Smarter Space Traffic Management. To contribute to the evolution of spacecraft operations, Neuraspace aims to solve the space debris problem by protecting satellites operators from the losses caused by collisions, liabilities from leaving debris in orbit and allowing insurance companies to better price the risk that each satellite poses. The continuous increase in space traffic and debris in the last years lead to a significant increase in the amount of information related to conjunction events. This situation poses a very complex challenge to space operators as the conjunction events need a careful “manual'' analysis, which is time, cost and effort consuming. AI (specifically ML) algorithms represent an essential technique in the automation of this process, mainly due to its ability to handle big amounts of data. By using a data driven approach with state of the art Machine Learning techniques, Neuraspace is able to outperform the current methods, while automating the process of collision risk avoidance. Neuraspace enables the timely detection of up to 33% more high-risk collisions that have been so far undetected, thus securing space operations.

Athena AI provides military forces with unmatched decision support capability utilising state of the art AI vision toolbox, geospatial AI for terrain analysis, advanced effects modelling and integrated Rules of Engagement (ROE) considerations. Athena AI is one of the only vision-based AI systems on the market that combines AI computer vision, AI enabled decision support and display of the AI information in an optimised user interface to enhance decision speed and accuracy without preventing biases. Athena AI combines all these features by design to provide the game changing capability of an AI enhanced platform / operator / unit, able to operate lawfully and with a high operational tempo. Athena AI does this by producing novel hierarchical neural networks for each specific decision support use case to optimise both speed and accuracy. Athena Geospatial AI combines height maps and satellite imagery for rapid terrain assessment. This includes route planning, weapons effects, communications assessments and CASEVAC planning. Athena also supports a variety of other sensing AI exploitation including thermal video computer vision and pose detection of humans. https://youtu.be/pDoh_R8wdBY
