Array Labs today announced a $20M Series A financing led by Catapult Ventures, with participation from Washington Harbour Partners, Kompas VC, and other new and existing investors, including Y Combinator, Maiora Capital, Animal Capital, Aera VC, Cultivation Capital, and Clearance Ventures. The round brings Array’s total funding to $35M since going through Y Combinator. The company previously raised a $5M seed in 2022 after completing YC, followed by a $10M round in 2024.
Array has built what it believes is the first radar architecture capable of being mass-manufactured using techniques borrowed from consumer electronics and telecommunications — an approach that has allowed the company to collapse traditional cost structures while dramatically 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 the size of its team, completed the design of its satellite bus, formed two new product lines, and grew commercial bookings to nine digits in contracted revenue. The company has also been selected for roughly half a dozen government awards over the last 24 months, across the U.S. armed services, intelligence community, and key combatant commands.
Business evolution: From “sell you an image” to “sell you a radar”
Array started with an ambitious goal: to launch clusters of small satellites that cooperatively image to create a real-time 3D map of Earth. As it matured its core technology, Array realized that the radar instruments it had built were extremely attractive to customers on their own.
The company formally reoriented to meet that demand, evolving from a vertically integrated remote-sensing data provider into a radar-first platform business. Consequently, Array now operates three business lines:
- Radar payloads: Standalone instruments for satellite bus providers and defense primes seeking very high-power, low-cost radar systems that can be mass-produced and integrated with any satellite bus.
- Sovereign satellite systems: Fully integrated spacecraft and dedicated clusters for customers who want to own and operate their own assets for wide-area, high-resolution ISR, and identification of targets on land, at sea, in the air, or in space.
- Data products: 3D imagery and analytics from Array’s owned and operated satellite constellation, delivered to commercial and civil customers.
Each business line builds on Array’s core breakthrough: a family of radar instruments that deliver up to 100x the power of legacy systems at ~1% of the cost, packaged in form factors compatible with standard small sats, scaled buses, and the larger platforms being designed for super-heavy launch vehicles like Starship and New Glenn.
