With VectorBlox 3.0, weโre leveraging sparsity-based model compression from our Neuronix acquisition to reduce compute demands while preserving accuracy.โ๐๐ข๐ญ๐จ ๐ ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ญ๐จ, SPACEDGEโข Services Line Manager at Planetek Italia:โLeveraging VectorBlox acceleration on Microchipโs PolarFire SoC enabled us to efficiently deploy advanced onboard AI pipelines for low-latency payload operations in orbit. The platform allowed us to validate real-time Earth Observation processing capabilities including object detection, semantic scene analysis and edge-generated actionable information products on top of the AI-eXpress-1 satellite, deployed in 2025, while providing the radiation resilience and operational reliability required for continuous Low Earth Orbit operations.โ๐ ๐๐๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐จ ๐ ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐๐ง๐, Head of Hardware Engineering at AIKO:"The combination of PolarFire SoC and VectorBlox creates a powerful synergy for deploying AI-powered autonomy solutions directly in orbit. We validated this through the deployment of our clear_CHARLES suite, which provides onboard cloud and ship detection for adaptive and autonomous payload operations on power-efficient platforms, making a further step toward increasingly autonomous, responsive and software-defined space systems."
