Lockheed Martin and NEC to Enhance Satellites, Space Travel with Artificial Intelligence

Lockheed Martin and NEC Corporation today announced that Lockheed Martin will use NECÂs System Invariant Analysis Technology (SIAT) in the space domain.

SIATÂs 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.

NECÂs advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities and Lockheed MartinÂs 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.

ÂLockheed Martin and NEC are experts in space and systems, and thatÂs 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. ÂAI can revolutionize how we use information from space, both in orbit and on deep space missions, including crewed missions to Mars and beyond.Â

ÂThe 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.  ÂGoing forward, NEC aims to continue strengthening this solution and to globally support safety, security and operational efficiency in a wide variety of fields.Â

ÂIt is an honor to see NECÂs SIAT being used by Lockheed Martin, one of AmericaÂs leading space innovators, said Masahiro (Mark) Ikeno, president and CEO, NEC Corporation of America. ÂWe are confident in SIATÂs ability to contribute to the reliability, safety and security of Lockheed MartinÂs developments in the space field.Â
