BAE and Information Systems Laboratories have received contracts to support intelligence exploitation systems.

The indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) multiple award contracts, awarded by Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCMD) in China Lake, California, are for Intelligence Exploitation and Targeting Systems (IEST), including “development and fielding of prototypes related to future systems or the sustainment of deployed systems,” according to a Department of Defense contract announcement. The aggregate value of the contracts will not exceed $45 million.

In a 2013 sources-sought solicitation, NAWCMD noted that it manages the Joint Common Geo-positioning Services Project (CGSP), which defines IETS requirements and provides software for geo-location, image exploitation, and targeting intelligence.
