Boeing Co. received a $3.5 million follow-on task order from the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) to enhance radar imagery data collected during the February 2000 Shuttle Radar Topography Mission.

This follow-on tasking, known as Void Fill, will update terrain models of locations where Space Shuttle Endeavour’s radar sensor had difficulty collecting data. The enhancements include the removal of processing anomalies and filling areas with data from alternate sources.

The task order was awarded under NGA’s Global Geospatial Intelligence contract, which is designed to provide the U.S. Department of Defense with critical, time- sensitive, intelligence and geospatial information. Boeing is one of two prime contractors for the program, which has a potential total value of $750 million over the course of 10 years. The most recent award brings Boeing’s total awards under the program to $35 million.
