Defense startup Slingshot Aerospace has created an artificial intelligence capability that allows the Space Force to train guardians for real-life satellite tactics and maneuvers, the company announced Tuesday.
The Thinking Agent for Logical Operations and Strategy (TALOS) tool is an AI-powered agent able to study and clone various spacecraft operations into a simulated environment of the space domain, according to a Slingshot news release.

Interagency coordination to defeat domestic drone attacks

U.S. wargaming exercises using Fort Bliss, TX and Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, HI in March as simulated targets explored drone deterrence and defense. These scenarios sparked the involvement of over 30 state and federal agencies, which also triggers many complex jurisdictional complications.
Last month, Ukraine reportedly smuggled hundreds of drone into Russia, destroying 20-40 aircraft across five air bases. A heavy loss for Russia and a reminder for America that base defense against drone threats needs to be a priority.

The startup principle “fail fast, learn faster” has defined the American space industry for much of the 21st century. The U.S. private sector has pushed the technical boundaries in rocket launch, low Earth orbit satellites, imagery analytics, and other areas, and through this innovation has become the driving force behind America’s leadership in space.But the United States is no longer alone at the vanguard. China has watched and learned from America’s space startups to accelerate its own dynamic commercial space sector.
