and New Glenn.

Over the last two years, Array has been selected for competitive U.S. government programs across the Air Force, Space Force, Navy, Army, SOCOM, and DARPA, advancing high-power antenna architectures, high-bandwidth communications, and 3D reconstruction. Commercial agreements include multi-year contracts with global mining, infrastructure, and AI companies using 3D data for industrial monitoring, infrastructure planning, and autonomous system validation.

Array Labs focuses on integrating consumer electronics, communications technology, and advanced signal processing into radar systems that deliver 100x the power of traditional systems at one-tenth the cost. Advanced AI software converts raw radar data into actionable 3D intelligence. The Series A funding will expand engineering, product, and go-to-market teams, increase production capacity, complete flight qualification, and launch the first formation-flying radar satellite cluster.
