JCN Newswire (英)
Lockheed Martin and NEC Corporation (TSE:6701) today announced
that Lockheed Martin will use NEC's System Invariant Analysis
Technology (SIAT) in the space domain.
SIAT's advanced analytics engine uses data collected from sensors
to learn the behavior of systems, including computer systems, power
plants, factories and buildings, enabling the system itself to
automatically detect inconsistencies and prescribe resolutions.
NEC's advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities and
Lockheed Martin's space domain expertise offer new opportunities in
developing enhanced integrated satellite and spacecraft operations
with uniquely developed prescriptive analytics. These include rapid
assessments of changes in performance and the space environment,
such as the potential influence of space weather on electronics.
With this information, operators can improve product performance
and lifecycle efficiency.
"Lockheed Martin and NEC are experts in space and systems, and
that's the right blend to explore how AI can improve space products
for astronauts and people on the ground," said Carl Marchetto, vice
president of New Ventures at Lockheed Martin Space. "AI can
revolutionize how we use information from space, both in orbit and
on deep space missions, including crewed missions to Mars and
beyond."
"The innovative SIAT developed by NEC can make valuable
contributions to solving the challenges faced by Lockheed Martin in
the space field," said Tomoyasu Nishimura, senior vice president,
NEC Corporation. "Going forward, NEC aims to continue strengthening
this solution and to globally support safety, security and
operational efficiency in a wide variety of fields."
"It is an honor to see NEC's SIAT being used by Lockheed Martin,
one of America's leading space innovators," said Masahiro (Mark)
Ikeno, president and CEO, NEC Corporation of America. "We are
confident in SIAT's ability to contribute to the reliability,
safety and security of Lockheed Martin's developments in the space
field."
