PiLogic Partners with AFRL on AI Anomaly Detection Tech
PiLogic has entered a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the Air Force Research Laboratory to test its AI‑driven satellite anomaly detection on two flat‑sat prototypes at Kirtland Air Force Base. The partnership provides PiLogic with access to military testing facilities, demo opportunities, and sponsorship for a TS/SCI clearance, though it carries no direct monetary value. The system builds a custom model for each satellite, ingesting telemetry to flag faults, electronic‑warfare, cyber attacks, or space‑weather events, and can act autonomously, notify operators, or request human approval. PiLogic aims to scale the technology from ground‑based tests to operational orbiting assets for defense customers.
