Based on high-level user-specified missions – such as pattern of life monitoring or multi-vehicle tracking – CASTT continuously and autonomously tasks satellites for data collection, analyzes the resulting data, and then issues follow-up collection tasks to the satellites based on the analyses while disseminating data and AI/ML analyses directly to end users via mobile and web apps. In contrast, the
current manually intensive satellite imagery intelligence process is time consuming, laborious, and
slow. CASTT automation and optimization results in more timely information, better use of highly constrained resources, and better intelligence.

CASTT integrates Auria’s mature satellite tasking, optimized collection planning, and data dissemination software with AI/ML automatic target recognition on tactical timelines. Its cloud-based architecture provides wide, secure access and scalability to add/expand automated analysis algorithms and commercial satellite interfaces. Auria leverages existing contracts with commercial satellite operators for archive imagery and satellite tasking sales to provide the CASTT system capabilities. Beyond initial applications for the USAF, CASTT is applicable for disaster response, ecological monitoring, agricultural operations, and more.
