Request for Information (RFI) USNIC SAR Data
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued this Request for Information to identify providers capable of supplying globally covered, georeferenced GeoTIFF Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery with near-real-time delivery. The required imagery must be available electronically on a continuous basis, with time-critical images delivered to the U.S. National Ice Center within approximately four hours of satellite acquisition. This is an information-gathering RFI rather than a grant program or binding solicitation, and it supports USNIC operational monitoring and forecasting needs in polar regions.
