CORTEX1.ai

As a technology-first company, Black Sky leverages a software-based approach to advance aerospace and defense technologies.

Black Sky’s proprietary platform, Cortex1.ai underpins every stage of our processes, from research and development—where we capture and process launch and static fire data to characterize specific solid rocket propellant formulas—to the design, development and simulated and real world testing of our broader suite of products. This system enables rapid iteration and increased product velocity through a data-driven approach to research and development.

Cortex1.ai also powers our mission control capabilities, including telemetry, tracking, performance monitoring, and fire control. Black Sky’s Distributed Encrypted Missile Operations Network (D.E.M.O.N.) system supports our rocket technology teams by enabling real-time tracking and command of assets in the field, giving us an asymmetric advantage.

Additionally, Cortex1.ai is also integral to Black Sky’s sustainment services, providing real-time health tracking for our products and their components. It facilitates the remote delivery of software and firmware updates through secure, encrypted connections via Cortex1.node and the cortex1.network.

In essence, Cortex1.ai empowers Black Sky to produce superior products more rapidly, reducing cycle times, enhancing product velocity, and improving productivity, quality, sustainment and safety.
