Op-ed | Is AI key to the survival of satcoms?
As the world becomes more connected, many don’t see a need for satellite, yet we must remind ourselves that the global communications network cannot survive without satellite communication. How can satellite services survive? Could artificial intelligence (AI) be the answer?
Booz Allen Hamilton pursuing growth in military space programs
Senior VP Chris Bogdan: “We don’t build satellites, rockets or rovers. We are investing in open architectures."
Self-driving spacecraft? The challenge of verifying AI will work as intended
To prepare for self-driving cars, mobility companies have spent more than a decade gathering data from thousands of vehicles equipped with a variety of technology. No comparable database exists for companies or government agencies aiming to give spacecraft more autonomy.
