Maxar Technologies‘ DigitalGlobe business has secured a $3.2M contract from the the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to build a technology platform for military and intelligence agencies to access unclassified geospatial data.
The Geospatial Cloud Analytics Hub platform is intended to help users obtain insights and make decisions with cloud-based machine learning, Maxar said Monday.
DigitalGlobe will use its Geospatial Big Data analytics platform as the foundation for GCA Hub development.
