Under this award, Maxar is identifying classes of objects including aircraft, ships, ground vehicles, and railcars. This enables the NGA to determine object counts, classify assets, identify trends and anomalies, and conduct spatial and temporal geospatial intelligence analysis.
The contract highlights the operational use of commercial technologies for large-scale, persistent site monitoring. Maxar’s work in this mission demonstrates how automation can support the rapid collection, analysis, and delivery of actionable geospatial intelligence.
To meet the contract’s requirements, Maxar is partnering with several industry leaders. These include Satellogic Inc. for Earth observation capacity, Enabled Intelligence for model validation and verification, and Striveworks for the artificial intelligence operations (AIOps) platform.
The delivery order demands precise performance under tight time constraints, including rapid multi-constellation imaging and model outputs delivered within hours of acquisition. Automation is central to every phase—ranging from image collection to computer vision analysis and timely data delivery.
“This award reflects the power of combining commercial innovation to support national security mission needs,” said Susanne Hake, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Maxar’s U.S. Government business. “By working together with other industry leaders, we’re enabling a powerful combination of diverse sensor data and advanced analytics to help make smarter, faster decisions.”
