Intermap Technologies (TSX: IMP; OTCQB: ITMSF), a global leader in 3D geospatial products and intelligence solutions, has announced a significant partnership with CACI, Inc. – Federal. Together, they have been selected by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) as one of ten qualified vendors for the innovative Luno A program. This selection marks a pivotal moment in Intermap’s growth trajectory and reinforces its position within the geospatial intelligence sector.
The Luno A initiative aims to provide the NGA with continuously updated, low-latency foundational data to bolster critical national security indicators. This new program builds upon the framework established by the previous Economic Indicator Monitoring (EIM) effort, which began in 2021. By integrating commercial satellite data, Luno A seeks to enhance insights into a variety of factors that impact national security, including economic activities, military capabilities, and environmental conditions.
The introduction of advanced computer vision and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven geospatial intelligence is a game-changer for the U.S. National Security Community (NSC). Luno A is designed to seamlessly integrate these technologies, providing real-time, actionable intelligence that can be directly utilized in the analytic workflows of the NSC.
The Luno A contract, valued at up to $290 million over five years, signifies a remarkable increase from the initial EIM budget of $29 million and the previously planned $60 million ceiling. This dramatic rise in funding reflects the growing importance and capabilities of unclassified computer vision technologies within U.S. government operations. The substantial investment underscores the confidence placed in Intermap and CACI to deliver innovative geospatial solutions that meet the complex needs of national security.
As part of the Luno A program, Team CACI will leverage Intermap’s patented IRIS™ processing suite in conjunction with CACI’s Feature Trace software. This next-generation platform will utilize advanced geospatial AI and machine learning models to produce precise, near-real-time feature datasets. These datasets will capture dynamic changes in land usage and infrastructure, providing critical insights for analysts working within the NSC.
The technology can operate as a standalone tool, generating valuable insights for analysts, or it can enhance existing workflows by powering Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and map sheet updates through effective change detection of both manmade and natural features.
Intermap Technologies’ selection as a qualified vendor for the NGA’s Luno A program highlights the company’s expertise in geospatial intelligence and its ability to innovate within this rapidly evolving field. As the collaboration with CACI unfolds, stakeholders can expect significant advancements in how geospatial data supports national security initiatives.
The Luno A program represents a leap forward in the use of geospatial intelligence, promising to deliver real-time insights that will shape the future of national security operations. For Intermap, this partnership not only affirms its technological prowess but also sets the stage for further growth and development in the geospatial landscape.
