The EnhancedView commercial imagery program built on existing government contracting for images from commercial satellites, and was designed to pay out over the next decade, ensuring government agencies got the intelligence they needed from cameras in orbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the contracts were <a href=\"https:\/\/fas.org\/irp\/news\/2010\/08\/nga-contract.pdf\" target=_blank>first awarded in 2010<\/a>, EnhancedView was offered as a mechanism to provide \u201cgreater access, priority tasking and improved capability and capacity to government customers from the next series of U.S. commercial imagery satellites.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The duration of the forever war has provided the viability of the contract and the information gathered. In 2012, as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan appeared to be winding toward an end, the reduced need and increased budget constraints led to a <a href=\"https:\/\/spacepolicyonline.com\/news\/enhancedview-news-not-so-rosy-for-geoeye\/\" target=_blank>brief re-evaluation<\/a> of the EnhancedView program, but it endured. Commercial satellite imagery is used for everything today from accurately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/c2-comms\/satellites\/2017\/11\/08\/what-world-bank-learned-from-satellite-images-isis-sucked-at-oil-production\/\" target=_blank>assessing ISIS oil revenues<\/a> to finding evidence of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/intel-geoint\/2018\/09\/04\/charred-ruins-reveal-the-paths-of-war\/\" target=_blank>burnt villages<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCommercial imagery is an increasingly important part of satisfying both existing and emerging security and intelligence challenges,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nga.mil\/MediaRoom\/PressReleases\/Pages\/NGA-and-NRO-transition-commercial-imagery-acquisition-contract.aspx\" target=_blank>NRO Director Betty Sapp<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe award of the EVFO is an important first step in the NRO\u2019s strategy of embracing commercial imagery as a key element of our current overhead architecture and a critical and integral element of our future overhead architecture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NGA Director Robert Cardillo suggests that the contract transfer will provide an opportunity for the intelligence community to \u201cleverage data analytics and the broad spectrum of emerging commercial GEOINT services.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Reconnaissance Office is taking over a major contract from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, adding to its suite of intelligence services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":47763,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":39,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[8,106,109,29,32,39],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3021],"class_list":["post-15864","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-c2-comms","category-daily-brief","category-geoint-newsletters","category-home","category-newsletters","category-satellites"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"FUYDMTILI5BIRG67ZELTP5FQUY","arc_canonical_url":"\/c2-comms\/satellites\/2018\/09\/05\/nro-to-take-over-major-contract-from-nga\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The commercial imagery that will benefit national security challenges - C4ISRNet<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The National Reconnaissance Office is taking over a major contract from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, adding to its suite of intelligence services.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/c2-comms\/satellites\/2018\/09\/05\/nro-to-take-over-major-contract-from-nga\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The commercial imagery that will benefit national security challenges\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The National Reconnaissance Office is taking over a major contract from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, adding to its suite of intelligence services.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/c2-comms\/satellites\/2018\/09\/05\/nro-to-take-over-major-contract-from-nga\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"C4ISRNet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-09-05T23:54:48+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T17:54:28+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Kelsey D.
