National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Academic Research Program (NARP)
NGA welcomes all innovative ideas for path-breaking research that may advance the GEOINT mission.
The NGA mission is to provide timely, relevant, and accurate geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) in support of national security objectives.
GEOINT is the exploitation and analysis of imagery and geospatial information to describe, assess, and visually depict physical features and geographically referenced activities on the Earth.
GEOINT consists of imagery, imagery intelligence, and geospatial information.
NGA offers a variety of critical GEOINT products in support of U. S. national security objectives and Federal disaster relief, including aeronautical, geodesy, hydrographic, imagery, geospatial and topographical information.
The NGA Academic Research Program (NARP) is focused on innovative, far-reaching basic and applied research in science, technology, engineering and mathematics having the potential to advance the GEOINT mission.
The objective of the NARP is to support innovative, high-payoff research that provides the basis for revolutionary progress in areas of science and technology affecting the needs and mission of NGA.
This research also supports the National System for Geospatial Intelligence (NSG), which is the combination of technology, systems and organizations that gather, produce, distribute and consume geospatial data and information.
This research is aimed at advancing GEOINT capabilities by improving analytical methods, enhancing and expanding systems capabilities, and leveraging resources for common NSG goals.
The NARP also seeks to improve education in scientific, mathematics, and engineering skills necessary to advance GEOINT capabilities.
It is NGA’s intent to solicit fundamental research under this BAA.
Fundamental research means basic and applied research in science and engineering, the results of which ordinarily are published and shared broadly within the scientific community, as distinguished from proprietary research and from Industrial development, design, production, and product utilization, the results of which ordinarily are restricted for proprietary or national security reason.
(National Security Decision Directive (NSDD) 189, National Policy on the Transfer of Scientific, Technical, and Engineering Information).NGA seeks proposals from eligible U. S. institutions for path-breaking GEOINT research in areas of potential interest to NGA, the DoD, and the Intelligence Community (IC).
