Geospatial Data – Maritime
SDI provides geospatial services in support of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s (NGA) Foundation GEOINT Maritime program. The objectives are to produce and continuously maintain NGA’s Hydrographic Foundation Data – primarily including Digital Nautical Chart (DNC) data as well as other digital products formatted to Vector Product Format (VPF). DNC coverages are composed of Harbor, Approach, Coastal, and General Libraries. Hydrographic Foundation Data is intended to support safety of navigation, maritime planning operations, and intelligence activities on a worldwide basis. SDI performs additional NGA Maritime related geospatial services to include New Library Collection (NLC) and New Source Incorporation (NSI) over numerous regions of the world. Work is performed within an ArcGIS platform and subsequently converted to VPF or virtually any other desired data format.
Geospatial Data – Content Management
SDI provides geospatial services in support of NGA’s Foundation GEOINT Content Management program. SDI provides specification compliant data that supports the use of digital features for map production. Practical applications of our data include tactical planning for military mission operations, disaster support and preparation, as well as humanitarian operations. Digital production of point, line, and area features is accomplished by utilizing government and commercially available imagery as well as cartographic sources. Resultant detailed datasets include: Vertical Obstruction (VO), Transportation, Hydrography, Power, Groundcover, and Cultural feature layers created by conflating existing datasets and providing ‘gap fill’ via on-screen digitization and feature attribution.
