Array Labs is preparing to launch what it describes as the world's first coordinated fleet of radar satellites to provide high-resolution, continuously updated intelligence worldwide, operating day or night and through clouds. The company has validated core formation-flying and multistatic radar technologies and has secured competitive R&D contracts with DARPA, the U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Air Force. Array is headquartered in Redwood City, Calif., and is backed by investors including Y Combinator, Catapult Ventures, Kompas VC, and Washington Harbour Partners. In July 2026 Array raised an additional $21 million in an oversubscribed strategic round anchored by Mitsubishi Electric, which also entered a partnership with Array to develop maritime and aircraft tracking services for defense and security customers in the Asia-Pacific region. The company positions this strategic capital to advance its technology and commercialization efforts, though specific financial metrics and revenue figures were not disclosed in the announcement.

OpenLight develops a heterogeneous III-V silicon photonics process and a foundry-validated process design kit (PDK) that integrates active and passive components—such as integrated lasers, modulators, amplifiers, and detectors—into custom PASICs. Its PDK is validated at Tower Semiconductor and is used by more than 25 companies to design and fabricate production-grade PASICs across datacom, telecom, AI data centers, sensing, and quantum computing. The company holds over 410 patents related to its PDK and manufacturing of heterogeneously integrated III-V photonics. OpenLight is advancing leading-edge components including 400G modulators and indium phosphide on-chip lasers and amplifiers, and plans to develop standards-based reference PICs at 1.6T and 3.2T. The firm aims to expand its PDK library, worldwide sales, and technical support as it scales; it is headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, with offices in Silicon Valley and has raised $84 million in total funding.

HYFIX is developing a highly integrated system-on-chip that consolidates flight control, high-accuracy positioning, secure wireless communications, and onboard intelligence for drones and robots. The chip is designed for low power use, GPS-degraded or denied environments, and supports open-source ecosystems including ROS 2, ArduPilot, and PX4. It delivers centimeter-level positioning via native integration with the GEODNET Real-Time Kinematic network and emerging LEO satellite systems. HYFIX plans to manufacture its SoC in the United States and deliver production-ready chips to select customers this year. The company is also building a sub-250g reference drone to demonstrate the platform, with shipments planned later in the year. HYFIX emphasizes reshoring critical hard-tech innovation and reducing supply-chain reliance on foreign components.
