Maxar Technologies (NYSE:MAXR) (TSX:MAXR), a trusted partner and
innovator in Earth Intelligence and Space Infrastructure, today
announced it was awarded a U.S. Army contract worth as much as
$48.3 million for support services in geospatial intelligence
(GEOINT).
The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command C5ISR
Center, Intelligence & Information Warfare Directorate awarded
Maxar the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase III
contract in support of Army operations and intelligence to include
Combatant Commands and other government stakeholders. Support
services will include gathering, analyzing and manipulating GEOINT
and other intelligence sources as the basis for predictive analysis
tools and algorithms, including Maxar’s Signature Analyst, a
predictive analytics tool developed under a SBIR Phase I and Phase
II program.
The utility and scalability of Signature Analyst predictive
models rely on the quality and quantity of geospatial content. In
addition to predictive models, this effort will enhance predictive
geospatial modeling with innovative and scalable methods for
geospatial data creation, assimilation and conflation, as well as
further the incorporation of additional data sources and
dissemination and management tools.
“Maxar is proud to support the U.S. Army customer and Combatant
Commands in their critical national security missions,” said Tony
Frazier, Maxar’s Executive Vice President of Global Field
Operations. “Predictive geospatial modeling is an essential
component of military modernization and Joint All-Domain Command
and Control efforts. We look forward to advancing Maxar technology
and proven intelligence assets such as Signature Analyst through
this continued research effort.”
The Phase III contract includes two base and three option years.
Work under the initial contract will be performed through March 4,
2023.
