Maxar simplifies, speeds access to critical
geospatial data for government customers
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 $14.2 million contract to
develop Red Wing, an automated, cloud-based geospatial intelligence
(GEOINT) analysis architecture for the Air Force Research
Laboratory.
While data is the critical fuel for geospatial analysts, the
ever-increasing volume of available information requires increased
levels of automation and more efficient workflows. Maxar’s Red Wing
architecture will enable analysts to focus on addressing some of
the most challenging intelligence problems by automating
time-consuming workflows. Red Wing will also enhance and optimize
the production of actionable insights from raw information through
advanced exploitation and visualization services and edge node
processing. For ease of use, Maxar is designing the architecture to
integrate with legacy systems.
Red Wing also expands the use of Amazon managed services through
careful assessment of emerging offerings with the goals of
improving resiliency, reducing cost and reducing exposure to cyber
threats.
“Maxar’s broad portfolio of imagery and analytics products
simplifies and speeds access to critical information, empowering
customers to be more predictive in their decisions and more
productive in their daily operations,” said Tony Frazier, Maxar’s
Executive Vice President of Global Field Operations. “Red Wing will
help to rapidly equip the warfighter with actionable insights to
solve dynamic and complex intelligence problems at scale.”
The operations of DigitalGlobe, SSL (Space Systems Loral) and
Radiant Solutions were unified under the Maxar brand in February;
MDA continues to operate as an independent business unit within the
Maxar organization.
