Ubotica funded by EC to pioneer AI In Space Defence

It means the Dublin-based company has been awarded an undisclosed grant that will be funded by the European Defence Fund (EDF).

“We are delighted to receive our first grant from the European Defence Fund,” said Fintan Buckley, Ubotica CEO.


“SPACE:AI can be a critical tool in defence, identifying risks in real-time and ensuring rapid response capabilities. This support from the EDF enables us to push the boundaries of AI technology and contribute significantly to Europe’s defence capabilities.”


EDF

The EDF is an initiative of the European Union, by funding collaborative research and development projects.

Its stated aim is to foster “innovation and cooperation across member states, companies, and research institutions to develop cutting-edge defence technologies”.

Ubotica

Founded in 2017, Ubotica is headquartered in Dublin and has a team of Computer Vision Engineers in Spain and Canada, and a team of space systems experts in the Netherlands, based in the Aerospace Innovation Hub at the TU Delft Campus.

Its CogniSAT-CRC system combines AI processing – a neural network-based Cloud Detection and Removal algorithm – with lossless image compression. Launched in 2023, it is designed to save on downlink costs by optimising the image assets on the satellite.
