Maxar’s 3D data suite—created from the company’s
industry-leading, highly accurate satellite imagery—enhances
situational awareness and decision-making for military
applications. The 3D data suite includes a 3D Surface Model, which
provides a high-fidelity, positionally accurate and photorealistic
view of terrain and surface features and textures. The suite’s
Digital Terrain Model product is a bare Earth elevation data layer
generated with fully automated processing and delivered at speeds
far beyond traditional technologies.
“Maxar’s high-resolution 3D data and satellite imagery are
integral for high-confidence mapping, planning and operational
support, which can help end users make better decisions and save
lives, resources and time,” said Tony Frazier, Maxar’s Executive
Vice President of Global Field Operations. “Maxar is proud to
expand our partnership with the Australian Department of Defence by
providing our newest 3D data products.”
With these latest contracts, Australia—a key U.S. ally and
member of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance—demonstrates the
increased adoption of commercial satellite imagery and derived data
products for critical national defense and intelligence missions.
The Australian Department of Defence has been a Maxar Direct Access
Program partner since 2018, with the ability to directly task and
download satellite imagery from Maxar’s current constellation in
real-time to its ground station.
