Intermap Technologies (TSX: IMP; OTCQB: ITMSF) (“Intermap” or the
“Company”), a global leader in 3D geospatial products and
intelligence solutions, today announced it won a second phase in
its prime contract with the U.S. Air Force to support its
development of navigation solutions for GPS-denied environments.
This program highlights another example of the U.S. Department of
Defense (DOD) leveraging Intermap’s commercial research and
development.
Intermap is a pioneer and leads the industry in
collecting, building and utilizing global-scale and highly precise,
raw data, sourced from across the electromagnetic spectrum and
extended to gridded or meshed 3D elevation models. Intermap is the
only company with a global archive of precise, multi-frequency,
multi-look SAR that is collected in slant-range and
co-registered in real-time with proprietary, complex
algorithms. The Air Force will leverage this unique capability and
extensive archive, which is the world’s largest, to advance its
next generation of positioning, navigation and timing (PNT)
systems. Further to the announcement on December 20, 2021, under
this prime contract, Intermap will provide relevant data,
operational experience, applied technology, low-latency collection
and processing capabilities, engineering and scientific
support.
Phase two of this prime contract is 5x the
revenue of phase one. Intermap is developing plans now for a future
phase that will be materially larger than phase two and may lead to
graduating these mission-critical capabilities to a program of
record, such as Advanced Battlefield Management Systems (ABMS).
Further to the announcement on September 29, 2022, Intermap is a
team member on ABMS.
“As recent experience deploying Western weapons
platforms in large-scale battlefield environments confirms,
adversary electronic warfare capabilities increasingly interfere
with GPS, challenging dynamic maneuver, communications,
navigation, ISR, missile early warning and tracking superiority,”
said Patrick A. Blott, Intermap Chairman and CEO. “In these
GPS-denied environments, battlefield performance of terrestrial,
airborne and space platforms require precise PNT to
enable multidomain operations. Intermap is working on this
problem by leveraging several technological capabilities under
multiple announced DOD and commercial contracts for GPS-denied
environments, including with the U.S. Air Force, NASA Artemis III,
and an undisclosed commercial satellite communications
company.”
On July 10, 2024, at a change of command
ceremony at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in
Dayton, Ohio, the incoming and outgoing commanders of the Air Force
Research Laboratory (AFRL) spoke about the group’s objectives. “I
believe the mission of AFRL has never been more critical,” said
Brig. Gen. Jason E. Bartolomei, Commander, Air Force Research
Laboratory, Air Force Materiel Command, Wright-Patterson Air Force
Base, Ohio, and the Technology Executive Officer supporting the
U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force. “The future of the fight
depends on our innovations, technical wizardry, and our role to
support and integrate within the air and space domains. Like the
past, our success depends on the brilliant, patriotic, hardworking,
faithful men and women from all ranks and all walks of life banding
together to deliver game-changing technology.”
“AFRL is trying to build that affordable,
competitive, continuous pipeline of technologies that we can then
put into programs of record and field,” said General Duke Z.
Richardson, AFRL’s previous Commander.
