NGA is a Department of Defense combat support agency and a member of the National Intelligence Community whose mission is to provide timely, relevant and accurate geospatial intelligence in support of the United States of America's national security.
The NGA InnoVision Directorate Selection Committee reviewed 82 proposals from more than 40 organizations. The winning proposals identified new and unique ideas, concepts and systems to meet geospatial intelligence problems.
Geo-Science Technologies and its collaborator, Leica Geosystems GIS & Mapping, LLC, submitted a proposal entitled "Time Change Representation and Approaches for Updating and Managing Temporal Geospatial-Intelligence Information." The project proposes to incorporate a time-series component extraction engine into ERDAS IMAGINE, which will allow time dependent change analysis to be performed across any data type within the existing NGA framework.
Among the five companies selected, Leica Geosystems GIS & Mapping; Leica Geosystems Defense Solutions is the only one to receive the award two consecutive years. Each organization will receive research and development funds.
