Millions of Dollars to Help Accelerate Novel Approaches to Geomagnetic Data Collection for the World Magnetic Model

Springfield, VA -- September 28, 2021 -- The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency^[1] (NGA) just launched the Demonstration Phase (Phase 4a) of its MagQuest Challenge^[2] to develop novel data collection approaches for the World Magnetic Model. 

The WMM ultimately ensures the accuracy of navigation because it corrects for differences in magnetic forces at a user’s location. The model is used by thousands of systems for mobile navigation apps and is critical for military and commercial uses around the world.

Produced since 1905, the WMM originated with data collection from two ships surveying 500,000 miles of ocean. Today, the data is collected by satellites operated by the European Space Agency that will eventually reach the end of their useful life. NGA’s MagQuest Challenge is promoting the development of miniaturized solutions to determine if they can produce data useful to support WMM production. NGA has an extensive network of government partners collaborating on the WMM production, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the British Geological Survey, the Federal Aviation Administration, the...
