Lockheed Martin, a leading U.S. space company, has recently announced its collaboration with NEC to leverage the Japanese tech giant’s artificial intelligence (AI) software for analyzing data from space sensors. According to SpaceNews.com, Carl Marchetto, vice president of new operations at Lockheed Martin Space, emphasized that AI is set to transform how we process and utilize information gathered from space missions and orbital systems.
NEC's System Invariant Analysis Technology (SIAT) is designed to interpret sensor data and gain insights into complex systems such as power grids, factories, and infrastructure. The technology can detect anomalies, learn from patterns, and even suggest corrective actions, making it a powerful tool for monitoring and maintaining critical systems.
Experts believe AI holds the key to unlocking the vast potential of space exploration. NASA, for instance, is using Google's AI and machine learning tools to analyze data from the Kepler Space Telescope in the search for exoplanets that might support life. This partnership highlights the growing role of AI in advancing scientific discovery.
Lockheed Martin envisions numerous applications for AI in space, including real-time satellite performance monitoring, environmental change detection, and predicting the effects of space weather on electronic systems. Tomyasu Nishimura, senior vice president at NEC, stated that this collaboration will help expand NEC's presence in the U.S. market and integrate its technologies into government projects.
Currently, NEC serves as the prime contractor for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's biometrics export pilot program, utilizing its advanced facial recognition matching technology. As private investment surges into the AI sector, defense companies like Lockheed are increasingly turning to commercial vendors for cutting-edge AI solutions.
Raj Shah, director of the U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Innovation Unit Experimental (DIUX), noted that in 2016, major tech companies invested over $40 billion in AI research and an additional $10 billion in startups. By contrast, the Department of Defense allocated less than $100 million for AI research during the same period.
A recent report by Govini, a big data analytics firm, highlights that AI is giving defense contractors and the Pentagon a significant competitive edge. The report states that AI has already proven to match or even surpass human cognitive abilities in several critical scenarios.
Computer vision is now being used in various military applications. For example, Leidos has integrated AI software into the Army Geospatial Center's high-resolution 3D mapping program, while Raytheon has applied computer vision in multi-spectral targeting systems used by the U.S. military. These advancements underscore the transformative impact of AI on national security and space exploration.
