Artificial intelligence, Big data, Supercomputer, neuromorphic networks and quantum computers at the service of Earth observation, to make Europe even more competitive in this field: this is foreseen by the agreement signed between the Agency's Phi-Lab research center Spaziale Europea (Esa) and the companies Leonardo, Telespazio (joint venture Leonardo 67%, Thales 33%) and e-Geos (joint venture Telespazio 80%, Italian Space Agency 20%).

The signing took place at the ESA center for Earth Observation, Esrin, located in Italy, in Frascati (Rome). 

The aim of the agreement is to increase the advantages deriving from observing the Earth from space, enhancing the analysis of data, increasingly numerous and complex, thanks to the most advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence, Big data, supercomputers, neuromorphic networks and computers. quantum.

The mission of the Phi-Lab active at Esrin is "to understand how to overcome the current boundaries of Earth observation, of the way it is conceived, designed and implemented," said Simonetta Cheli, director of Earth Observation programs. 'Esa. "The final objective - he added - is to strengthen the innovation component of this sector, to strengthen Europe's competitiveness at a world level, both from a scientific and commercial point of view". 

The projects covered by the joint collaboration include studies on neuromorphic networks, i.e. the new artificial intelligence architectures that mimic the human brain and its neural networks, to go beyond traditional deep learning by increasing the efficiency and speed of information processing. 

For Luigi Pasquali, coordinator of Leonardo's space activities and CEO of Telespazio, "the collaboration between Leonardo Labs and the Esa Phi-Lab will accelerate the development of new solutions in this area, leveraging innovative infrastructures and ESA specialists and by Leonardo, Telespazio and e-Geos ".
