Horizon Technologies’ Additional £100,000 Innovate UK Grant for AMBER™ CubeSat-based Intelligence Data Service

July 1, 2020

Horizon Technologies has received an additional £100,000 Grant to help fund its AMBER™ CubeSat-based Intelligence Data Service. Horizon Technologies CEO John Beckner stated, “We are thrilled and grateful to receive this additional Innovate UK Grant as it gives us a further stamp of approval from the UK Government for our AMBER™ program.”

“As European business travel is coming back, the Horizon Technologies team is back again conducting face-to-face meetings with commercial and government end-users. As AMBER™ is a Public/Private partnership with the UK Government, we are most grateful for the continuing support from the UK Government; DIT and DSO in particular.” Beckner noted, “Despite the worldwide disruptions due to COVID-19, our legacy FlyingFish™ business is increasing, and our list of AMBER™ end-users continues to grow—2020 will be our most successful year yet.”

“The Innovate UK Grant is a Continuance Grant which will be put to good use in making sure our AMBER™ Processing Centre (APC) will be up and running in the near future.” Beckner notes, “The APC needs to be fully tested and operational in order be able to provide terrestrial AMBER™ data for integration testing for our AMBER™ end-users in addressing their Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) requirements. Using Horizon Technologies’ unique IP, the APC processes AIS, Sat Phone, Maritime Radar, and GNSS Spoofer signals sent to it from the AMBER™ payload.”
