The Space Force, in essence, wants to move the 2018-conceived Unified Data Library from a card catalog system to a machine-to-machine search engine using artificial intelligence tools.
If a modern integrated operations network is the foundation of the home, the Unified Data Library is the electricity flowing through it, Space Force Chief Technology Officer Lisa Costa told Breaking Defense. Also, the SpaceVerse will come into play somewhere down the line.
Balancing security and access to data are critical to providing users with trustworthy, reliable data for real-time decisions.
Space Force CTIO Linda Costa said the UDL “was built based on the premise that we’re just going to process Space Force data… [but] it’s really the commercial data at scale that we need to combine with the Space Force data.”
