Demonstration of miniature onboard system for image data processing and AI for SAAB platforms

Purpose and goal

The project will show how miniaturized solutions on board flying platforms can handle, process, and analyze large amounts of data. We will show how SAAB Dynamics, using Spacemetric´s and PandionAI´s software solutions, can quickly handle, process. and analyze large amounts of data within and between flying platforms (aircraft, UAVs) and ground stations. SAAB Dynamic´s focus in the project is on detection and identification of aircraft The solution will give SAAB Dynamics a competitive edge in future international collaborations using Spacemetric´s and PandionAI´s solutions.

Expected effects and result

The project will make Spacemetric and PandionAI even more integrated parts of the supply chain to the international aviation industry, from SAAB. Furthermore, Spacemetric and PandionAI will have the opportunity to take part in SAAB´s knowledge and experience. The project focus is on integrating existing capabilities rather than the creation of new capabilities. From this point of view, there is no significant TRL development during the project, but in the development work that is still intended to be carried out by Spacemetric and PandionAI in the project, there are TRL increases.

Planned approach and implementation

Spacemetric leads the project, further develops its image data processing software, and integrates the software with the project´s on-board hardware and PandionAIs AI software. PandionAI further develops its AI software and integrates the software with the project´s on-board hardware and Spacemetric´s software for image data processing. SAAB Dynamics contributes with requirements and market experience. During the project, the parties will discuss how the project results could be implemented both by SAAB Dynamics and for other uses, e.g. with other SAAB companies.
