Intergraph awarded Norwegian topographical map contract
Intergraph has been awarded a contract by the Norwegian armed forces to produce unclassified topographical maps in support of the Norwegian Military Geographic Service (FMGT). The contract was announced on 18 November.
Intergraph will use Hexagon Geospatial software to develop 1:50,000 scale maps, named MGCP Derived Graphics (MDGs), which provide detailed terrain information to support military analysis and tactical use.
The MDGs will be based on high resolution vector data produced through the Multinational Geospatial Co-production Program (MGCP), covering different regions of the world. They will display the characteristics of the battlefield, such as land use patterns, logistical infrastructure, canals, waterways, demographics and political boundaries.
Maximilian Weber, senior vice president, Intergraph Security, Government & Infrastructure, EMEA, said: ‘Intergraph is pleased to support Norwegian armed forces in this important project. We look forward to providing updated geographic information to aid the Norwegian military in its mission.’
FMGT is the authority and manager of geographic information in the Norwegian armed forces. Its role is to provide, assure the quality of and distribute correct and updated geographic information and services to support Norwegian armed forces at home and abroad.
