NGA Software Aqua Badge Engineering Resources (SABER) / NGA DevCorps for Geospatial Apps
NGA’s GEOINT Services organization revolutionizes, creates, and provides geospatial capabilities of common concern for National System for Geospatial-Intelligence (NSG) mission partners. DevCorps is one of the divisions within GEOINT Services and delivers accessible, intuitive, and interoperable development capabilities and services to enable a broad range of missions. DevCorps needed to increase their capacity to address mission needs for Agile software development by soliciting additional software engineering resource capabilities through the Software Aqua Badge Engineering Resources (SABER) contract.
OMNI’s team is building several applications to support the NGA’s mission to develop advanced mathematical, scientific, and geospatial modeling capabilities. We apply SAFe patterns and principles such as regular and predictable cadence, small batches of work, and synchronized cross-domain planning, as well as DevSecOps best practices including automated static and dynamic application scanning, secure coding practices and Security as Code, and deployed to NGA’s Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) based PaaS environment. Our approach enables the ability to generate various output files including military standard formats that are more conducive for effective analysis and dissemination.
