Netherlands – Telecommunications services – Direct Access Satellite Imagery Portal

The Defence Geographic Agency (DGA) within the Netherlands Ministry of Defence (MoD) has the need for a contracted solution for the direct access to Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite imagery via an online portal and a solution for the access to Synthetic-Aperture Radar (SAR) data, elevation data and the tasking of Electro-Optical (EO) satellites without 3rd party interference. The DGA requires a contracted solution with two commercial suppliers, for the duration of four years, in order to continue and improve its foundation imagery services for the NLD MoD. The satellite images will be used by all service branches of the NLD MoD to jointly improve geospatial information (GI) enabled decision making in support of readiness and deployment during peacetime and combat operations. Various systems will be used, including but not limited to: • Geospatial information & remote sensing systems; • Simulation systems; • Command & Control systems; • Mission planning systems.
