Geospatial data services are to be provided to the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency by the Harris Corporation.

The Florida-headquartered communications company said the products will be provided for as much as five years under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity Foundation GEOINT Content Management contracts with a combined potential value of $770 million.

The data and products will cover regions such as the Pacific, North America, South America and Africa and will be used by the U.S. intelligence community and military for comprehensive geospatial maps of the world.

Harris said its One Feature One Time database, which automatically eliminates data redundancy and stores the most current representation of each geospatial feature, will be used in the requirements of the contracts.

"Our unique solution provides improved accuracy, reduced production costs and significantly faster turn-around of geospatial products and content," said Bill Gattle, vice president and general manager, National Programs, Harris Government Communications Systems. "This major win continues our legacy of providing high-quality, responsive geospatial products to the intelligence and military communities."

Additional details of the contracts were not disclosed.
