SCA AI Systems is designed to operate as a human-in-the-loop platform, ensuring that every AI-generated output is reviewed, validated and quality-assured by trained SCA specialists before delivery, unlike traditional subscription-based AI tools.
This model provides a level of oversight, regulatory alignment and operational confidence not available through autonomous or consumer-grade AI products.
“SCA AI Systems represents a significant step forward in sovereign automation capability across Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom,” said James Palmer, Space Centre Australia founder and chief executive officer.
“Our industry works in environments where safety, compliance and mission assurance are not optional.
“This platform delivers the speed of AI with the oversight and integrity of human expertise.”
SCA AI Systems has been developed using Space Centre Australia’s extensive knowledge base in spaceport governance, airfield operations, airborne science missions, regulatory frameworks, defence standards and scientific research disciplines.
The platform is designed to meet the strict requirements of Australian Defence Governance Frameworks, CASA and ASA frameworks, NASA and FAA governance and operational standards, ITAR, EAR, DSGL and multi-jurisdictional export controls, research, scientific, and government safety frameworks.
SCA AI Systems is expected to be uniquely suited for organisations operating within mission-critical and security-sensitive domains, where traditional AI products fail to meet regulatory and assurance requirements.
SCA AI Systems is built around three sovereign AI suites, including a governance and compliance assistant to support policy creation, risk analysis, facility management plans, security documentation, SOPs, and regulatory alignment across aerospace, defence and high-compliance sectors.
Second is a science and research assistant, designed for heliophysics, astrophysics, atmospheric science, Earth observation, experimental research and academic mission support, including payload development, scientific drafting, launch and spaceflight simulation, modelling and data interpretation.
Third is the launch and airfield operations assistant to provide automation tools for launch facility governance, flight safety analysis, NOTAM/NOTMAR workflows, emergency planning, readiness reviews and airfield operational documentation.
With existing operations in Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom, Space Centre Australia is positioned to support government agencies, research institutions, spaceport operators, universities, defence partners, and commercial aerospace organisations seeking sovereign automation capability.
“SCA AI Systems strengthens our mission to support the next generation of space and scientific operations across allied nations,” Palmer said.
“It is built to empower our partners with smarter tools, faster workflows and safer operations all under sovereign control.”
