We\u2019re able to do that through partners. We create that environment in the cloud that enables solutions whether it\u2019s through [our] Sagemaker [solution] or other ML applications that we have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mattear described the concept of intelligent routing as leveraging edge computing to most efficiently transfer data required to power AI and ML solutions across multi-layered satellite networks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to enable that in real-time. That\u2019s where that edge [compute] capability exists, and we need to expand upon that capability and the further development of AI tools to enable edge computing to bring that information as effectively and efficiently from the battlefield back to the source that needs it,\u201d Mattear said.  <\/p>\n<p>Alvaro Sanchez, CEO of software firm Integrasys, echoed Mattear\u2019s comments that AI\/ML-enabled sensors on satellite systems must work toward efficiently transmitting highly specific, targeted packages of data rather than \u201ca huge amount of information from every sensor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need systems as intelligent as possible, as automated as possible, as human-less as possible, because humans tend to make errors. Systems can avoid those errors thanks to artificial intelligence and automation. There\u2019s a much greater percentage of success and not failure in a given mission,\u201d Sanchez said. \u201cIt needs to be a little bit filtered within the sensor in order to have a fast and reliable system.\u201d <strong>VS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>,<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"widget-title\">In This Issue<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<!-- post id 425:
