  Maxar's Radiant Solutions Awarded $92 Million Small Business Innovation Research Phase III contract by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency

  Expands development of machine learning and crowdsourcing capabilities to augment global GEOINT missions HERNDON, VA, Oct. 18, 2018 /CNW/ - Radiant Solutions, a Maxar Technologies company (NYSE: MAXR) (TSX: MAXR), today announced a $92 million contract award on a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase III contract with the National Geospatial- Intelligence Agency (NGA) to rapidly develop, prototype, and deploy machine learning and crowdsourcing capabilities to augment a wide variety of NGA missions. NGA exercised the 2019 contract option year and expanded the value over a three year period of performance. The SBIR Phase III program incents commercial firms to apply innovative solutions to pressing national security problems. As outlined in NGA's recently updated commercial GEOINT strategy, the agency is employing a variety of contracting methods to leverage commercial automation capabilities to augment conventional analysis, giving analysts more time to focus on more challenging, mission-critical problems. Through SBIR Phase III awards, the U.S. government can fund logical extensions of SBIR Data and receive a royalty-free license to that technology while protecting commercial industry's ability to make these offerings available to the global marketplace. Radiant Solutions participates in the SBIR Phase III program through its ongoing investment in Signature Analyst™, a predictive modeling engine that applies machine learning to massive amounts of geospatial data to help analysts quickly search broad geographic areas. Since 2006, Radiant Solutions and its subsidiary companies have been awarded eight SBIR Phase III contracts across multiple agencies. Radiant Solutions will advance development of machine learning capabilities, such as its DeepCore Computer Vision SDK and crowdsourcing capabilities, such as Tomnod, to help analysts quickly process large volumes of remote sensing data, understand global patterns of life and enable broad area search. The award also expands support for the NSG Open Mapping Enclave (NOME), a volunteered geographic information operational prototype that enables trusted users on multiple domains to easily create or modify foundation GEOINT to create living maps and enable timely analysis. These capabilities will be available for broad use across the U.S. Government and its global mission partners. "We are excited to expand our SBIR Phase III partnership with NGA and apply commercial innovation in machine learning and crowdsourcing to difficult national security problems," said Tony Frazier, President of Radiant Solutions. "We are fully committed to helping the NGA harness the massive potential of Commercial GEOINT to reveal insights where and when it matters to build a better world." Radiant Solutions has made several recent announcements that reveal how the company is applying Machine Learning and Crowdsourcing to Global GEOINT Missions: Maxar Technologies' Radiant Solutions Awarded Janus Geography Prime Contract by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Maxar Technologies' Radiant Solutions Partners with NGA to Accelerate Innovation in Machine Learning Technologies Applied to Satellite Imagery SpaceNet™ Team Earns the 2018 USGIF Industry Achievement Award The company will be showcasing a number of these capabilities at the NVIDIA GTC DC event Oct. 22-24.

  CAE USA a signé un contrat de sous-traitance avec Lockheed Martin afin d'appuyer l'élaboration de dispositifs d'entraînement aux systèmes d'armes

  Tampa (Floride, États-Unis), le 20 november 2017, 2017 - (NYSE : CAE; TSX : CAE) - CAE USA a remporté un contrat de sous-traitance de Lockheed Martin visant à appuyer la conception, l'élaboration et la fabrication de six dispositifs d'entraînement aux systèmes d'armes (WST) pour l'appareil C-130J de la United States Air Force et de la Air National Guard américaine. La commande de ces six dispositifs d'entraînement aux systèmes d'armes pour l'appareil C-130J a été reçue au cours du deuxième trimestre de l'exercice financier 2018 et a été incluse à l'annonce de revenus trimestriels effectuée le 10 novembre 2017. « Nous sommes heureux de poursuivre notre partenariat de longue date avec Lockheed Martin pour la conception et l'élaboration de systèmes de formation relatifs à l'appareil Super Hercules C-130J », a déclaré Ray Duquette, président et directeur général de CAE USA. « Les capacités haute fidélité de ces dispositifs d'entraînement aux systèmes d'armes pour l'appareil C-130J permettent aux Forces aériennes d'intégrer de plus en plus la formation virtuelle à leur programme de formation global, ce qui, en fin de compte, favorise la sécurité, l'efficacité et l'état de préparation aux missions pour les équipages. » Les dispositifs d'entraînement aux systèmes d'armes pour le C-130J sont des simulateurs de mission à système de mouvement complet qui simulent avec exactitude l'appareil et ses diverses missions. Les simulateurs recréent les sons, le mouvement, l'environnement virtuel et tous les autres systèmes requis pour fournir un environnement de formation en vol haute fidélité et réaliste. En 2020 et en 2021, ces six dispositifs d'entraînement aux systèmes d'armes pour l'appareil C-130J seront livrés à diverses bases aériennes. http://www.cae.com/CAE-USA-awarded-subcontract-from-Lockheed-Martin-to-support-development-of-C-130J-weapon-systems-trainers/?LangType=1036
