"Fulfilling our commitments to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency is our top priority and at this point we have achieved every milestone on or before the date promised," said Walter Scott, chief technology officer, DigitalGlobe. "We expect our enhanced infrastructure to be operational in 2012, allowing us to be more responsive to NGA needs and satisfy increasingly stringent EnhancedView requirements. Ultimately, these investments will enable us to provide the best service possible."
The EnhancedView contract vehicle was awarded to DigitalGlobe in August 2010. A copy of the NGA's original EnhancedView award announcement can be found at www.nga.mil/Newsroom/PressReleases/Press%20Releases/nga_10_10.pdf.
