Business Wire
Maxar Technologies (NYSE:MAXR) (TSX:MAXR) today announced that
it has been awarded a study contract with the National
Reconnaissance Office (NRO) that will enable the U.S. Government to
gain a greater understanding of Maxar’s current and future
commercial imagery capabilities. The one-year contract will support
the NRO’s efforts to further research and assess the U.S.
commercial electro-optical (EO) imagery industrial base’s ability
to task, collect, process and deliver satellite imagery.
As previously announced, Maxar signed a three-year extension of
its existing EnhancedView Service Level Agreement (SLA) with the
NRO in November 2018, reinforcing the U.S. Government's continuing
demand for commercial imagery and confidence in Maxar’s current and
future capabilities.
"This new study contract with the NRO, coupled with our recent
EnhancedView Follow-On agreement, demonstrates that the U.S.
Government recognizes the value of procuring commercial satellite
imagery both now and into the future,” said Dan Jablonsky, Maxar
CEO. "For nearly 20 years, Maxar has been a trusted partner of the
U.S. Government, delivering commercial capabilities with superior
quality, cost and reliability. We are proud to support the U.S.
Government mission and look forward to continuing to work with the
NRO as they increasingly adopt commercial imagery."
The operations of DigitalGlobe, SSL and Radiant Solutions were
unified under the Maxar brand in February; MDA continues to operate
as an independent business unit within the Maxar organization.
