Bengaluru: Digantara, a space domain awareness and defence intelligence company, on Tuesday unveiled MOSAIC, an AI-powered, distributed optical sensor network that gives a nation continuous, real-time custody of objects in Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
Where space surveillance has long-depended on a handful of foreign-owned, fixed sensors, MOSAIC introduces a new class of sovereign capability, built from the ground up in India, the spacetech startup said.
It added that domestically built and continuously operating, it reduces the country's reliance on foreign commercial providers for time-critical orbital tracking.
Anirudh Sharma, Founder and CEO, Digantara, said, "Every big infrastructure problem eventually stops being about having one perfect system and starts being about having many resilient ones. That's true of the power grid, it's true of the internet, and it's now true of space. In our early days, we started by asking a simple question of what's actually up there. Now, we are answering what you should know about it, and how fast can you know? Every capability we build, MOSAIC included, is really one more piece of that same answer. We aim to proliferate these sensors across the world to maintain custody and have independent catalogue maintenance."
MOSAIC extends Digantara's existing Space Domain Awareness infrastructure, which spans space-based tracking and data fusion through the in-house processing engine. It is designed to serve as the wide-area detection and custody layer feeding both, which extends Digantara's ability to detect, characterise, and maintain track of objects across the full range of orbital regimes, from LEO to GEO.
