Exclusive: Maxar and Saab seek stronger Europe in new partnership
Maxar Intelligence and Saab are expanding their partnership, this time focused on geospatial intelligence, drone autonomy and improved targeting. Why it matters: The collaboration could bolster European security at a time when Russia's war machine looms large and a rearmed continent remains a hot topic. "We can transfer that knowledge, their capabilities, into European defense in several different ways," Per Järbur, director of strategy and future capabilities at Saab's Dynamics business area, told Axios. Zoom in: The deal gives Saab access to Maxar's satellite imagery and terrain data, as well as software like Raptor, which lets drones navigate in the absence of GPS with no additional, bolted-on equipment. The two companies tested Raptor in multiple countries, but did not specify which. "If you think about the geo-accuracy of what we're doing, we're within a couple of meters … for things like targeting and so forth," Dan Smoot, Maxar Intelligence's chief executive, said in an interview. "That's the power of having this rapid and precise 3D capability built into Raptor." Zoom out: The goal is to have an immediate effect. Both companies mentioned strengthening C5ISR, or command, control, communications, computers, cyber, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.

Maxar and Saab Agree Strategic Partnership to Develop Multi-Domain Battlespace Solutions and Advance Europe's Space-Based Capabilities
WESTMINSTER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 4, 2025-- Maxar Intelligence, the leading provider of secure, precise geospatial insights, today announced a strategic partnership with Saab to jointly develop next-generation multi-domain battlespace solutions, with a specific focus on advanced space-based C5ISR systems (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) for the digital battlefield and GPS resilience for autonomous drone systems. These solutions will help Europe accelerate the development of more advanced sovereign space-based capabilities. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: Maxar Intelligence and Saab are partnering to develop next-generation battlespace solutions. Using Maxar's industry-leading geospatial intelligence products and its Raptor technology, the two partners will develop new technologies for advanced C5ISR and effective operation of autonomous drone systems in GPS-denied environments. (Graphic: Maxar Intelligence) Through a Teaming Agreement, Saab can access Maxar's geospatial intelligence and advanced mission products like Raptor, as well as draw upon the company's technical expertise. The deal expands on Maxar's existing relationship with Saab, which has most recently focused on deploying Maxar's Raptor product for autonomous drone navigation and operation in GPS-denied environments. 'This partnership will bring together Maxar's industry-leading geospatial intelligence products with Saab's highly advanced defense systems to solve some of the most complex tactical and operational challenges across the battlespace today—from powering more intelligent, real-time multi-domain command and control systems to helping autonomous systems overcome GPS jamming,' said Dan Smoot, Maxar Intelligence CEO. 'The deal also reflects the growing realization that geospatial intelligence can go beyond powering analyst workflows to powering mission-focused software products deployed at the tactical edge.' 'And, most importantly, our partnership with Saab underscores Maxar's deep commitment to supporting our international customers as they continue to build up their sovereign defense capabilities, both in Europe and across the globe,' Smoot continued. The agreement builds on successful joint testing of Maxar's Raptor software product. The technology was tested with Saab in multiple countries, including a demo in real-world conditions where the product demonstrated the ability to accurately extract ground coordinates within an accuracy of less than 2 m. 'Our collaboration with Maxar represents a significant leap forward in our commitment to use information from the Space domain and thereby enhancing the strategic defense capabilities of Europe and beyond,' says Görgen Johansson, head of Saab business area Dynamics. 'By integrating Maxar's high-end geospatial insights and satellite capabilities with our advanced defense systems, we are setting new standards in the effectiveness and reliability of military operations across multiple domains.' Maxar's geospatial intelligence products will also help Saab build more advanced C5ISR solutions through secure access to the most advanced commercial satellite imagery in near real-time. Maxar's global 3D terrain data unlocks unique opportunities for real-time multi-source data fusion, enabling truly joint multi-domain operations, seamless interoperability between autonomous systems and enhanced mission coordination. About Maxar Intelligence Maxar Intelligence is a leading provider of secure, precise geospatial insights. Operating the most advanced commercial Earth observation constellation on orbit, we use the power of very high-resolution satellite imagery and software technology to deliver mission success on Earth and in space.

Baker Tilly Case Study: Global Engineering and Defense Technologies Provider Successfully Implements Deltek Costpoint
Client background HII Mission Technologies (Huntington Ingalls Industries) is the largest military shipbuilder and a global engineering and defense technologies provider, with over 135 years in trusted partnerships with the US national security. As HII has evolved and built a longstanding shipbuilding legacy, they've advanced to provide delivery critical technology solutions. These include unmanned systems, artificial intelligence and machine learning, synthetic training, electronic warfare, and C5ISR: Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance. HII's ongoing digital transformation efforts extend into all business areas and impact the entire workforce. The business challenge When HII completed an acquisition that doubled its size, two ERP systems needed to be combined to ensure operations went smoothly. The newly acquired company needed to be quickly converted into the same ERP system that HII had been relying upon for so many years. Integrating such an enormous entity into HII's Costpoint infrastructure would be a challenging project. HII has over 7,000 employees, with all of them using their timekeeping capabilities and Costpoint. In addition, HII works with 1,200 subcontractors that also rely on the time system, program managers and project controllers, all managing and monitoring projects and back-office staff. Baker Tilly, as a Deltek system's integrator, worked with HII and synchronized systems across the two organizations and ensured the needs of both sides were met. Strategy and solution Deltek Costpoint has been HII's ERP of choice for operations management for more than two decades. As Costpoint's ERP is project-based and built specifically for government contractors, it offers an all-in-one system delivering innovation and intelligence across the project lifecycle. Baker Tilly helped HII implement Costpoint for the newly acquired company. Despite the size and complexity of the implementation, Baker Tilly successfully completed the project in months. 'I think it's important to focus on the scale and timeline of this project,' says Colt Meraw, Senior Manager on Baker Tilly's team. 'HII acquired a multibillion-dollar company that was running on a JAMIS system, and we were able to successfully complete a mid-year conversion within just six months.' As part of the integration project, Baker Tilly also worked closely with Deltek Global Consulting's data conversion team to help them translate requirements and convert and validate data. Having completed in June 2022, and experiencing six months on a combined system, HII is still harvesting benefits and seeing huge success. Why choose Baker Tilly Baker Tilly was Deltek's first strategic alliance partner to provide consultancy services as part of their ERP implementation project. Helping government contractors leverage technology solutions through specialist knowledge and project management rigor. By leveraging Deltek Costpoint in the Cloud, HII will be able to embrace its future of enterprise transformation and solidify its position as the nation's largest military shipbuilder.
