AI to Track Hypersonic Missiles

A Mach 10 hypersonic missiles moves at over 2 miles per second. A missile would move 128 miles in one minute by moving over 7600 mph.

Tracking a threat traveling at Mach 10 requires the collaboration of several satellites designed to accurately detect, classify, track, and predict the trajectory of targets. This problem is compounded by the fact that defense systems must be able to maintain custody of an increasing number of moving objects. EpiSci’s modular Tactical AI is positioned to solve these emerging challenges by delivering AI/ML enhanced algorithms for rapid, low-latency detection, classification, and predictive tracking at the edge. These emerging systems will be able to intelligently focus resources on objects of interest and adapt to never-before-seen targets. EpiSci is partnering with Raytheon Missile Systems to provide representative training and evaluation datasets of hypersonic targets in complex environments.
