The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency awarded Maxar Intelligence a contract to provide space imagery of the Indo-Pacific region. The Westminster, Colorado-based company said in a Jan. 4 statement it will provide “highly accurate and detailed 3D models” to the agency, which analyzes Earth imagery in support of military intelligence and humanitarian missions. Maxar will deliver the imagery through its Precision3D Data Suite, which uses photogrammetry techniques to maps and model regions of Earth in multiple dimensions. The bundle will cover 160,000 square kilometers within U.S. Indo-Pacific Command’s area of responsibility. Maxar declined to provide details on the value of the contract. The work will support NGA’s Office of Geomatics, which is focused on maintaining accurate geospatial intelligence for the military and civilian agencies. Maxar Intelligence is proud to have secured this award to provide the NGA with commercial 3D data, which speaks to the NGA’s strong partnership with industry and the growing business case for utilizing unclassified, high-quality commercial geospatial data to support national security needs. Maxar was acquired by private equity firm Advent International last May in a $6.4 billion deal. Following the acquisition, the company reorganized into two business units: Maxar Intelligence and Maxar Space Infrastructure.
