The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency has awarded Barone Consulting a task order to provide scientific research to the InnoVision Future Solutions Program.
IFSP provides support for the research and implementation of innovative science to solve the intelligence community and Department of Defense’s most complicated problems. IFSP also explores the newest scientific discoveries, including the prominent current research of LIDAR, or the use of laser technology to create three-dimensional geospatial maps. NGA and IFSP plan to use the remote sensing ability of LIDAR to capture laser information and gather geospatial information for a variety of new projects.
“This new technology gives us a whole new look at the world and our ability to gather data,” says David Kalin, Barone Consulting senior scientist. “By using 3D laser technology, we can get finer and more accurate geospatial data that can be used in all sorts of areas. This is a huge breakthrough and a great opportunity.”
As part of the contract, Barone Consulting will have a heavy presence in the development and application of LIDAR mapping. They will also work with Booz Allen to provide engineering and technical assistance on IFSP’s many other areas of study. The task order will last until 2017.
