Business Wire
Maxar Technologies (NYSE:MAXR) (TSX:MAXR), a trusted partner and
innovator in Earth Intelligence and Space Infrastructure, today
announced that it was selected by the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) to develop an analytics system for characterizing
and tracking the behavior of vehicles in multiple domains at scale
and in near-real-time. The contract was awarded and is administered
through the U.S. Department of the Interior and is valued at $23
million with a five-year period of performance.
With thousands of vehicles moving in and around the U.S. on a
daily basis, geospatial operators are challenged with sifting
through massive amounts of data to characterize behavior and make
important decisions. Maxar’s analytics system will augment operator
decision-making by delivering data insights and automating
time-consuming tasks, enabling operators to spend more time on
mission-critical work.
“As a leader in Earth Intelligence, Maxar applies the power of
machine learning for a range of applications in space and on the
ground, enabling game-changing results,” said Tony Frazier, Maxar’s
Executive Vice President of Global Field Operations. “Maxar is
honored to continue demonstrating the art of the possible by
applying AI/ML techniques to multi-source, multi-domain data to
satisfy unique DHS mission needs.”
A key component of Maxar’s solution is the use of advanced cloud
development technologies and methodologies, which will enable DHS
to secure and rapidly scale the analytics system to support many
geospatial operators and seamlessly connect with a variety of
applications.
The company is building a community of creative problem-solvers
who want to apply breakthrough technologies, collaborate across
disciplines and partner with visionaries for the good of humanity.
