Intelligence Products
Finished intelligence on foreign space programs, capabilities, and activity.
Direwolf produces assessments, profiles, briefings, and monitoring for organizations that need to understand the space domain without standing up an intelligence organization of their own.
Why a product, not a feed
Your question does not fit a data subscription.
Data services deliver objects, orbits, and events. They do not answer the questions a decision-maker actually has.
- What is this program capable of?
- Why did this spacecraft do that?
- What should we be watching?
Those answers require research, context, and a written judgment. That is what Direwolf produces.
What we do
We help organizations understand the rapidly evolving space domain through foreign space capability assessments, space threat intelligence, orbital and spacecraft activity analysis, RF and PNT threat analysis, and customized intelligence support. Direwolf Space Systems company description
Catalog: one-time deliverables
Assessments and profiles
Finished, written intelligence on a defined subject. Each product is researched and assessed by Direwolf and delivered in a form a decision-maker can act on.
Foreign Space Capability Assessments
A structured assessment of a country's space and military-space capabilities: what exists, what is operational, and where the program is likely heading.
Space Threat Assessments
Assessment of the threats a specific mission, system, or organization faces in the space domain, across counterspace, RF, PNT, and cyber.
Foreign spacecraft and program profiles
Reference profiles of individual foreign spacecraft and programs: operator, associated military program, launch history, behavior, and related systems.
Military space developments
Analysis of foreign military-space programs, organizations, and activity as they develop.
Specialized assessments
Threat, technology, and interference.
Three further one-time products cover counterspace systems, emerging technologies, and interference with positioning, navigation, and timing. Each is scoped to the requirement and delivered as a written assessment.
-
Counterspace assessments Assessment of the systems and capabilities designed to deny, degrade, or destroy space systems, and the programs behind them.
-
Emerging technology assessments Assessment of new space and counterspace technologies and the programs pursuing them.
-
RF/PNT interference analysis Analysis of GPS/GNSS jamming and spoofing, RF interference, and related threats to positioning, navigation, and timing.
Catalog: single questions
On demand
For questions that do not fit a standing product, Direwolf answers the question as asked, scoped to the requirement and delivered in the format the requester needs.
Custom intelligence RFIs
A specific request for information, researched and answered as a stand-alone product.
Intelligence-on-demand
Support for a customer's own analytic work when a question arises that needs an outside answer.
Executive Space Threat Briefings
Briefings prepared for leadership: the threat picture, what has changed, and what it means for the organization.
The Space Threat Intelligence Report
You cannot staff an intelligence cell. You can retain one.
For organizations that need continuous awareness rather than a single answer, Direwolf offers recurring reporting and monitoring. The Space Threat Intelligence Report is delivered weekly or monthly and covers the developments customers consistently care about.
Recurring products turn a single assessment into standing awareness. They are the basis of Direwolf's role as an outsourced space intelligence cell.
Report coverage
- Foreign military-space developments
- Launches
- Significant satellite activity
- Counterspace developments
- RF and GPS interference
- Cyber developments
- New technologies and programs the customer cares about
Weekly intelligence reporting
The Space Threat Intelligence Report on a weekly cadence, covering the developments customers consistently care about.
Monthly strategic intelligence products
A longer-horizon product on trends, programs, and developments that matter over months rather than days.
Catalog: customer-specific coverage
Monitoring and watchlists built around your requirements.
Direwolf is positioned as an outsourced space intelligence cell for organizations that cannot justify maintaining an internal intelligence organization. Customers at this level provide their own Priority Intelligence Requirements and watch requirements, and Direwolf reports against them.
Customer-specific monitoring
Standing coverage built around a customer's own Priority Intelligence Requirements and watch requirements.
Satellite and spacecraft watchlists
A defined list of objects that Direwolf tracks and reports on, with the intelligence context a raw tracking feed does not provide.
In development
Flagship: the Foreign Space Capability Assessment
The Foreign Space Capability Assessment is Direwolf's flagship product. The first, an Iran Foreign Space Capability Assessment, is in development and will become the master template for future assessments.
The assessment is built to answer the question a decision-maker actually asks.
What are Iran's current military-space capabilities, what systems are operational, and where is the program likely heading? Example customer question
No findings are published on this site. The finished assessment will be available through a paid engagement, and its status will be posted on the Insights page.
Status
Where the flagship stands
- Iran Foreign Space Capability Assessment In development. No findings are published on this site.
- Master template The finished assessment becomes the template for future Foreign Space Capability Assessments.
- Availability Through a paid engagement. Status updates will be posted on the Insights page.
Process
How an engagement works
The process is deliberately simple. The requirement defines the product, and the product is written for the decision it supports.
-
Inquiry
Send the question or requirement to contact@direwolfspace.com. A general description is enough to start.
-
Scope and handling
Direwolf confirms the question, the depth required, the delivery format, and the handling level. Early work is conducted in unclassified and appropriately protected environments, including CUI environments when required.
-
Research and assessment
Direwolf researches the requirement and assesses it, drawing on orbital and technical data, open sources, and analyst judgment.
-
Delivery
A written product, a briefing, or both, in the form agreed at scoping.
-
Follow-on
Additional RFIs, an executive briefing, or standing monitoring against the requirements the engagement surfaced.
What to expect
Handling and classification
Direwolf is designed around unclassified and appropriately protected information, including CUI environments when required. The company does not hold a facility clearance and does not accept classified work today. Supporting classified work is a future milestone that requires sponsorship for a Facility Clearance.
Do not send classified information through any channel on this site.
The model
Public and paid
Some of Direwolf's intelligence will be published publicly so that the quality of the analysis can be judged directly rather than taken on faith. Deeper analysis, tailored intelligence, and monitoring are delivered through paid engagements. Public pieces will appear on the Insights page as they are released.
