BQP Awarded Federal Contract to Advance Quantum-Assisted AI for Space Domain Awareness

BosonQ Psi Federal (BQP) has been awarded its first federal contract through the SpaceWERX Open Topic SBIR program to develop Physics-Constrained Quantum-Assisted Machine Learning (PC-QAML) software for Space Domain Awareness. The software aims to classify uncorrelated orbital tracks — unidentified objects detected by the U.S. Space Surveillance Network — by combining physics-based modeling with quantum-inspired ML techniques. BQP claims the approach reduces AI model size by 99% (from 14 million to 2,000 parameters) while maintaining over 99% classification accuracy, delivering up to 10x lower inference latency and 90% lower power consumption. The system is designed to run on space-qualified edge processors without requiring cloud infrastructure or quantum hardware, enabling autonomous analysis on satellites and forward-deployed systems.
