Satellogic Appoints Former Director of NGA Vice Admiral Frank D. Whitworth III, USN (Ret.) as Strategic Advisor

Former NGA Director to advise on strategic growth and the integration of high-frequency satellite data into global intelligence architectures

NEW YORK, March 25, 2026 -- Satellogic, Inc. (NASDAQ: SATL), a vertically integrated geospatial company delivering high-resolution Earth Observation (EO) at unprecedented scale and economics, today announced that Vice Admiral (VADM) Frank D. Whitworth III, USN (Ret.) has joined the company as a Strategic Advisor.

VADM Whitworth brings decades of leadership across the U.S. defense and intelligence communities. Most recently, he served as the eighth Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) from June 2022 until his retirement in late 2025, where he led the delivery of geospatial intelligence to support national security operations worldwide. Notably, he oversaw the maturation of NGA Maven, the Department of Defense’s primary initiative for operationalizing AI and Machine Learning, transitioning the program from an experimental framework into a critical operational capability that significantly increased the speed and scale of intelligence analysis.

In his role as Strategic Advisor, VADM Whitworth will advise Satellogic on strategic engagement with global customers, the development of the company’s product and technology roadmap, and the integration of high-frequency Earth Observation into modern intelligence architectures.

His appointment comes as Satellogic expands its capabilities in persistent Earth Observation and deepens its engagement with defense and intelligence customers globally.

“Access to timely geospatial intelligence is foundational to national security,” said Emiliano Kargieman, CEO and Co-Founder of Satellogic. “VADM Whitworth has led this mission at the highest level. His experience will help us align our capabilities with evolving defense and intelligence requirements.”

The market is shifting from episodic collection to continuous monitoring across large operational environments. Satellogic’s vertically integrated model is designed to deliver persistent, global coverage and intelligence at scale.

“I know the capabilities of our adversaries, the complexities of assessing global threats, and the resulting imperative for persistent monitoring,” said VDAM Whitworth. “Satellogic’s constellation is designed to address that imperative by combining scale, frequency, and resolution.”

Expanding Geointelligence for Defense Applications

Satellogic is building a system designed to support continuous monitoring across defense and intelligence use cases. These include tracking activity across military installations, monitoring infrastructure and logistics networks, and maintaining situational awareness across large operational environments.

Rather than relying on limited tasking models, Satellogic’s architecture is designed to enable persistent coverage, allowing analysts to move from periodic observation to continuous awareness.

VADM Whitworth’s experience in operationalizing geospatial intelligence across global missions is expected to support the company’s efforts to align with real-world defense requirements.

As governments increasingly incorporate commercial data into intelligence workflows, Satellogic is positioning its constellation and analytics capabilities as a foundational layer.
