For more than 20 years, we have designed and implemented science-data instruments and mission-critical data systems encompassing the oceans, land, atmosphere, sun, our solar system, and deep space. These systems allow us to gather environmental data and turn it into actionable information. INNOVIM serves US government agencies including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and Department of Defense (DoD).
INNOVIM’s scientists and engineers use science, engineering, and data management techniques to transform vast amounts of environmental and scientific data into powerful tools for decision making. With our roots in Earth observation satellite system applications, we have expanded our expertise into systems and software engineering, data analytics, and designing and managing mission-critical systems. From predicting weather patterns to delivering critical information affecting an upcoming military operation, our innovative solutions are forming the core of a future intelligence system that enables our customers to mitigate risk while operating in an agile, efficient manner to meet their missions.
By harnessing the power of science, information technology, and engineering, INNOVIM is helping create a better future for Americans and the planet.
