AI-Driven Intention Recognition in Space Surveillance Using KAT Models #worldresearchawards
Intention Recognition for Space Non-Cooperative Targets Using Kolmogorov-Arnold Transformer Introduction As human activity in Earth’s orbit continues to grow, maintaining space safety and security has become increasingly complex. Thousands of satellites, defunct spacecraft, and debris objects now populate near-Earth space. Among them, non-cooperative space targets —objects that do not transmit intent, status, or control information—pose significant challenges for space situational awareness. Understanding not only where these objects are, but what they are likely to do next , is essential. This is where intention recognition plays a crucial role. Recent advances in artificial intelligence have introduced powerful tools for interpreting complex behaviors, and one of the most promising among them is the Kolmogorov-Arnold Transformer (KAT) . What Are Non-Cooperative Space Targets? Non-cooperative space targets include: Defunct or inactive satellites Space debris and fragmentati...
