Web Mapping Service to be Hosted

  21/04/2010
GeoEye has signed an addition to a contract with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) to provide web mapping services under the NGA's Rapid Delivery of Online GEOINT (RDOG) programme. GeoEye's dissemination system provides users secure access to unclassified, high-resolution colour imagery of an entire country over the Web. The colour imagery is acquired by the GeoEye-1 Earth-imaging satellite and then disseminated in near real-time to a wide spectrum of users, including forward-deployed US military personnel, intelligence community personnel and DoD map production staff.



The dissemination system is compliant with Open Geospatial Consortium standards for geospatial and location-based information and Web mapping services.


Chris Incardona, GeoEye's director of Government Programs - NGA, commented, "The RDOG program is a natural extension of our core capability in delivering high-quality imagery products. This significant award to host near real-time satellite imagery and serve government users around the globe is a major step forward in providing end-to-end solutions. In the future, users should expect Web services to include sensor-agnostic source capabilities that integrate best-of-class industry standards and applications."


Brian O'Toole, GeoEye's chief technology officer, added, "This program illustrates the evolution in geospatial intelligence: collection, advanced production and dissemination are now offered in an integrated service delivered through a next-generation Web-services platform. We are pleased to have the opportunity to work closely with the NGA to advance the quality of the data products while enabling timely, on-demand access and delivery."
