NGA plans historical imagery scanning tech acquisition via OTA process - top government contractors - best government contracting eventThe National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency has begun its search for a commercial provider to develop a scanner prototype that NGA can implement to digitize historical images.

NGA said Tuesday it will use “other transaction authority” to acquire technology designed to catalog imagery from aerial and satellite film missions conducted over the past 83 years.

“We’ve never had pictures of the Earth over this volume of time, so there’s a lot of opportunities for the government and industry to partner on new capabilities,” said Charli Lacagnina, an NGA researcher.

The agency plans to convert data sets collected by the KH-7, KH-8 and KH-9 satellites from 1963 to 1986 into digital format to support the intelligence community’s automated target detection and predictive analysis efforts.

NGA partnered with the SOSSEC consortium in an effort to simplify the OTA process.
