Raytheon Company has been awarded the Information Dissemination Services-Direct Delivery (IDS-D) program, valued at $203 million, for the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA).
IDS-D is an automated, high performance delivery system that includes smart information push, support data services and profile management, and an innovative data compression and format conversion process that allows delivery of user requested information on time. During the past nine months, Raytheon worked directly with government personnel and support contractors to refine program requirements and design a dissemination architecture to support future needs of the intelligence community.
"IDS-D is an important system that will help NIMA successfully execute its vision of guaranteeing the information edge," said Mike Keebaugh, vice president and general manager of Raytheon's Imagery and Geospatial Systems business unit. "IDS-D provides an unprecedented capability for NIMA to satisfy high priority information needs from its user community," Keebaugh said.
IDS-D receives, profiles, processes and directs large volumes of data at multiple security levels and provides timely, relevant, and accurate imagery and imagery intelligence information to the armed services and intelligence community. IDS-D is a key element of the United States Imagery and Geospatial Information Service (USIGS), an extensive network of systems used by the Department of Defense and the intelligence community to share and exploit imagery, imagery intelligence and geospatial information.
