INSIGHT - Space Communication Network Data Analytics

ATLAS Space Operations proposes the design and construction of the data processing technology capable of ingesting a wide array of sources related to the operations of a space communication network and enabling algorithms and other analytical procedures to autonomously identify trends and anomalous data via scalable procedures. The resulting solution can leverage satellite-communication specific data to be joined with external data such as space weather toward a cohesive, all-encompassing quantification of the system state. Such a platform is a pre-requisite for the machine learning and algorithmic solutions we intend to deploy in pursuit of automating the discovery of mission insights. The mission impact of this project on the DAF and DoD will be the design and implementation of a system which can scalably ingest a variety of data sources, synthesize new metrics, run algorithmic analysis of the data, and yield automated alerts about system anomalies, trends, and performance.  The resulting system can inform decisions such as automated schedule adjustments, maintenance recommendations, and leverage of the human expert feedback process.
