Slingshot Aerospace released Portal, an artificial intelligence-based platform for satellite data monitoring and analysis this week. The software combines Slingshot’s data flows with external sources into its analytics engine, which operators could use to track orbital activity and assess maneuvering options in response to anomalies and threats.

In a statement, Slingshot said Portal integrates observations from the Slingshot Global Sensor Network, government tracking data, and a continuously updated space object catalog. Customers are also able to add third-party data sources and their own, it said.

Using the data, operators can monitor orbit in close to real time and evaluate potential mission impacts of maneuvers through physics-based 3D visualizations and AI-supported analysis.

“Space is a dynamic, contested operating environment, and the tools built for yesterday’s orbital domain are no longer sufficient,” Slingshot Aerospace CEO Tim Solms said. “Slingshot Portal unifies sensing, intelligence, and action into a single operational process empowering operators to respond faster, make confident decisions and take real-time action.”

Slingshot is aiming the platform at defense, civil, and commercial operators. It noted that Portal could be deployed in disconnected command-and-control environments for national security-motivated users.
