The EnhancedView WHS provides users with online access to GeoEye
and third-party Earth imagery processed into highly precise
foundation geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) and base maps. The
EnhancedView WHS has been operating on the Internet since
May 2011. This important upgrade will
allow users to access this valuable service through their preferred
customer networks or access points. As new imagery is collected, it
will be immediately updated and disseminated to users through
intuitive Web map interfaces. Users can also access identical
imagery through Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant
applications such as Esri's ArcGIS, Google Earth and certain
government portals. Users now automatically receive electronic
notification when new imagery is available over specific or broad
areas of interest.
The additional delivery was on schedule and included NGA
certification and accreditation. The new delivery activates a
$750,000 additional monthly payment
to GeoEye under the current terms of the EnhancedView Service Level
Agreement (SLA).
"By enabling additional access to the EnhancedView WHS, GeoEye
can help warfighters, analysts, and map producers gain more timely
access to relevant GEOINT. This is a major step forward in
supporting NGA's strategic vision and mission objectives," said
Chris Incardona, GeoEye's senior
director, Government Programs, NGA.
The EnhancedView WHS is powered by GeoEye's online access
platform, EyeQ™. EyeQ enables thousands of concurrent users to
easily access and download hundreds of terabytes of high-resolution
imagery.
