This will form a broad national foundation for the space technology needed to support Danish Defence in the future and will be a stepping stone towards a future international cooperation regarding space-based surveillance activities of common interest.īIFROST is a satellite-based system for advanced on-orbit image and signal analysis with the aim of establishing a platform in space to gain further experience in AI-based surveillance and sensor fusion using multiple on-board sensors. Space Inventor, Terma, GateHouse SatCom and DTU are undertaking a small satellite mission to the Danish Defence with the main purpose of demonstrating AI based surveillance from space. The BIFROST project will be initiated as a joint mission with several national as well as international partners. Search and Rescue as well as provide input for the day-to-day operational planning. The monitoring of activity in the three domains from space can assist the Danish Defence in the task of enforcing sovereignty, and contribute to other operational tasks e.g. A major task for Danish Defence is detection of different types of land, maritime and aerial activity in the area. The Danish Defence has an important and increasing challenge in relation to surveillance and intelligence gathering in the Arctic area. Y of Defence has contracted with Danish partners for development and deployment of an artificial intelligence based surveillance satellite for monitoring of the Danish arctic regions.
