BAE Systems awarded NERVE contract

The US National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has awarded BAE Systems a five-year indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) $347 million contract for NERVE, the National System for Geospatial-Intelligence (NSG) Enterprise Repository and Virtual Environment programme.

NERVE will modernise the NSG Consolidated Library (NCL), which includes expanding it from a physical data centre to cloud-based data services.

The NCL is a centralised operational and systems framework that hosts geospatial intelligence (GEOINT). NERVE will take capabilities that have been on premise at physical locations and migrate them to a modern cloud-based software architecture. Regardless of location, this will enable NGA analysts to receive and make sense of vast amounts of information faster.

NERVE will also provide new GEOINT capabilities and integrate sensors into the cloud-based content management system.

Meg Redlin, product line director for Mission Systems at BAE Systems said: “This is an important upgrade for the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense due to the high volume of critical data that comes into the NSG workflow.

“NERVE allows that data to flow out at the rate needed to support predictive analytics and missions. It modernises and sustains geospatial intelligence – getting it to the right users at the right time.”

Work on NERVE will take place at BAE Systems’ San Diego, Rome, New York and Reston, Virginia, facilities, as well as NGA St Louis and Washington sites. Major cloud deployments are ongoing and will continue through the period of performance.
