DigitalGlobe Secures Contract with US Air Force

DigitalGlobe (NYSE: DGI), a leading global provider of high-resolution earth imagery solutions, today announced it will provide upgrades to multiple U.S. Air Force Eagle Vision mobile ground stations. This new capability will enable the delivery of the highest-quality imagery directly to warfighters and first responders in the fastest way possible. Upon completion, the ground stations will be capable of tasking DigitalGlobe's WorldView constellation of earth imaging satellites and rapidly downloading imagery from the satellites at maximum resolution, including DigitalGlobe's exclusive 8-band multi-spectral imagery. In most cases, this capability will make it possible to task, download and deliver new, up-to-date imagery to end-users within minutes of collection.
