45	DG Subscription Service Need for a Subscription, or Maintenance, Service Traditionally, jurisdictions have NOT been imaged often enough to keep pace with development and change 6-inch and 1-foot resolution orthoimagery to support 1”=100’ and 1”=200’ scale mapping is prohibitively expensive on an annual basis Thus, typical update cycles are 3-5 years, or longer Important Landbase information is often out of date QuickBird imagery can be delivered annually in the “interim years” to keep GIS and landbase information current 2 foot, Next Generation Orthoimage is Current and Affordable Registered to the existing orthoimage, thus the existing landbase Conducive to easy updates Multi-acquisition commitment from customers– offering 20-25% discount for subsequent acquisitions Non-restrictive Civil Government License included
46	Flexible Civil Government License
47	Federal / State / Local Government DigitalGlobe/QuickBird Value: One QuickBird imagery acquisition over an area of interest can be used by multiple agencies/departments for multiple applications: Imagery documenting emergency/disaster situations pre- and post- event leads to faster assessment and mitigation plans with fewer onsite visits Cost effective tool to identify and/or monitor state-wide public health, safety and environmental concerns Monitor and assess state coastal assets (barrier islands, wetlands, fisheries, etc.) Resource management can be done more efficiently with fewer field visits Determine pervious or impervious surfaces for runoff and Homeland Security activities can be supported by using imagery as a timely, cost-effective tool and base map layer to identify vulnerability of key port facility and and coastal infrastructure Only source of all-digital 2-foot satellite imagery allows agencies to acquire product via sole source solicitation
48	DG Advantages and Benefits Business DG is a truly global company, with offices in Colorado, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, Wash DC, Singapore and Master Distributor network that spans the globe Financial stability and international company recognition – offers alternative Long term, continuous business relationships and contracts with many Federal, State and Local Civil Government Organizations Value-added products for applications of interest Non-restrictive Civil Government License, GSA, Existing Contracting Vehicles, Sole Source contracting capability Competitive, affordable pricing including significant government agency discounts Technical Control and management of QuickBird 2-foot multispectral imaging satellite Access to Remote Areas Funded to build 2 WorldView high resolution satellites, launch Q1 2006 Provides global access on a daily basis; support for subscription programs Capability to collect large areas, e.g., counties, in a single overpass Large ImageLibrary to support landbase update for multiple applications Registered 4-band multispectral imagery, coupled with understanding of remote sensing image processing techniques to support multiple applications
