Another ANU iLAuNCH Trailblazer project has been signed!

🌟 A multi-sensor detector platform for Earth Observation 🌟 

Huge congratulations to our academic teams, our industry partners, and the iLAuNCH team!

Bringing together a partnership from across the globe, the latest iLAuNCH Trailblazer project will see the Australian defence and space industry gain onshore manufacturing of new eye in the sky technology. A space camera 📷 that will provide images back to Earth at high speed to aid in disaster resilience operations, land management, and defence.

This multi-sensor camera for Earth observation is now in development with Leonardo, Spiral Blue, Nominal Systems and The Australian National University.

iLAuNCH's Darin Lovett said: "We are bringing together best-in-class technology that will help detect environmental changes, with translation opportunities to defence including Space Domain Awareness and missile guidance, as well as establishing an export market in partnership with Leonardo UK.”

“This program is a great example of technology developed for a very specific, astronomy focused, problem which we can transition to a wider market,” said ANU, Professor Rob Sharp, Advanced Instrumentation Technology Centre.“

"Demonstrating the Spiral Blue product as part of a fully integrated turn-key sensor and data management system, builds on existing commercial capability and fills a current gap in the market for small formfactor value-added AI assisted data product delivery,” said Spiral Blue, Founder, Taofiq Huq.

“This program provides an opportunity to demonstrate Nominals Systems operational support and modelling framework within a powerful mission framework that is underrepresented internationally and unprecedented in Australia,” said Nominal Systems, Chief Technology Officer, Brenton Smith.
