BAE Systems receives iSToRE contract
The US National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has awarded the Information Store (iSToRE) contract to BAE Systems, the company announced on 12 January. The contract will see BAE provide advanced data management capabilities to support the National System for Geospatial Intelligence (NSG).
The iSToRE is the knowledge management solution of the NSG that consolidates, stores, and archives geospatial intelligence products. BAE will modernise it through the integration of its commercial data management software application, GXP Xplorer.
GXP Xplorer searches through unlimited amounts of data to identify and catalogue images, terrain, features, videos, and documents on local networks or across an enterprise. The software operates on a variety of hardware platforms scaling from handheld devices and rugged laptops to enterprise servers and virtualized cloud environments.
GXP Xplorer software licenses will be deployed globally to support the agency’s transition from legacy image product libraries to commercial-based information storage capabilities. The licenses will support worldwide intelligence operations by enhancing information sharing amongst joint task force headquarters, intelligence centres, and forward-deployed war fighters. The contract includes options to operationally field additional licenses to the NSG through September 2022.
