Sentient (intelligence analysis system)

Sentient is a heavily classified artificial intelligence satellite analysis system of the United States Intelligence Community.^[1]

The automated intelligence analysis system was developed and is operated by the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) of the United States federal government.^[2]^[3]^[1]^[4] Available information describes it as a complex automated system that allows Intelligence agencies of the USA and the United States Armed Forces, and other artificial satellites in Earth orbits to track in real time any objects detected or photographed, and to automatically repurpose with artificial intelligence and machine learning the tracking of targets, and to even decide which targets are worth tracking.^[2]^[3]^[1]^[4]

Known public records of Sentients development programs and process date from 2010 onward, and identify it as being created by the NROs Advanced Systems and Technology Directorate (AS&T).^[4]^[5] NRO emails from 2021 dicslosed that the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF), which later became the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, was involved with the NRO and the Sentient program.^[6]
