Research abstract
NOVI proposes a low-cost, multi-sensor satellite constellation and on-board edge-compute for AI software development, testing and warfighter training.á Specifically developed for space-based Earth Observation (EO) data, the platform will allow users to de-risk AI software through end-to-end development, testing, and refinement of edge-processing algorithms prior to in-space operation.The proposed customer discovery effort will aim to identify and solicit interest for military-specific use-cases, and associated service / delivery models, that allow for controlled access for DOD developers and users within prescribed security and Information Assurance (IA) protocols.
