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.
