Voyager Technologies and Palantir have announced an expanded collaboration aimed at developing artificial intelligence-powered systems to strengthen space domain awareness and address risks of collisions and other potential threats.
Enhancing Space Domain Awareness
The defense technology and space services provider said Monday the open-architecture system is designed to detect, identify, classify and track space-based objects by utilizing data from Voyager’s on-orbit assets, including VPX signal processing electronics and chassis, signals intelligence software and Palantir’s AI/machine learning engines.
The collaboration also intends to transition the SDA system from Technology Readiness Level 4 to TRL8 by 2026. Palantir will also leverage its AI capabilities to boost Voyager’s defense and national security offerings.
“Our partnership is driving resilience into national security space by providing decision-makers with critical information on operationally relevant timescales,” said Matt Magaña, president of defense and national security at Voyager. “We’re developing an integrated solution, harnessing the power of AI with Palantir’s software stack and taking advantage of real-time radio frequency streams and imagery to perform space-based object detection, identification, classification and tracking.”
“We are deepening our partnership with Voyager to deliver the transformative capabilities required to maintain our national security,” added Robert Imig, head of U.S. government research and development at Palantir. “We are further extending the reach of our AI solutions from ground to space, a critical frontier where demands are intensifying as the environment grows increasingly contested.”
