Maxar Intelligence announced that it was awarded Phase 4 of the U.S. Army's One World Terrain (OWT) prototype Other Transaction Agreement contract. The OWT program delivers 3D global terrain capability and associated information services that support a fully accessible virtual representation of the physical Earth through the Army network. OWT is a key component of the Army's Synthetic Training Environment (STE), which provides a realistic, common and automatically generated global geospatial dataset for simulation based collective training, mission rehearsal and mission execution at the point of need.

Maxar's Phase 4 work is a continuation of ongoing engagement in the program, with a focus on delivering enhanced 3D terrain representation for STE Training Simulation Software /Training Management Tool (TSS/TMT) modeling, simulation and training capabilities. Maxar's recent OWT work for the Army has focused on areas including: Enhancing terrain data attribution and conflation using open-source geospatial data. Enhancing training areas using multisource collection, high-resolution insets.

Improving 3D terrain dataset fidelity and refining automation processes to generate realistic terrain for high-fidelity modeling and simulation systems. Developing terrain data export capability for operational Mission Command Information Systems. OWT is a component of the modernization initiative led by Army Futures Command's STE Cross Functional Team, managed by the Program Executive Office Simulation, Training and Instrumentation and contracted through Army Contracting Command-Orlando. Maxar Intelligence has supported the OWT contract since 2019.
