SaraniaSat’s proposed HIMACS (High-Performance Onboard Computing Enabled Multi-Agent Collaboration in Space) solution is in response to the challenges associated with Autonomy in the Space Domain, which is a largely underexplored topic. HIMACS makes a number of unique missions become possible through collaboration across the swath of space operating domains such as Space Domain Awareness (SDA), environmental monitoring, and on-orbit servicing and manufacturing. SaraniaSat’s HIMACS solution addresses DoD/USAF priorities in resilience, reconstitution, and operations to assure our space capabilities. Pertinent to HIMACS are the USAF Strategic Multidisciplinary Solutions for Resilient Information Sharing; Rapid, Effective Decision-Making; Complexity, Unpredictability, and Mass; and BLUE SKY. Finally, HIMACS addresses Space Domain Awareness (SDA), a USSF Core Competency (Space Capstone Publication) by handling uncertainty in a dynamic environment through decentralized execution. During Phase II SaraniaSat and its partners NASA-ARC and AFRL/RV will design, build, assemble and test a Ground Demonstration of the HIMACS Multi-Agent Collaboration capability using Drone Swarms at the AFRL’s Local Intelligent Network Collaborative Satellites (LINCS) laboratory. The Phase II demonstration will be conducted to USSF/USAF end-user and customer requirements derived during the Phase I feasibility study.
