Automated target recognition service will fuse
multiple satellite data sources, maintain vehicle custody and
disseminate intelligence worldwide
BlackSky Technology Inc. (NYSE: BKSY) won a competitive U.S. Air
Force Research Laboratory AFWERX Direct to Phase 2 contract, funded
by the Space Development Agency, to build an automated target
recognition service that will gather and combine radio frequency
and electro-optical satellite sensor data to track mobile assets in
real-time and securely distribute actionable intelligence to remote
devices and analysts worldwide.
“BlackSky’s first-of-its-kind commercial, vertically integrated
space and ground architecture takes advantage of contemporary
advances in AI and edge processing to advance the DOD’s real-time
imagery and analytics delivery requirements,” said Patrick O’Neil,
BlackSky chief technology officer. “The company’s rapid-revisit
capabilities and leading innovations in automated detection give
customers an opportunity to conduct ISR operations from space.”
BlackSky has a proven ability to track moving targets on-orbit
using its proprietary electro-optical high-resolution satellite
constellation. Unlike traditional moving target indicators that
rely exclusively on radar sensors, the BlackSky Spectra platform
uses multi-frame Burst imagery and computer vision to fuse
open-source intelligence feeds with multi-sensor imagery to provide
information and intelligence on critical targets of interest.
“BlackSky will take advantage of our existing commercial ground
and space architectures that enable assured secure tasking,
collection, and low-latency data delivery to make mobile asset
monitoring possible at scale,” said O’Neil.
