COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Aleut Information Technology, LLC (Aleut) was awarded a contract by the U.S. Air Force to provide maintenance, development, and support service for its existing Open Architecture Distributed Common Ground System (OA/DCGS) and Forward Processing Exploitation and Dissemination (FPED) platform – the United States’ primary visual data aggregator for military intelligence.
“We want to help analysts provide better output to their agencies,” said Aleut Federal’s Vice President of Technology Services, Geoff Vaughan. “We know how critical it is that information be processed and distributed efficiently and accurately. Aleut will continue to generate software updates at a quick cadence, adding capabilities that improve the functionality of the platform, and empower operators.”
FPED is a platform that takes a broad range of data including video, geospatial intelligence, photographs, and more, collected by aircraft in the field and exploits the data using subject matter experts located across the globe. Those experts then take the imagery and identify items of interest (e.g., weapons, vehicles and troops). The annotated files are then disseminated to subsystems operated by external government agencies such as the Army, Navy and Marine Corps, who use it to generate intelligence reports on the status of the regions.
Under the newly awarded contract, Aleut will continue to support various sites within the FPED network to perform software and hardware updates and training, working with operators to learn what features and functionality options they’d like to see in future updates. Aleut uses human-centered design principles to research requirements and make User Experience (UX) improvement recommendations for government approval.
This contract has a potential duration of three years – including one, one-year base period and two, one-year options. Aleut will partner with the incumbent, MetroStar. Aleut is proud to retain the original subcontractors and key members of the original project team, ensuring a seamless transition.
FPED brings unique capabilities to the DCGS community that they can use to provide better intelligence to our troops,” said Vaughan. “Aleut is proud to facilitate these efficiencies in support of our military.”
