The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency has awarded Raytheon a five-year, $110.4 million contract to support the Geospatial-Intelligence Data Transformation Service IV program, extending the company’s role in modernizing the processing and dissemination of GEOINT data. NGA announced the contract award on Dec. 31.
What Work Does GDTS IV Cover?
The GDTS IV contract covers system operations, software development and infrastructure sustainment for the GEOINT service, which ingests, validates, transforms and distributes data from standard and nonstandard sources to the National System for Geospatial-Intelligence libraries and mission partners, according to the GDTS IV statement of work.
Under the contract, Raytheon will maintain and modernize the existing GDTS baseline while integrating new data sources and expanding system performance to support operations, including in denied, disconnected, intermittent or limited environments, primarily outside continental United States locations.
The work also includes support for file-based GEOINT, full-motion video and moving target indicator data across multiple classification levels; hybrid cloud and on-premises operations; zero trust security; and agile software delivery.
How Does GDTS IV Build on Raytheon’s Previous Contract?
Raytheon previously supported the program under the GDTS III contract, awarded by NGA in December 2020, with a total value of $59.4 million across a base year and four option years.
What Other NGA Programs Does Raytheon Support?
The latest award also builds on Raytheon’s ongoing support for NGA through a five-year, $270.9 million contract secured in 2023. Awarded under the Mantis program prior to the company’s rebrand to RTX, the contract provides critical imagery intelligence and analysis capabilities.
That work supports NGA’s Advanced GEOINT Services mission by enabling exploitation of non-literal imagery and delivering GEOINT capabilities across both the National System for Geospatial-Intelligence and the Allied System for Geospatial-Intelligence, which underpins intelligence sharing among Five Eyes partners.
