Commonwealth Computer Research Inc. has received a $499,767 contract from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency to develop a data analytics-based platform designed to evaluate and identify GEOINT data that has potential value to users.
NGA awarded the contract under the first topic of a broad agency announcement for the agency’s Boosting Innovative GEOINT program, NGA said Wednesday.
CCRi will use machine learning techniques to build a dashboard that will work to help NGA determine GEOINT user communities and identify valuable GEOINT information.
“Through this research opportunity, we want to create an environment where the impact of GEOINT data is well understood by NGA through the seamless capture of user feedback and information,†said Kim Fite, deputy director of NGA’s source.
Work under the contract will run through April 2017.
NGA has added two more topics to the BAA in order to seek new platforms in the areas of artificial intelligence automation and synthetic aperture radar image formation, according to a FedBizOpps notice published July 6.
The BAA is scheduled to close on Dec. 8, 2018.
