Maxar Technologies (NYSE:MAXR) (TSX:MAXR), a trusted partner and
innovator in Earth Intelligence and Space Infrastructure, today
announced that it has been awarded a new, four-year contract with
the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) for the
Global Enhanced GEOINT Delivery (Global EGD) program. The contract,
which begins September 1, 2019, is valued at $44 million for the
base year and includes three option years at the same value that
would extend the contract through August 2023.
The new contract will allow Maxar to continue providing more
than a quarter million U.S. Government users with online and
offline, on-demand access to the world’s highest resolution
commercial imagery. Since 2011, the Global EGD program has allowed
warfighters, first responders, intelligence analysts and civil
government users to tap into Maxar’s 100-petabyte historical
imagery library and daily imagery collections for time sensitive,
mission-critical planning and operations.
“The Global EGD program has proven to be an essential capability
for NGA and a broad array of U.S. Government users,” said Dan
Jablonsky, Maxar CEO. “With this contract, Maxar extends its
decades-long standing as a trusted partner to the U.S. Government.
We are proud to continue providing American troops, intelligence
analysts and first responders with the information and insight to
make decisions with confidence.”
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.
