Bump in the Wire (BITW)
Description
BITW is a software technology designed to detect anomalous commands and trends in telemetry beyond traditional detection methods such as command parsers and telemetry limit checkers. It provides an extensible architecture that enables a pipeline of detection plugins based on Machine Learning (ML) models and signature-based algorithms
Detailed example
Expected output is identification of commands anomalies in command data and telemetry values
AI / analytics pattern
Classical/Predictive Machine Learning: Models trained on data to make predictions or classifications based on identified patterns or relationships.
Automation level / stage
a) Pre-deployment – The use case is in a development or acquisition status.
Expected benefit
Intended benefit for this technology is to improve upon the detection of anomalous space system commands and telemetry beyond traditional command parsers and telemetry limit checkers, and to improve the time to detect anomalies by embedding the detection software on the edge computing platform such as a spacecraft.
