Vantor on Monday said it has received a $70 million award from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) for the first option year of a program that gives the agency and vetted federal and allied users access to a company database of unclassified satellite-based and other sensor imagery.

The award was made under NGA’s Global Enhanced GEOINT Delivery (G-EGD) program that the company, previously called Maxar, has managed for more than a decade. The company in 2024 won the follow-on contract, potentially worth $359 million over five years.

Vantor said it will deliver GEGD Pro, a web-based platform that leverages its artificial intelligence-based software that fuses data from satellites, drones and other sensors and automates the spatial intelligence lifecycle to include collection, production and analysis. GEGD Pro provides commercial and government-furnished GEOINT to more than 1.2 million government users across more than 250 organizations, the company said.

“The platform delivers uninterrupted, trusted access to GEOINT, enabling faster, more informed operational decisions and delivering capabilities that can extend beyond a single agency to other mission partners,” Susanne Hake, executive vice president and general manager for U.S. Government at Vantor, said in a statement.

GEGD Pro features new enhancements that include expanded access to commercial imagery, improved interoperability across mobile, desktop and enterprise environments, modern application program interfaces for programmatic access and mitigating latency vulnerabilities, an enhanced government furnished information integration.
