Maxar Intelligence has secured a $290 million, 5-year contract with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency to deliver advanced geospatial insights and automated object detections under NGA’s Luno A program.
Under the indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract, Maxar will leverage its computer vision models and 20-year imagery archive, powered by high-resolution electro-optical satellite imagery and precise geolocation, to meet Luno A’s operational needs, the company said.
“Our very-high resolution imagery and massive data library give us a unique edge to meet Luno A’s need for fast, accurate insights,” said Susanne Hake, general manager of U.S. government at Maxar. “As we continue launching more WorldView Legion satellites, we’ll have significantly more 30 cm-class imaging capacity and increased revisits, providing us with an even deeper pool of exquisite data that can fuel more actionable insights in near real-time.”
NGA selected 10 vendors, including Maxar, for the 5-year IDIQ.
Maxar already started work with NGA under the Luno A contract, helping analysts and operators better understand changes on Earth and respond to global developments.
