NUVIEW has secured an additional $5 million award from the Department of Defense's National Security Innovation Capital program to accelerate development of its space-based LiDAR technology. The funding follows earlier NSIC investment and supports the company's mission to deliver high-resolution, three-dimensional mapping of Earth from orbit.
The award will allow NUVIEW to rapidly prototype its next-generation LiDAR payload, advancing toward the first operational commercial system. This hardware forms the basis of a planned satellite constellation designed to provide continuous, high-precision 3D data for defense, civil, and commercial users worldwide.
U.S. defense agencies have emphasized the growing importance of commercial sensing tools, with LiDAR recognized as a key capability for i
