GeoEye... Mod For NGA Imagery Services...



GeoEye, Inc. (Nasdaq: GEOY) has signed a modification 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) program. This web hosting and dissemination contract modification is in addition to ongoing production work being done under the RDOG contract originally awarded in June 2009 and under GeoEye's Service Level Agreement with the NGA.

GeoEye's dissemination system provides users secure access to unclassified, high-resolution color imagery of an entire country over the web. The color 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 U.S. 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.
