To update key databases, NGA looks at $1.5B in contracts

By:  

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has awarded contracts worth as much as $1.5 billion for companies for work on a comprehensive content database that would accelerate decision-making for analysts throughout the next decade.

The indefinite-delivery/indefinite quantity contracts, awarded to 14 companies, are the JANUS program, an NGA initiative that provides geography, aeronautical and elevation information. JANUS is an unclassified cloud environment that updates and maintains geospatial databases, which can then be accessed by NGA's data partners including the intelligence community and military.

JANUS includes:

- a geography portion, with contracts worth as much as $920 million,

- an elevation program, worth about $250 million, and

- a program that features aeronautical data, worth about $320 million.,

“Janus, will enable near-real time access to commercially-created and enriched content (including crowd- and community-sourced data) in a cost-effective manner that improves decision-making timelines,” NGA Director Robert Cardillo said at a hearing of the Senate Committee on Intelligence in September 2016.

For the geography program, Altamira Technologies Corporation, Hexagon US Federal, Inc., Centra Technology, Inc., MDA Information Systems, LLC, CACI, Inc. - Federal, Harris Corp., BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration, Inc., Boeing Intelligence & Analytics, Vencore, Inc., and Leidos, Inc. will be eligible for task orders.

Those companies will compete to manage and disseminate geospatial intelligence information. They will also use predictive analytic technology to evaluate NGA databases, correct data and improve data acquisition and creation.

For the elevation program, Raytheon, Hexagon, Continental Mapping Consultants, BAE, Leidos, Boeing and Harris will compete for task orders.

Continental Mapping Consultants, T-Kartor USA, and Lowe Engineers could win task orders related to aeronautical feature data, according to a posting on the Federal Business Opportunities web site.

“Our analytics technology provides NGA with fit-for-purpose data, reduced production costs and cloud-based access to geospatial products and content,” Bill Gattle, president of Harris Space and Intelligence Systems, said in a July 11 press release.

    Le projet d'un hélicoptère de nouvelle génération (NGRC) avance

    A l'occasion d'une réunion des ministres de la Défense à Bruxelles, six pays de l'Otan ont signé un mémorandum d'entente pour travailler conjointement sur les concepts d'un hélicoptère de prochaine génération, destiné entre autres à remplacer des machines telles que l'AW-101. La France, l'Allemagne, la Grèce, l'Italie, les Pays-Bas et le Royaume-Uni se sont engagés à verser 26,7 M€ pour le projet de capacité d'hélicoptère de prochaine génération (NGRC, acronyme de Next Generation Rotorcraft Capability). Ces pays se pencheront sur l'amélioration de l'autonomie et de la vitesse d'un hélicoptère de transport moyen, ses capacités dans un scénario de guerre électronique pour commencer. Les missions envisagées pour cet appareil comprennent le transport, l'évacuation médicale, la recherche et le sauvetage et l'assaut. Le nouvel aéronef devra avoir un rayon d'action de plus de 1 650 km sans ravitaillement, avec une endurance de huit heures et une capacité de charge comprise entre 10 et 17 tonnes. L'objectif, à l'image du programme NH90, qui est jusqu'alors est le dernier programme d'étude et de construction d'un hélicoptère polyvalent ayant réuni plusieurs industriels européens, est de développer une cellule commune pour les variantes terrestres, aériennes et maritimes.

    Huntington Ingalls Industries Awarded $954 Million Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Contract by U.S. GSA FEDSIM

    Newport News, Va., January 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE: HII) announced today that it has been awarded a General Services Administration One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (OASIS) task order to provide Persistent Multi-Role Operations (PMRO) support to the U.S. Air Force-Europe (USAFE) by the Federal Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM). This task order will provide Contractor Owned-Contractor Operated (COCO) manned and unmanned airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) in support of Air Force requirements in the European and African theaters of operation. The task order has a base period of one year with four option years and a potential value of $954 million. “Critical readiness of our defense intelligence enterprise demands unique expertise and advanced technology solutions,” said Garry Schwartz, president of Technical Solutions' Mission Driven Innovative Solutions group. “Over the last several years, HII has continued to expand its ISR support to the U.S. Air Force and other components of the Department of Defense. We are looking forward to continuing to advance the implementation of innovative ISR solutions for USAFE and across the DOD.” The Air Force directs global integrated ISR operations from forward-deployed locations worldwide, including locations throughout the six geographic combatant commands. Air Force ISR operations are conducted in multiple domains and across all phases of operations and environments. The timely integration and delivery of ISR information provides joint, defense, national, and coalition partners with actionable intelligence for the commander and warfighter. The objective of this task is to provide persistent, multi-role and cross-domain ISR capabilities that increase indications and warnings, enhance the U.S. security defense posture, enable the freedom of movement, increase partnership capacity and interoperability, and foster global security and stability throughout the European and African areas of responsibility. This is a continuation and expansion of work currently performed by HII, whose purpose is to deliver timely, accurate and relevant information to operational and strategic decision makers. This effort will provide PMRO for multiple DOD components, including Air Forces in Europe and Africa as well as other strategic and operational partners.
