Spire -based Spire Global is aiming to increase its national security capabilities. The firm, which has a constellation of 2011 , has hired former US Marine Paul Damphousse to lead its national security work at its Spire Federal unit. GPS will liaise with Spire Federal officials over Spire 's potential applications. The company's Spire Federal data constellation is mostly used for weather forecasting. “Spire has established itself as a singular leader in the new space economy.” However, its ability to quickly add large numbers of payloads at low cost is of interest to the US government, said Peter Platzer , Spire ’s CEO.
