The service has been conducting several acquisition and upgrading efforts involving artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve communication, data analysis and ISR systems.
The US Space Force (USSF) has been paying great attention to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to improve its inventory and access more capable equipment. According to the branch, AI and ML technologies can provide tactical and operational advantages, and it has been working on diverse AI/ML-related efforts.
AI and ML algorithms have been deployed to enhance adaptability and resilience for space solutions, provide faster and more secure and reliable communications, improve ISR systems and accelerate data analysis, information sharing and targeting, in addition to shortening the decision-making process.
One of those initiatives is the Satellite Communication Augmentation
