(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Defense agency will work closely with Hexagon Geospatial Premium Partner for
next two years
NORCROSS, Ga., Oct. 19, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- At the HxGN LOCAL Defense
Summit, a conference dedicated to defense and security in Western Europe,
Hexagon Geospatial announced that the Bundeswehr Geoinformation Centre (BGIC)
recently renewed a large software maintenance contract for Hexagon Geospatial
products.
The two-year renewal is for more than 100 licenses, mainly within the GeoMedia
and ImageStation product families. The contract also includes consulting for
workflow optimization.
The contract was issued to Geosystems, a Hexagon Geospatial Premium Partner,
which will work closely with the local subsidiary of Hexagon Safety &
Infrastructure in Bonn and Munich to support BGIC.
"The strong Hexagon Geospatial partner network allows our defense customers to
benefit from a unique pool of expertise and tradecraft in the areas of remote
sensing, GIS, and photogrammetry for geospatial production workflows," said
Mladen Stojic, Hexagon Geospatial President. "This ensures that our defense
customers always have access to the latest and most accurate technology
available to ensure that their mission planning and decision-making can be done
in the fastest and safest way possible."
The Bundeswehr Geoinformation Centre serves the Army, Air Force, Navy, Joint
Support Service, Cyber and Information Domain Service and other organizations in
the German Armed Forces. They provide geospatial information about physical
features of the Earth, both natural and constructed.
Image interpreters use the remote sensing software to analyze imagery from
satellites, both commercial and non-commercial. BGIC is using Hexagon Geospatial
software and strives for new ways to collect, integrate, manage, analyze, and
share geospatial data in an increasingly complex security environment.
