The aerospace and defence industry continues to be a hotbed of innovation, with activity driven by developments in artificial technology and machine learning, and growing importance of technologies such as drones, satellite technology and big data. In the last three years alone, there have been over 174,000 patents filed and granted in the aerospace and defence industry, according to GlobalData’s report on Artificial Intelligence in Aerospace, Defence & Security: Sensor-guided aiming assists.
However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend.

The US Army Space and Missile Defense Technical Center (USASMDC-TC) has signed a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) with CACI International.
The newly signed five-year agreement requires the company to work on the development and evaluation of advanced capabilities for its demonstration satellite (DemoSat).
CACI’s DemoSat will carry precision navigation and timing (PNT) and tactical intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (TacISR) payloads into low Earth orbit (LEO).
