CANOPY: Cross-domain Attribution and Orbital Protection sYstem

National Security Hackathon (by Army xTech)

"We must defend U.S. space capabilities, and we must protect our forces from space-enabled attack." — CSO Gen. Saltzman, Space Warfighting, March 2025. Space supports every fight. CANOPY lets every fight support space. A brigade in the field depends on space for everything: GPS, encrypted radio, blue force tracker, satellite imagery. But adversaries no longer attack space alone. They jam signals on the ground, probe networks through cyber, and maneuver inspector satellites in orbit. Today, no one fuses those signals fast enough to see it. CANOPY does. It ingests data from every domain: RF, cyber, OSINT, HUMINT, satellite tracks, GPS integrity, comms health, and drone sensors. It turns this into a single decision a brigade commander can act on. Three AI agents (gemma4:e2b) make that decision auditable: one names the adversary, a red team challenges it, and a reconciler produces the final assessment with calibrated confidence. Every action is grounded in real orbital mechanics (Skyfield/SGP4) and a doctrine-grounded threat knowledge base with ROE. Every step is visible and traceable on screen. The output is one of three actions: passive defense, active defense, or strike request, which are routed automatically to the proper authority. The commander gets one button. The right response gets the right approval at tactical speed. CANOPY runs at the edge on a single Nvidia Jetson with an RTX 3090, and can go from first anomaly sensed to decision in <20 seconds. We also ship an evaluation harness with an adversarial scenario benchmark to measure attribution accuracy and confidence calibration; this serves as a foundation for frontier labs to red-team agentic systems against real & simulated cross-domain campaigns in Space.
