Business Wire
Maxar Technologies (NYSE:MAXR) (TSX:MAXR), a trusted partner and
innovator in Earth Intelligence and Space Infrastructure, today
announced the Defence Geographic Agency (DGeo) of The Netherlands
Ministry of Defence signed a multi-million dollar, multi-year
subscription to SecureWatch, the company’s cloud-based geospatial
intelligence (GEOINT) platform.
DGeo will leverage SecureWatch to enrich its geospatial
foundation data holdings and derivative product portfolio that aid
critical decision-making within The Netherlands Ministry of Defence
(MoD). Through SecureWatch, DGeo will have access to Maxar’s
110-petabyte, high-resolution satellite imagery library, daily
imagery collections, Vivid and Metro imagery mosaics, FirstLook
service and synthetic aperture radar data from MDA’s RADARSAT-2
satellite. When the WorldView Legion constellation imagery is
available after the first satellites launch in early 2021, DGeo
will also access it via SecureWatch. The abundance and variety of
geospatial data available in SecureWatch will inform and support
the MoD’s information-driven activities such as mission planning,
disaster response and border security, among other purposes.
“Maxar is delighted to bring DGeo and the Dutch MoD ecosystem
into SecureWatch’s ever-growing community of subscribers,” said
Tony Frazier, Maxar’s Executive Vice President of Global Field
Operations. “As one of the largest SecureWatch awards to date, this
contract is the culmination of a careful consultation process with
DGeo, ensuring that Maxar’s solution has the greatest impact on
their work. SecureWatch, with its mission-centric design and depth
of content, fits DGeo’s requirements perfectly.”
“SecureWatch will facilitate DGeo’s ability to bring geospatial
insights to a broader community within the Dutch MoD,” said
Lieutenant Colonel Rijk van Hunnik, DGeo’s Commanding Officer.
“Secure, on-demand and easy access to very high-resolution imagery
promises to be a game-changer for our decision-making process and
operations, allowing us to allocate resources in the most effective
way possible.”
