Niantic Spatial's 3D Reconstruction Technology Assessed "Awardable" on the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace

Niantic Spatial, a leading commercial dual-use provider of geospatial AI technology, announced that it has achieved "Awardable" status through the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office's (CDAO) Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace for its 3D Reconstruction platform.

This follows Niantic Spatial's Visual Positioning System achieving "Awardable" status on the Marketplace earlier this month, making 3D Reconstruction the company's second assessed capability available for direct government procurement.

The Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace is the premier offering of Tradewinds, the Department of War's (DoW's) service designed to accelerate the procurement and adoption of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, data, and analytics capabilities.

Achieving "Awardable" status means Niantic Spatial's 3D Reconstruction platform has been assessed through competitive procedures conforming to applicable federal acquisition requirements, and government agencies can directly engage, negotiate, and procure the technology.

A new level of operational awareness

Analysts, operators, planners, and logisticians across the Military Services, Joint Force, and Combatant Commands need accurate, current, high-fidelity 3D models, but today's solutions depend on proprietary equipment, specialized operators, and processing pipelines that can't keep pace with dynamic, contested conditions.

Niantic Spatial's reconstruction pipeline converts imagery from off-the-shelf drones, phones, 360° cameras, third-party scanning hardware, as well as ISR / UAS platforms widely used by the U.S. and its allies, into georeferenced, geometrically accurate 3D models. Unlike systems that optimize for visual plausibility, Niantic Spatial's pipeline is built for physical accuracy, rapidly producing georeferenced models that reflect the physical reality of the space captured.

"Our goal is to provide a comprehensive spatial intelligence solution for defense and intelligence operations," said Inhi Cho Suh, Chief Executive Officer, Niantic Spatial. "With both 3D Reconstruction and Visual Positioning now awardable on Tradewinds, agencies have access to an integrated capability - the ability to build a high-fidelity model of the physical world and then precisely locate within it."

Scaniverse, the company's scanning application, runs on standard iOS and Android devices for smaller area scans. For large-area reconstructions, the pipeline scales to the cloud, and SPZ - the company's open-source Gaussian Splat compression format - reduces output file sizes by up to 90% for bandwidth-constrained environments.

Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace

Niantic Spatial's video, Niantic Spatial 3D Reconstruction, accessible only by government customers on the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace, presents a number of use cases where 3D Reconstruction directly addresses capability gaps across several high-impact mission applications.

Niantic Spatial was recognized among a competitive field of applicants to the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace whose solutions demonstrated innovation, scalability, and potential impact on DoW missions. Government customers interested in viewing the video solution can create a Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace account at tradewindAI.com.
