As space becomes more crowded, Space Force turns to AI (Patrick Tucker, Defense One)

The Space Force will need to use AI in new ways to identify and track objects in space—also called “space domain awareness”—as space becomes increasingly congested, the service’s acting deputy chief of space operations for cyber and data said Wednesday at a Booz Allen Hamilton event. Long gone are the days when a single airman observed one satellite or space object to make sure it wasn’t acting strangely or veering toward possible collision, Seth Whitworth said. Now, one of the big questions for the Space Force is how many space objects can a single guardian fly, monitor, or track at once, with the possible help of automated tools.
