BlackSky Technology Inc. announced the accomplishment of a major milestone by progressing to the third and final phase of the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity's (IARPA) multi-year Space-based Machine Automated Recognition Technique (SMART) program. SMART Phase III's main objective is to transfer the SMART broad area search technologies to other U.S. government programs.
BlackSky at night
In case you are unaware, BlackSky is a company that specializes in Earth observation and geospatial intelligence services using a network of small satellites. These satellites are equipped with high-resolution imaging capabilities and are designed to monitor and analyze activities and events on Earth's surface.

BlackSky's satellites are part of the growing field of small satellite constellations that aim to provide more accessible and frequent Earth observation data. They are the same organization that made the news in May last year after discovering a mysterious Chinese blimp.
The SMART program, led by IARPA, showcases the U.S. government's dedication to incorporating advanced AI and machine learning operations (MLOps) into national security and intelligence activities. BlackSky's inventive technique in this field has not only positioned them as leaders in the program. Still, it has also shown the expansiveness and efficacy of their technology in real-world settings.
BlackSky has reported that its AI tools, developed under the SMART program, can now analyze over 20% of the Earth's surface every month. The company also claimed that its AI tools have accurately detected and classified over 2 million change observations across 120 thousand distinct sites. This was achieved after analyzing five years' worth of historic broad area satellite imagery from government and commercial sources.
"BlackSky built a high-performance machine learning operations (MLOps) architecture for the SMART program that was originally designed to manage the analysis of one million square kilometers of land," explained Patrick O'Neil, BlackSky's Chief Technology Officer. This technology now generates significant value in other US government search and discovery efforts as it analyzes over 11.5 million square miles (30 million square kilometers) of the Earth's surface monthly.
Broad area search and discovery techniques, central to BlackSky's mission in the SMART program, are essential for intelligence organizations. They provide a wide-angle and baseline picture of aggregate changes over time across large areas of the Earth's surface. This approach, ranging from environmental changes to security-related activities, is essential for monitoring and understanding global developments.
BlackSky has shown remarkable performance in the program, particularly in implementing and assessing AI-based change detection tools in their MLOps architecture. "BlackSky is utilizing AI to revolutionize the broad area search mission with outstanding speed and efficiency," O'Neil added. The insights garnered from the initial stages of the SMART program have been integrated into BlackSky Spectra to improve its operational effectiveness.
A very promising product
BlackSky, Space Daily reports, has made significant progress in the SMART program and the development of its Spectra software platform. This represents a significant advancement in space-based AI capabilities. The scalability and speed of their MLOps architecture offer promising prospects for broad-area search missions and broader applications in other U.S. government programs.
