Army Awards Maxar Intelligence One World Terrain Prototype Contract

Maxar Intelligence has secured a contract from the U.S. Army to continue providing 3D global terrain capability and associated information services.

Susanne Hake, general manager for U.S. government at Maxar Intelligence and a 4×24 member, said that with the company’s Precision3D product, the service branch can receive accurate 3D representations of the Earth, helping provide the needed modeling, simulation and training solutions.

Under Phase 4 of the One World Terrain prototype Other Transaction Agreement contract, the two organizations will continue the development of an enhanced 3D terrain representation for the Synthetic Training Environment simulation and training management tool, Maxar said.

The contract is not the first time the two organizations have worked together. They previously collaborated on improving terrain data attribution and conflation using open-source geospatial data and enhancing 3D terrain dataset fidelity.

Maxar has been providing geospatial intelligence services to a wide range of government agencies and components. In January, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency tapped the company to provide the Precision3D Data Suite, allowing it access to needed unclassified commercial geospatial data to protect national security.
