South Australian AI company aircraft signed two Memorandum (MoUs) develops and brings to market new solutions for space.Those MoUs are with Scanway (Poland — Innovative smart imaging system) and HEX20 (Australia — New Constellation of Smart Satellites).
The signing and announcement of both partnerships 15th Australian Space Forum It will take place in Adelaide, Australia on May 9, 2023. The partnership will leverage AICRAFT’s AI and semiconductor technology, Scanway’s expertise in designing and manufacturing electro-optical systems for space and industrial applications, and HEX20’s expertise and experience in satellite and avionics design and manufacturing. .
Both companies Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) organized the first meeting between AICRAFT and Scanway as part of a business matching event between the Polish and Australian delegations. 2022 International Space Congress in Paris. Austrade’s role is to advance the capabilities of Australia’s space sector and connect Australian companies with international partners through a network of trade professionals in Australian and global markets.
A partnership with HEX20, another South Australian company, will explore designing, deploying and operating small sats and payloads at LEO, as well as building smarter, larger satellites for future geostationary and deep space missions. increase.
“Our collaboration with Scanway presents a unique opportunity to incorporate our low-power, high-speed edge computing technology into space-proven imaging systems for real-time earth observation and space domain awareness. AICRAFT is on a mission to turn every payload into a smart one by incorporating scalable AI technology. A South Australian local company, he is delighted to partner with HEX20. This will enable us to integrate, launch and provide low-latency services to our customers.“
— PhD Tony ScolelliCEO of AICRAFT
“Scanway is very excited about the possibilities that will arise from working with AICRAFT to the extent that they will provide more advanced optical payloads with AI to improve the performance of Scanway’s telescopes in orbit.”— Mr. Jedjay KowalewskiCEO of Scanway SA
“The adoption of AI technology is mandatory for modern satellites. The HEX20 team is pleased to partner with AICRAFT to equip HEX20’s future satellite constellation with cutting-edge software-defined and AI payloads”— Lloyd Jacob LopezCEO of HEX20.
AICRAFT is a South Australian company that designs and manufactures artificial intelligence (AI) powered smart sensors, customized systems and electronic boards. The company specializes in purpose-built electronics and advanced semiconductor technology to create ultra-compact, high-speed, low-power embedded AI solutions for high-performance edge computing in space and on Earth.
Scanway SA consists of two teams: Scanway Space, which specializes in creating observation systems for micro- and nano-satellites, and Scanway Industry, which develops industrial quality control systems. Scanway Space is one of the European leaders in the field of optical payloads and space cameras. The company designs, develops and implements smart optics for small satellites. These include Scanway’s Optical Payload (SOP) and Spacecraft Health Scanner (SHS). Years of experience, the diverse skills of Scanway’s engineers, and several completed and ongoing R&D projects of his (including PIAST and EagleEye) have allowed Scanway to develop its own You can create your solution.
HEX20 is founded and run by a group of people passionate about space and its ever-expanding horizons.
