Intermap Technologies Receives Radar Mapping Contract
Denver CO (SPX) May 29, 2006 Intermap Technologies Corp. announced Monday its Intermap Federal Services subsidiary has been awarded a $5.6 million contract to collect and deliver geographic three-dimensional elevation and imagery data via Intermap's radar mapping technology. The name of the client was not disclosed. Under the agreement, Intermap will deliver its Digital Surface Model and Orthorectified Radar Imagery data through 2006 and into early 2007. The collected data will enable Intermap's client to update its topographic maps and digital databases for terrain �that has not been accurately mapped or updated in recent years,� the company said in a statement. �Accurate geospatial information is important for the client in order to support and drive solutions within the region.� Intermap has delivered data �to this particular client for multiple years and the repeat business is a testament to the value and level of service we continue to deliver to the market," said Michael Bullock, vice president of engineering and president of Intermap Federal Services. Intermap is proactively remapping entire countries and building national databases, called NEXTMap, consisting of accurate digital topographic maps that include elevation data. The company said demand for its NEXTMap data is growing as new commercial applications are emerging, including geographical information systems, engineering planning, transportation, automotive, navigation, flood, irrigation, environmental management and planning, telecommunications/wireless network planning, aviation, simulation, and 3D visualization. Internet applications include virtual tours, topographic maps and computer games. Intermap also uses datasets to add interactive intelligence to airborne and satellite imagery. Related Links Intermap
