Radiant is the sole designer, developer, manufacturer, and prime integrator of the RGT Prototype system which includes proprietary data and intellectual property exclusively owned by Radiant. The RGT was originally contracted with MDA Information Systems, to develop ground station software for commercial imagery providers to allow direct access and processing of satellite data. These imagery providers included MacDonald, Dettwiler, and Associates, the operator of the RADARsat satellites, DigitalGlobe, the operator of the WorldView Satellites and GeoEye, the operator of the GeoEye satellites, as well as several other smaller companies. Since then, all of these companies have either merged with, been acquired, or reorganized into Radiant. Due to these consolidations of imagery providers, Radiant is now the only vendor capable of performing RGT services; developing software capable of making the RGT operational; and integrating commercial data to provide a functional system for military application.
