Growing demand for next-generation radars is driving expanded U.S. manufacturing and hiring

MENLO PARK, Calif., Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LeoLabs, Inc. (LeoLabs), the leading provider of persistent Orbital Intelligence, today announced more than $100 million in bookings across U.S. and Allied customers, doubling its bookings growth year over year. This growth builds on the company’s proven intelligence business, reflecting accelerating demand for the company’s next-generation radars in support of space superiority and missile defense.

LeoLabs is scaling production to turn surging demand into fielded capability. The company is expanding its capacity to build and field multiple radars concurrently, with LeoLabs Seeker and LeoLabs Scout systems already moving through its U.S. manufacturing line for delivery in 2027.

The company’s production ramp leverages its established U.S. supply chain of contract manufacturers and component suppliers to expand its production footprint and increase output while maintaining rapid delivery timelines as volume grows. It is also accelerating hiring for highly technical roles across radar and software engineering, manufacturing, systems integration and operations, with plans to nearly double its employee base by the end of 2026.

“Our customers need more sensors in more locations — and they need them faster,” said Tony Frazier, Chief Executive Officer of LeoLabs. “We are building the radar production capacity, supplier partnerships and specialized workforce to meet that need. With LeoLabs Scout and Seeker systems already in production, we are turning bookings momentum into rapidly fielded capabilities for our U.S. and Allied defense customers.”

By scaling production, LeoLabs will support both the growth of its company-owned and operated radar network and the delivery of sovereign systems to government customers. The additional capacity will enable the company to field more radars on shorter timelines and across more locations in support of a growing range of defense missions.
