The satellite will carry out tests of space-based AI. To help them, a supercomputer has been created that the Uppsala company Unibap is behind on behalf of FMV.
– An important component of the project is to use AI in space to reduce the amount of data sent down to Earth, for example by clearing images that are covered with clouds, says Wilhelm Lombach, staff officer at the Space Department, Air Force, in a press release.
The Bifrost project is a so-called R&D collaboration project between Denmark and Sweden. The goal of the project is to build, deploy and operate a satellite demonstrator for tactical reconnaissance and surveillance from space, using AI from a polar orbit.
The idea is that AI combined with an electro-optical sensor and radar will identify targets from space.
