CGI and Goonhilly Earth Station Ltd. (Goonhilly) have been awarded a joint contract to advance the development of Receiver Chain Optimisation (RCO) technology using advanced real-time Artificial Intelligence (AI) and in-the-loop machine-learning (ML) techniques, thereby enhancing data transmission rates for lunar and deep space missions. The new development activity extends the scope of an existing contract under the ARTES (Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems) Core Competitiveness programme by the European Space Agency (ESA), and supported by the UK Space Agency (UKSA).
Jaime Reed, Vice-President for CGI’s UK and Australia Space Data Platforms and Applications, said: “Our Receiver Chain Optimisation technology provides a novel error correction technique for satellite signal chains leveraging the power of machine learning and CGI’s proven experience in implementing AI, as well as our new global investment to advance responsible AI adoption. This new technology, based on years of R&D, extends our capacity to help satcom and ground station operators increase their revenues and improve customer experience. Our team is working on a family of projects which will enable the Space industry to be at the forefront of exploiting AI in operations in the years to come.”
