Defense AI Brief
Hi there,
Welcome to this week's edition of Defense AI Brief.
Fujitsu and ARYA have teamed up to develop an AI solution that uses video analytics and geospatial AI to detect suspicious behavior in real-time, targeting facilities such as airports and hotels in North America. Meanwhile, Bengaluru-based startup VECROS Technologies has developed AI-powered drones capable of navigating without GPS, using advanced vision systems to autonomously operate with visual landmarks.
Firefly Aerospace plans to acquire defense analytics firm SciTec for $855 million, aiming to strengthen its national security market position. In another development, Muon Space has secured a $44.6 million contract from the U.S. Space Force to develop a space-based environmental monitoring system using AI. The project includes a three-satellite prototype for meteorology and wildfire detection.
