- The Pentagon develops satellite technology that supports artificial intelligence.
- Satellites of artificial intelligence offer advantages amid intense competition in space.
- They can analyze super data and help evade the consequences of the Chinese electronic attack.
A wide network of military satellites that have long belonging to the United States has pushed its dominance in space. But China challenges the American situation as a superior space power, and its satellite system at the intersection.
Defense news mentioned last month The US Navy moves forward with plans to build a network of full independent satellite that can move independently without the global GPS system (GPS or ground control.
Announcements say artificial intelligence can help the United States stay in the foreground, and provide satellites with the ability to evade the consequences of the attack that is likely to paralyze, as well as more power to collect and analyze large quantities of data.
Satellite dominance race
Melanie Garson, an associate professor in resolving international conflicts and international security at the University of College in London, said the risks in the battle for satellite superiority are high.
The winner will control a vital side of the space infrastructure, which will also provide an advantage in collecting intelligence and accurate strikes in war.
Garson said artificial intelligence “will provide additional capabilities for monitoring and espionage in addition to the ability to interfere in other spaces through the spectrum war or electronic attacks.”
The United States has hundreds of military satellites in orbit, with China and Russia is not far.
If the war will erupt between the United States and China, military experts say China has the ability to severe damage to space -based assets through a group of anti -suomenine, or ASAT, including satellite programming for the attack.
A report by the CIA, which leaked in 2023, said China focuses its efforts in a war on penetrating the systems used to control US satellite networks.
It is believed that confronting the systems and the war of destruction is a preferred Chinese military tactic for the twenty -first -century war.
The report said that the paralysis of these systems will leave the satellites unable to transfer communications and data, or even coordinate with each other.
Amnesty International can be the key
Artificial intelligence of satellites can be crucial to maintain the capabilities of the United States. Unlike satellites that require human inputs, independent satellites can operate independently, process data and analyze them to make their own decisions.
Cleiton Suwop, deputy director of the Space Security Project, said that self -government makes them less likely to attack the rules or communication networks, the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
“Making decentralized decisions may add flexibility by reducing dependence on the ground infrastructure,” said Krista Langland, a deputy bullet at the Rand Space Initiative. “Artificial intelligence capabilities can also help discover and describe the attack.”
Another advantage is that artificial intelligence can help processing huge amounts of data in space, and identifying satellites that are likely to be more hostile quickly.
“The space is huge, so artificial intelligence will help satellites to understand better than what is happening around them and follows what other satellites do,” said Su out.
He said: “This can help us in the satellite maneuver to avoid cross collisions, but also remains free of potential numerical satellites,” he said.
Output
Alison Gray, Pa Consulting, told BI that the strength of technology in a revolution in American satellite technology and security is important.
She said: “In the end, automation can enable artificial intelligence a network of response and recovery from various threats in space, whether it is natural phenomena or abnormal conditions in the individual system or hostile activity.”
However, while technology is already applied in some military satellites, realizing its full potential is likely to be far.
Franck Calvili, a former official in Force Fource, said, said, The event last year It is expected that the satellites will be “significantly independent” during the next 10 to 15 years.
However, efforts are intensified to start realizing their potential. Defense news said that the US Navy is looking for a fully independent model, autosat, and she wants to take the tests further.
“We have made an experimental show for this and have proven principles and we are looking for the next step,” said Stephen Mayer, Director of Space Technology at the Marine Research Laboratory, at a modern summit in Virginia. “We want to get funding to create a system actually and launch this.”
