HIVESTAR

Hat tip, tug of the forelock, just blown away.

Folks, we are at the cusp of a capability that frankly? Blows my mind.

And now I get it why the X-37B has been spiralling about the heavens on those super long missions.

* Think of space based AI that can fuse every single 'connected' source of information and sensor feed, into one hard, smart picture to be fed to battle commanders.

Northrop got the CMCC / AI for data fusion between air vehicles, and the penny drops as I could not find the relevant space based systems until I wound back the clock and started searching through obscure journals and followed the paper trail.

Lockheed Martin are about to unleash an always staring, highly agaile and supremely survivable 'sensor mesh' ^^^ up there in the heavens.

Which was the one piece of 'P-ISR' I couldn't gel with. I've seen the high bandwidth optical work, I've seen the AESA to AESA 'X-Band' Comms, but the final, and actually the most important piece? Was stashed at the back tucked out of view.

HIVESTAR.
