Onboard space computation strengthens AI-based defense - Story
September 03, 2025As artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities for space advance, onboard edge processing is also improving, providing near-real-time access to data insights that were previously unobtainable. It’s a shift from information access to actionable intelligence, as AI helps manage the increasingly crowded data landscape and enhance electronics operating in the space environment. Preprocessing at the edge provides less – but more valuable – data, optimizing transmission bandwidth and reducing data latency to rapidly deliver critical information directly to the point of need. Onboard AI is also being used to monitor space systems and manage in-orbit communication, troubleshoot onboard operations, and enable dynamic mission shifts.

June 27, 2025Processing demands in space environments continue to increase exponentially, with more in-orbit applications requiring that image and signal processing as well as networked communications functions be performed at the edge. This reality increases the importance of onboard data analysis, prioritization, and sharing in reliable space-rated systems.
