By GlobalDataThe two companies have been working together for many years to assess the efficacy of SIAT in early production testing and operational scenarios.
NEC’s SIAT advanced analytics engine leveraging data collected from sensors to studies the behaviour of systems, including computer systems, power plants, factories and buildings to detect inconsistencies and prescribe resolutions automatically.
The technology is integrated with Lockheed Martin’s Telemetry Analytics for Universal Artificial Intelligence (T-TAURI) AI service to achieve a complete understanding of the system.
NEC executive vice-president, CTO and board member Motoo Nishihara said: “We’re thrilled that the innovative SIAT developed by NEC provides value to Lockheed Martin as it addresses not only the development of complex systems but also the uniqueness of deep space exploration.”
