Maxar Technologies (NYSE:MAXR) (TSX:MAXR), a trusted partner and
innovator in Earth Intelligence and Space Infrastructure, today
announced it has been awarded an Option Year 2 contract renewal by
the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) for the
Global Enhanced GEOINT Delivery (G-EGD) program. The contract,
which began September 1, 2021, is valued at $44 million. This is
the second of three option years for the contract, which has a
total value of up to $176M.
With this award, Maxar will continue to provide more than
400,000 U.S. government users with unclassified, online and
offline, on-demand access to high-resolution commercial imagery
from Maxar in addition to geospatial data from other industry
providers. Since 2011, the G-EGD program has enabled warfighters,
first responders, intelligence analysts and civil government users
to tap into Maxar’s 125-petabyte historical imagery library and
daily imagery collections for time-sensitive, mission-critical
planning and operations.
“The G-EGD platform provides U.S. and allied users with access
to geospatial intelligence from a variety of industry providers at
locations around the globe,” said Dan Jablonsky, Maxar CEO. “This
‘one-stop shop’ for commercial imagery access across federal
agencies and military branches is an essential element for many
national security and humanitarian missions. Maxar is proud to
continue supporting warfighters and analysts with the information
and insight to make confident decisions.”
