The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) became the first intelligence agency to host an operational capability within Amazon Web Services’ Commercial Cloud Services (C2S) environment after Lockheed Martin deployed the interactive map for NGA’s Map of the World to the C2S environment.

The Map of the World initiative acts as an interface for NGA’s geospatial intelligence data. Designed for both novice users and geospatial-intelligence experts, it lets users search for objects like bridges or railroad depots and know where the objects are located, as well as intelligence embedded within each object.

The Total Application Services for Enterprise Requirements (TASER) GVS contract vehicle, which was originally awarded in 2012, conveys geospatial visualization context and analytic capabilities to warfighters, intelligence officers and policy-makers through classified and unclassified computer networks.
