The mission of the United States Air Force is to fly, fight and win...in air, space and cyberspace.But doing that requires a new level of coordination and integration of both manned and unmanned systems. And a way to connect “sensors to shooters.”In today’s episode, we talk with Ohad Harlev, co-founder and CEO of LyteLoop, a firm based in New York, and a recent participant in the Air Force Space Command’s Catalyst Accelerator. Ohad and his team have been working for four years to create the first space-based data center using a set of patentable techniques to store information on lasers connected to a constellation of low earth orbit satellites.LyteLoop’s innovation, a space-based data center or a “cloud above the clouds,” could be a key part of helping Dr. William Roper’s vision of accessing data anywhere become a reality. Email addresses:Mark Goode: [email protected] Harlev: [email protected] music composed by Josh Goode Music: [email protected]
