Harris has secured three contracts, with a total ceiling value of $1.5bn, to deliver geospatial data services to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) for use by the US military across the globe.

Under the three multi-award indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts, the company will be responsible for providing the services to NGA for up to ten years.

As part of the project, Harris will be committed to develop, manage and distribute high-quality geospatial-intelligence (GEOINT) data that will also be used by the US intelligence community.

Work will be carried out under contracts that cover all three areas of the NGA’s JANUS programme – geography, imagery and elevation.

The programme updates and maintains geospatial databases of the world that can be accessed in near-real-time to address intelligence, operational and crisis needs.

Using its predictive analytics technology, the company will assess the health of NGA databases.
