Lockheed, Esri deploy ArcGIS portal
Lockheed Martin and Esri have deployed a portal for the latter's ArcGIS geographic information system with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), as announced by Lockheed on 17 February.
With the deployment of this commercial software to the Amazon Web Services Commercial Cloud Services environment, analysts will be able to securely organise and share data throughout the intelligence community and Department of Defense.
Deployment of the ArcGIS portal is one of the first steps to consolidating multiple geospatial intelligence portals into the single NGA-provided portal, resulting in technology and license cost savings.
ArcGIS connects users to maps and geographic information. It can be used to create and view maps, analyse mapped information, compile geographic data and share geographic information in a range of applications.
Jack Dangermond, president, Esri, said: 'Working with Lockheed Martin and the NGA on this strategic implementation for national security is particularly meaningful. It recognises the importance of consolidating geospatial intelligence information into a single portal to facilitate rapid situational awareness and response by our intelligence community.'
