Geospark Analytics’ cloud-based Hyperion platform provides analysts and operators unprecedented situational awareness and AI-driven risk assessments augmented with its new groundbreaking automated risk reports for every spot on the globe. Hyperion was also a finalist for NATO’s 2020 Innovation Challenge.

“Geospark Analytics is thrilled to extend our current contracts with NATO to a new multi-year agreement for use of Hyperion, as well as our data and AI models,” said Geospark Analytics CEO Amanda Brownfield. “This is the fifth contract we signed with defense and foreign affairs organizations in the last two months, substantiating that these users are no longer satisfied with technology that simply offers breaking news or social media alerts. They need AI-driven technology that offers global scale, machine speed, precision geolocation, augmented analytics—all without analytic bias! Our Hyperion platform makes the extraordinary leap from ‘hey look here to hey look here because we think this will happen.'”

Hyperion is a substantial force multiplier at NATO Headquarters and the Southern Hub.
