Operating in GPS-denied environments is mission critical

Utilizing Intermap’s proprietary data and technology to achieve assured positioning, navigation, and timing for air, ground, space, near-space and airborne systems without GPS

DENVER, Aug. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Intermap Technologies (TSX: IMP; OTCQB: ITMSF) (“Intermap” or the “Company”), a global leader in 3D geospatial products and intelligence solutions, today announced it won a second phase in its prime contract with the U.S. Air Force to support its development of navigation solutions for GPS-denied environments. This program highlights another example of the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) leveraging Intermap’s commercial research and development.

Intermap is a pioneer and leads the industry in collecting, building and utilizing global-scale and highly precise, raw data, sourced from across the electromagnetic spectrum and extended to gridded or meshed 3D elevation models. Intermap is the only company with a global archive of precise, multi-frequency, multi-look SAR that is collected in slant-range and co-registered in real-time with proprietary, complex algorithms. The Air Force will leverage this unique capability and extensive archive, which is the world’s largest, to advance its next generation of positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) systems. Further to the announcement on December 20, 2021, under this prime contract, Intermap will provide relevant data, operational experience, applied technology, low-latency collection and processing capabilities, engineering and scientific support.

Phase two of this prime contract is 5x the revenue of phase one. Intermap is developing plans now for a future phase that will be materially larger than phase two and may lead to graduating these mission-critical capabilities to a program of record, such as Advanced Battlefield Management Systems (ABMS). Further to the announcement on September 29, 2022, Intermap is a team member on ABMS.

“As recent experience deploying Western weapons platforms in large-scale battlefield environments confirms, adversary electronic warfare capabilities increasingly interfere with GPS, challenging dynamic maneuver, communications, navigation, ISR, missile early warning and tracking superiority,” said Patrick A. Blott, Intermap Chairman and CEO. “In these GPS-denied environments, battlefield performance of terrestrial, airborne and space platforms require precise PNT to enable multidomain operations. Intermap is working on this problem by leveraging several technological capabilities under multiple announced DOD and commercial contracts for GPS-denied environments, including with the U.S. Air Force, NASA Artemis III, and an undisclosed commercial satellite communications company.”

On July 10, 2024, at a change of command ceremony at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio, the incoming and outgoing commanders of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) spoke about the group’s objectives. “I believe the mission of AFRL has never been more critical,” said Brig. Gen. Jason E. Bartolomei, Commander, Air Force Research Laboratory, Air Force Materiel Command, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, and the Technology Executive Officer supporting the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force. “The future of the fight depends on our innovations, technical wizardry, and our role to support and integrate within the air and space domains. Like the past, our success depends on the brilliant, patriotic, hardworking, faithful men and women from all ranks and all walks of life banding together to deliver game-changing technology.”

“AFRL is trying to build that affordable, competitive, continuous pipeline of technologies that we can then put into programs of record and field,” said General Duke Z. Richardson, AFRL’s previous Commander.
