Voyager and Palantir working on AI solution for SDA

On March 10, Voyager Technologies announced that it is expanding its partnership with Palantir Technologies to develop AI-powered solutions for enhanced space domain awareness (SDA), enabling the proactive mitigation of potential collisions and threats.

“Our partnership is driving resilience into national security space by providing decision-makers with critical information on operationally relevant timescales,” said Matt Magaña, president of defense and national security at Voyager. “We’re developing an integrated solution, harnessing the power of AI with Palantir’s software stack and taking advantage of real-time radio frequency streams and imagery to perform space-based object detection, identification, classification and tracking.”

The open-architecture SDA system pulls data from existing on-orbit assets using Voyager’s VPX signal processing electronics and chassis, signals intelligence software and mission services capabilities and Palantir’s AI/Machine-Learning engines. The team aims to rapidly transition the SDA system from TRL4 to TRL8 as a hosted payload in 2026.

“We are deepening our partnership with Voyager to deliver the transformative capabilities required to maintain our national security,” said Robert Imig, head of USG research and development at Palantir. “We are further extending the reach of our AI solutions from ground to space, a critical frontier where demands are intensifying as the environment grows increasingly contested.”
