Marketwired
DigitalGlobe (NYSE: DGI), a leading global provider of
high-resolution earth imagery solutions, was awarded today the
USGIF Industry Intelligence Award at GEOINT 2012, the nation's
largest intelligence event, for its work with the Satellite
Sentinel Project (SSP).
The SSP, a project initiated by actor George Clooney with
partnerships between the Enough Project, the Harvard Humanitarian
Initiative and DigitalGlobe, among others, calls attention to human
rights violations by using satellite imagery to prevent mass
atrocities in Sudan and South Sudan before they occur.
"We're honored to receive this award with the Satellite Sentinel
Project and the many caring partners devoting their time and
resources to the Sudans," said Jeffrey R. Tarr, president and chief
executive officer of DigitalGlobe. "Our continued partnership with
this truly selfless group of organizations is a priority for us,
and together we hope to continue making a meaningful difference for
the people of that region."
Combining on-the-ground data and intelligence from the SSP and
its partners with superior satellite imagery collected and analyzed
by the experts at DigitalGlobe, the team monitors the border
between Sudan and South Sudan to assess human security situations,
identify potential threats to civilians, and detect, deter and
document war crimes and crimes against humanity.
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but in the hands of an
expert analyst who can provide context and insight, it can be worth
infinitely more. DigitalGlobe's team of geospatial analysts is
based in Longmont, Colorado, and has supported analysis efforts
since the SSP's launch of its pilot phase in December of 2010.
DigitalGlobe keeps a constant eye on the world to provide early
insights into the business, market, military, environmental and
political changes that impact people worldwide. Ultimately,
DigitalGlobe helps give customers answers, allowing them to see the
full picture.
GEOINT 2012 Demonstrations of
DigitalGlobe's complete suite of GEOINT products and services will
be taking place at the DigitalGlobe booth #1401.
