• MHI completed an in-orbit demonstration of its AI-based object detection system AIRIS.
• The system identified ships from satellite imagery using a next-generation space-grade microprocessor unit.
• AIRIS combines an AI-equipped data processor with an earth observation camera.
• The system operates onboard a satellite using the SOISOC4 space-grade MPU.

This development may indicate MHI's growing interest in satellite-based surveillance and AI applications. The successful demonstration of AIRIS suggests a potential expansion of MHI's capabilities in the field of space-based object detection, which could have implications for maritime security and monitoring.
