National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) Assists Santa Claus
Written by NGA
Thursday, 20 December 2007
BETHESDA, Md.— This holiday season, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
(NGA) again offered its expertise to one very special customer -- Santa Claus.
After being overwhelmed by a growing world demand, Santa approached NGA and
asked for help to streamline his Christmas Eve deliveries. “You helped me out last year
and I need some new routes that will let me move around the world quickly and
efficiently,” he said.
NGA combined satellite imagery with its map and chart making expertise to upgrade a
digital navigation system that focused on Santa’s problem. Called NGA TOY
DELIVERY SYSTEM X-100, this specialized geospatial intelligence product was
specifically formatted to let Santa create quick and easy routes around the globe. Since
its development in 2006, NGA has made several enhancements to the system, resulting in
increased speed and accuracy.
After several successful trial runs, the system upgrades met with Santa’s approval. “If
folks thought last year was good, wait until this Christmas Eve,” Santa said. “The kind
folks at NGA have made my job much easier and I can’t thank them enough.”
NGA is honored to be a partner with the number one world traveler. To view the
upgraded NGA TOY DELIVERY SYSTEM X-100 and see how it is used by its revered
customer, please go to www.nga.mil.
