The Air Force Distributed Common Ground System is retiring its current systems of ordering imagery from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, in favor of new mechanisms such as the National Exploitation Services and Net-Centric Geospatial-Intelligence Discovery Services.
The Air Force has put out a sources-sought notice for contractors to support the transition. The purpose of the notice is to support a potential future acquisition of an enterprise approach for ingesting and storing imagery data on the collateral and high-side East Coast Hub and West Coast Hub Data Storage and Dissemination devices, according to the Air Force.
The possible future acquisition will also provide content discovery and retrieval of the NGA imagery data, according to the Air Force. Retrieval may incorporate some combination of remote data visualization, data streaming technologies, and traditional file transfer capabilities.
