Headquartered in Seal Beach, Calif., Boeing Space and Intelligence Systems (S&IS) is The Boeing Company’s center for all intelligence programs. Providing innovative system solutions for national security and space, S&IS is a leader in large-scale systems integration, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems, communication systems, network systems, and protection and security systems.

S&IS offers end-to-end intelligence services such as collection, exploitation, communication, and the creation of fused knowledge products for all customers. Customers include many U.S. intelligence services and related special project offices.

Major programs include the Future Imagery Architecture (FIA) program, a multi-year contract awarded to Boeing by the NRO in September 1999. As a key element of the National Reconnaissance Office’s space-based architecture, this imagery reconnaissance architecture will provide a significant enhancement to America’s critical intelligence capability over the next decade and confirms Boeing’s leadership in the area of space imaging.

The unique capabilities in specialized modeling, visualization, simulation, and analysis of digital products support the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) imagery development and the National Security Agency (NSA) signals exploitation. Boeing Autometric, a unit of S&IS and the leader in geospatial information, provides an impressive portfolio of software products in these markets.

S&IS is also leading Boeing’s efforts to create the integrated battlespace, a network-centric system of assets operating within a common architecture to enable seamless sharing of information. These efforts support the revolution of intelligence gathering and warfighting underwater, on the ground, in the air, and in space. The integrated battlespace architecture allows systems to be interoperable and enables rapid mobilization, response, and decisive action on the battlefield.
