Engility to find geospatial apps for NGA

Engility and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) have begun a program to solicit and acquire geospatial apps from commercial developers.

NGA awarded TASC, an Engility company, a four-year, $25 million contract to run the Innovative GEOINT App Provider Program (IGAPP), according to an Engility announcement.

"Through this creative program, application developers will use unclassified geospatial data to build applications that will provide users with a wide range of content, including air, land and sea navigation information, as well as mapping and infrastructure imagery that would provide critical information in emergency situations," said Engility CEO Tony Smeraglinolo.
