Maxar Intelligence, a provider of secure, precise geospatial insights, announced that it has been awarded a total of $35 million in new tasking contracts from two government customers in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. Both contracts are built around a Direct Access Program (DAP) offering and include several \u201cfirsts,\u201d including the first purchase of direct access to 30 cm class WorldView Legion imagery and the first use of Maxar\u2019s virtual constellation capability in the APAC region to directly task ultra high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery from Maxar partner Umbra. <\/p>\n
\u201cWith rising geopolitical insecurity around the world, our customers need more advanced geospatial insights that can provide them with near real-time situational awareness over key areas of interest,\u201d said Anders Linder, General Manager, International Government at Maxar.<\/strong> \u201cWith four WorldView Legion satellites on orbit, including two in mid-inclination orbit, we offer the most 30 cm class tasking capacity from dawn to dusk. Combine that with the option to directly task SAR imagery through us, our customers can collect ground truth insights 24\/7, giving them the transparency they need, when they need it.\u201d <\/p>\n Maxar\u2019s DAP offering enables defense, intelligence and commercial customers to integrate ground stations with Maxar\u2019s satellites, giving them dedicated capacity with guaranteed delivery speeds. Customers can task Maxar satellites up to 15 minutes prior to an imaging event and receive data in real time. <\/p>\n Through Maxar\u2019s dedicated access agreement with Umbra, customers are also able to directly task Umbra\u2019s SAR satellites through Maxar\u2019s platforms, part of Maxar\u2019s virtual constellation capability. Umbra\u2019s SAR imagery, which can be collected at 25 cm resolution, enables customers to monitor activity at night and in all weather conditions, serving as a powerful complement to Maxar\u2019s very high resolution electro-optical imagery. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Maxar Intelligence, a provider of secure, precise geospatial insights, announced that it has been awarded a total of $35 million in new tasking contracts from two government customers in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
